Almeria vs Sevilla Prediction & Betting tips
The Copa del Rey is nearing its denouement, when Almeria and Seville face each other on Tuesday evening in the quarter-finals of the Spanish cup tournament. In recent years, Sevilla has proven to be a real cup fighter, especially in Europe, but second division Almeria already managed to eliminate two LaLiga clubs with Alaves and Osasuna.
Almeria:
After relegation in 2015, Almeria is in its sixth consecutive season in the Segunda Division, but if you think La Union is a small club, you are wrong. The Andalusians have been in Saudi Arabian hands for a year and a half, so trainer Jose Gomes has access to nice player material. The red and white are currently in third place, so they are in the race for promotion to LaLiga. They are also the only non-LaLiga club that can still dream of cup success in the Copa del Rey.
Yet Almeria’s priorities do not lie with the Copa del Rey. Reach or promote the semi-finals of the cup tournament? Get promoted, ‘Gomes was clear last weekend after the 3-1 victory over Castellon. ‘The focus is on the competition, we regard every match as a final.’ The chances are therefore that the home team will rotate, as it did in the previous round against Osasuna (0-0, win after penalties). Club top scorer Umar Sadiq, who you may remember from his period at NAC Breda, will most likely get some rest.
Sevilla:
Sevilla is of course the sky-high favorite on Tuesday evening to join the last four of the Copa del Rey. In recent years, the Andalusians have caused a furore in the Europa League, which they managed to win six times. Los Nerviones also did well in the national cup tournament with tournament winnings in 2007 and 2010 and finals in 2016 and 2018.
Yet Unai Emery, like his colleague Gomes, is not exactly waiting for this cup meeting. With a third place in LaLiga, Sevilla is fully engaged in a fierce battle for Champions League qualification, while the diptych against Borussia Dortmund will soon be in the eighth finals of the Champions League. Emery will not want to burden his players unnecessarily, so you can be poisoned that, just like in the previous cup rounds, he will be calling on his reserves again next Tuesday. However, this offers prospects for old acquaintances such as Karim Rekik and Luuk de Jong, who have fallen into second place in Sanchez Pizjuan.
