Juventud Torremolinos Preview
The Malaga team is 16th in the standings in its category, with 14 points and four points from relegation. Out of 15 games, it won two, tied eight and lost five, scoring 12 goals while allowing 17.
They reached this stage of the Copa del Rey after beating Huesca of LaLiga SmartBank, whom they beat on penalties after a 2-2 draw in the 90 minutes. That victory was achieved at El Pozuelo, the same stadium where they will host Sevilla.
Probable formation (4-4-2): Amador Zarco, José Urbina, Ismael Heredia, Dani, Daniel Lavela, Javi López, Javier Amaya, Fran Castillo, Carlos García, Alexi, Javier Forján.
Sevilla Preview
Sevilla has not had a good first half of the season, with 14 games played and only 11 points, leaving them in the relegation place for the moment (18th in the standings).
For this reason, the board decided to sack their coach, Julen Lopetegui, and hire an old acquaintance, the Argentine Jorge Sampaoli, who took advantage of the stoppage due to the World Cup in Qatar to rehearse a kind of preseason.
It will not be an easy match for Sevilla, as they will be without the presence of players who reached the final in the World Cup, like goalkeeper Yassine Bono, striker Youssef En-Nesyri (both from Morocco), Argentinians Gonzalo Montiel and Marcos Acuña (defenders) and attacking midfielder Alejandro “Papu” Gómez (see below the best moments of final Argentina vs France).
Therefore, it would not be surprising to see some youth players from Sevilla Atlético, the reserve team that shares a division with Juventud Torremolinos, getting minutes in the first team.
Probable lineup (4-2-3-1): Marko Dmitrovic, Jesús Navas, Tamguy Nianzou, Nemanja Gudelj, Karim Rekik, Joan Jordán, Fernando Reges, Óliver Torres, Carlos Álvarez, Ivan Rakitic, Rafa Mir.
JefeBet Prediction
Undoubtedly, it will be a vibrant match, since Juventud Torremolinos has a unique opportunity to take advantage of a very bad moment of a very important Spanish team.
Will Jorge Sampaoli’s arrival be a breath of fresh air to avoid embarrassment in Sevilla? At JefeBet we think so, and that, even if they come with the arrow down, the visiting team should not suffer any major traumas to get the pass to the next round.
Prediction: Sevilla wins 2 to 1.
