Our prediction for this Primera Division match:
After suffering a heavy 6-1 loss to Atletico Madrid, Sevilla will look to get back on course in La Liga when they welcome Almeria to their Estadio Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan. Los Sevillanos experienced all sorts of problems at the back in the Estadio Wanda Metropolitano defeat, but they are surely capable of beating Almeria in front of home fans. Midfielde Pape Gueye is banned for the match, while all Loic Bade, Karim Rekik, and Jesus Corona remain in the recovery room.
The visitors, on the other hand, failed to impress in a 2-0 loss to Villarreal, and given their poor away record in the 2022/2023 season (0-3-8), we predict that the hosts are going to pick up all three points from the match. As for the away team, there are no fresh injury worries ahead of the Andalusian derby, but all Marino, Centelles, and Costa are pushing for a start.
Highlighted Player (Marcos Acuña):
Marcos Acuna is an Argentina international who plays for Sporting Club de Portugal as a winger. Born in Zapala, Argentina on October 28, 1991, Acuna started his senior career at Ferro Carril Oeste. After scoring 5 goals in 117 appearances for the Argentine club from 2010 to 2014, he moved to Racing Club in the summer of 2014.
The 172-cm-tall footballer looked sharper in front of goal during his spell with la Academia, scoring 16 goals in 78 appearances for the club. In June 2017 Marcos Acuna decided to take a step forward in his career, joining Portuguese outfit Sporting CP. He made his debut with the Lions in a 2-0 win over Deportivo Aves on August 6, 2017.
Acuna plays for the Argentine national team as well, making his debut for la Albiceleste on November 15, 2016 in a World Cup qualifier against Colombia. His main position is left-back, but he is used as both left midfielder and left winger as well.
Highlighted Team (Almeria):
UD Almeria is a Spanish club based in the autonomous community of Andalusia. Los Rojiblancos are one of the newer additions to the Spanish football system, with the club being founded on July 26, 1989.
Almeria suffered relegation to Segunda Division in the 2014/15 season, and they have been competing in the Spanish second tier ever since. Los Rojiblancos are well known for their white shirts with red stripes, while blue is the dominant colour of their away jersey. Sofiane Feghouli, Felipe Melo, Diego Alves, Veljko Paunovic, Aleix Vidal, Alvaro Negredo, Tomer Hemed, and Mate Bilic are some notable footballers who played for Almeria in the past. Fellow Andalusian clubs Sevilla, Malaga, and Granada are considered the club’s fiercest rivals.
The club’s biggest success in Copa del Rey came in the 2010/11 season when they made it to the semis of the prestigious competition. Nonetheless, Catalan giants Barcelona proved to be a big catch for Almeria in the Spanish Cup semi-finals.
