El Sadar isn’t amongst the big 5 stadiums we struggle at, but not many visitors manage to leave with 3 points. Even the Big 3 can often attest to that. Athletic Club only managed to stop their 31-match unbeaten run 2 weeks ago. This fortress might as well be another San Mamés.
After a few injury concerns this week, Fernando & Navas make the trip to Pamplona. However, Nolito is the only casualty, while Escudero & Rony Lopes have been left off completely. Ocampos serves the 2nd of his 3-match ban.
Who knows what might happen when you’re up against the golazo machine that is Chimy Ávila. Fortunately, Sevilla boasts one of the league’s best defences, as well as the best away record. It has “tight, scrappy affair” written all over it. Another 1-0 result on the cards?
Im afraid of Ávila as well, feel like he will be shooting with sharp, what other teams have really been lacking to do against us. So we got away with more than we should have.
Obviously hoping we don´t get ourselves into trouble, and show a bit more attacking skill going forward, find those goals and trust the Koundé and Diego Carlos Wall to neutralize Ávila. Vamos mi Sevilla!
That’s a strong line up. I’m happy with that team. There was doubt over the fitness of fernando, navas and Diego Carlos. Good to see them start.
Plus he’s gone with Chicharito and Munir. Good to see them guys get a chance after a while. A different approach to de jong and nolito. Luuk always an option for Julen if he wants a different approach.
