Sevilla
High-flying Sevilla take on Villanovense at Estadio Municipal de Villanovense in the Copa del Rey last 32. Sevilla have been producing thrilling displays in the 2018/2019 season and they want to kick off their Spanish Cup campaign in style as well. Los Sevillanos are likely to stick to their attacking style of play against Villanovense and we predict that they are going to advance to the last 16 of the Copa del Rey. Villanovense sit in the relegation zone in the Segunda B standings and we do not believe that they are capable of claiming a major scalp in their Spanish Cup opener. Sevilla coach Pablo Machin is likely to mix the squad against Villanovense, but regardless of which players will be deployed in the starting XI, we believe that away win should be considered. A man to watch in the away team will be summer signing Andre Silva, who has been scoring goals for fun this term.
Highlighted Player (Maxime Gonalons):
The 27-year-old France international defensive midfielder Maxime Gonalons has been with Lyon since the tender age of 10, climbing through the club’s rank all the way to the first-team regular and club captain. Gonalons made his competitive debut for Lyon in 2009 against Anderlecht in the UEFA Champions League playoof round when he came on for Jeremy Toulalan.
During the seven seasons with Lyon’s first-team, Maxime Gonalons established himself as the mainstay completing the total of 212 Ligue 1 appearances. Reliable midfielder has been a major impact in Lyon’s Champions League challenges as well, taking part in all of his club’s five appearances in Europe’s elite competition last year.
Playing in the holding role at Lyon, Maxime Gonalons’ influence is pivotal as the French international adds much needed steel to the midfield allowing his more creative teammates the freedom and carelessness upfront. His locker room impact is equally crucial as the 27-year-old midfielder is an imposing figure both on and off the pitch.
