Sevilla

Spain

Current form

Sevilla are continuing to fight to maintain their position in La Liga this season, but their inconsistent performances have left them at the bottom of the table. After 18 rounds, the Nervionese have 22 points and are in 14th place. The defense remains the weak link for Garcia Pimienta team - they have already conceded 27 goals, and their own performance is not impressive. In the last round of La Liga, Sevilla lost to Real Madrid 2-4 at home. In the King Cup, the team confidently passed the previous stage, beating Olot away 3-1.

Disqualifications and injuries

Nyland and Ejuke will miss the match through injury, while Nyanzu remains a doubt.

Tip and bets

1.85both will score

Copa del Rey matches are traditionally unpredictable, especially when teams from Primera meet motivated opponents from the lower divisions. In the upcoming match between Almeria and Sevilla, both teams have their strengths and weaknesses, but both clubs will definitely try to show their best in attack. Almeria leaves most opponents no chance at home, regularly delighting fans with effective play.

On the other hand, Sevilla continue to show defensive problems, having already conceded 27 goals in La Liga, which leaves a lot of space for the hosts to operate. At the same time, the visitors have attacking potential - in the last five matches the team scored in four of them. Almeria also conceded in 14 games in 21 Segunda matches, which adds chances for goals for both sides. Given the style of play of the opponents, we believe that both teams will be able to score.

Prediction - both teams to score, odds 1.85

2.1handicap (-1) on Sevilla

Bet on the outcome

Despite Sevilla recent failures in La Liga, the Copa del Rey match against Almeria is a great chance for the Nervionese to redeem themselves in front of their fans. García Pimienta team has all the resources to take control of the game, including thanks to the individual skill of its players and superior class.

In addition, Sevilla have historically been successful in cup matches, and the last round with Olot (3:1) showed that the Red and Whites know how to pick up the pace at the right moment. Almeria is having a great season in Segunda, but against opponents from La Liga the level of resistance increases. Given the difference in experience and class, we expect a confident victory for the visitors, and a difference of two goals seems quite likely.

Forecast - Asian handicap (-1) for Sevilla with odds of 2.10

Bet on total

Sevilla have defensive issues, as their La Liga record shows. This, combined with Almeria ambitious attacking play at home, could lead to a spectacular encounter. We expect plenty of scoring chances and a high-scoring game.

Forecast - total over 2.5 goals with odds of 1.87
