WHERE TO WATCH?
SFC TV
As we continue on with our 3rd stage in the pre-season schedule, we head to Mainz, Germany, where Sevilla takes part in the 2019 version of the Opel Cup. Here we’ll be playing both Everton & Mainz in 60-minute matches (30-min halves).
TEAM NEWS
If there were any suspicions on who might leave, we’ve been given a clearer idea with the squad being trimmed to 27 players. The list is as follows: Vaclík, Javi Díaz, Lucho García, Sergi Gómez, Kjaer, Carriço, Diego Carlos, Kounde, Wöber, Jesús Navas, Corchia, Escudero, Reguilón, Fernando, Gudelj, Jordán, Banega, Óliver Torres, Franco Vázquez, Ocampos, Munir, Pozo, Nolito, Ben Yedder, Dabbur, De Jong & Carlos Fernández.
That leaves a discarded list of: Gnagnon, Aleix Vidal, Arana, Amadou, Roque Mesa, and Sergio Rico, who hasn’t trained all week to due an ocular problem. Cantera players Juanpe, Mena & Lara will also miss the trip.
The only surprise for me there is Gnagnon. Is he on the transfer list? or has he been left out due to his red card against Liverpool? Vamos a ver.
PREDICTION
This will be our first chance to see Gudelj {Goo - DEH - li} play in a Sevilla shirt. And with the format of these matches, we might see all 4 of our strikers play, including recently joined Carlos Fernández. We may also figure out which is our preferred defensive pairing.
I won’t predict a score, but there is a trophy at stake. There can only be one result when Sevilla’s involved.
¡A por ellos!
