Our prediction for this Primera Division match:
Buoyed by a 2-1 win over Almeria, Sevilla will look to give fans yet another reason to celebrate when they take on Getafe at Coliseum Alfonso Perez. Jorge Sampaoli’s troops proved their worth in the Andalusian derby, but they need to keep on raising their form if they are to represent Spain in European competitions next term. Fernando is banned for the match, while all Karim Rekik, Dario Gomez, and Teixeira Marcao remain in the recovery room.
Los Azulones, on the other hand, are desperate to escape the relegation zone, but beating los Sevillanos is easier said than done. A close encounter is on the cards in the suburbs of Madrid, and we believe that there is a big value in betting on draw. Domingos Duarte serves a one-game ban following his sending off in a 2-2 draw with Cadiz, whilst Mauro Arambarri continues to miss out with injury.
Highlighted Player (Djené):
A central defender who can equally be deployed as a right-back, Djene Dakonam has emerged as one of the most influential Getafe players in the 2017/18 season. His road to prominence was a long one, however, and Djene had to bide his time in order to be recognized for quality he undoubtedly possesses. Dapaong-born Togolese international, Djene Dakonam made his first football steps as a youth member of Etoile Filante.
Spells in Benin and Cameroon with Tonnerre d’Abomey and Coton Sport, respectively, saw Djene Dakonam grab attention of Alcoron, who moved in to bring him to Spain in 2014. During two years in Spain Djene Dakonam made 59 league appearances before moving to Sint-Truidense. It was in Belgium that Djene Dakonam proved his defensive versatility and Getafe came calling the very next year, in 2017.
Djene proved to be an instant hit with the Azulones and is hoping a move to one of Europe’s biggest clubs will not be too far away for him. The likes of Arsenal and Tottenham have been sniffing around him during the summer transfer window in 2018 but were ultimately scared off by his £31 million release clause.
