Our prediction for this Primera Division match:
Estadio Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan will host Sunday’s La Liga game between Sevilla and Getafe. Los Sevillanos aim to build on a hard-fought 1-0 win over Cadiz, and the reputable bookies see them as hot favourites to beat los Azulones on home soil. All Bono, Munir, and En Nesyri are on international duty, while Jules Kounde is back from suspension. A man to watch in the home team will be Lucas Ocampos, who scored the winner at Cadiz.
Getafe, on the other hand, did well to shock Real Madrid in the local derby at home ground, but given their poor away record in La Liga, anything but a routine home win would be a major surprise. Centre-back Djene returns for the visiting team after serving his one-game ban in the triumph over los Blancos. In the first half of the season Sevilla defeated Getafe thanks to Erik Lamela’s late goal.
Highlighted Player (Marko Dmitrovic):
A Red Star Belgrade youth prospect, Serbian goalkeeper Marko Dmitrovic never got a chance to shine at his boyhood club. The talented shot-stopper was forced to take a longer road to prominence and travelled through Hungary, England and Spain to find his place under the sun. Spells with Ujpest, Charlton Athletic and Alcoron brought nothing but disappointment for the Serbia ‘keeper, who rose to full prominence at Eibar.
Dmitrovic was voted the best player of Eibar for the 2017/18 season after not missing a single league appearance for Los Armeros. Apart from his footballing exploits, Marko Dmitrovic remains remembered for saving Angel Rodriguez Diaz’s life in a game against Getafe.
Dmitrovic was the one to unintentionally knock Angel to the ground after a duel in the box and was also the first one to pull his tongue out when it became apparent that Angel was lying still on the ground. Marko Dmitrovic is Serbia’s second choice goalkeeper who made his debut in 2017. The Eibar custodian was part of Serbia’s World Cup expedition in Russia but did not get a chance in goal with Vladimir Stojkovic being favoured between the sticks.
Highlighted Team (Getafe):
