Our prediction for this Primera Division match:
Sevilla will look to register their first win of the season when they take on Getafe in the La Liga round 5. Los Sevillanos failed to impress in a 2-0 loss to Girona before the international break, but they are still seen as favourites to beat the capital club in front of home fans. Summer signing Saul Niguez has yet to serve his ban, while the likes of Djibril Sow, Albert Lokonga, Loic Bade, Lucas Ocampos, and Suso remain in the treatment room.
Los Azulones, on the other hand, have drawn each of their first three games of the season. Getafe are likely to adopt yet another defence-minded approach in Sunday’s game, but preventing Sevilla from finding the net at Estadio Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan is easier said than done. Experienced forward Borja Mayoral should be the only absentee in the visiting side. In their last encounter in Primera Division Sevilla defeated Getafe 1-0.
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.
