Sevilla vs Hercules Match Preview
Sunday's late game features Hercules visiting Andalosia to take on Sevilla. Esteban Vigo's Hercules wants to put salt on Sevilla's wounds, as Oporto's victory earlier this week left Sevilla at the brink of European elimination. Sevilla's goalkeeper Antonio Palop won't be able to perform, making way for Javi Varas to guard the posts.
Hercules' confidence is shattered, and they know feeding on Palanganas's blood is essential to fight back to retain the category. Dutch international Royston Drenthe, Paraguayan Nelson Haedo Valdez and Paco Peña are sidelined due to injuries, and it won't be easy to celebrate their second victory away this season at the Sanchez Pizjuan.
David Trezeguet should take advantage of this opportunity to recover his place among the starting eleven. Kiko Femenia, Tote and Olivier Thomert will be assisting the French international on the attack while Abel Aguilar and Farinos occupy the center of the midfield, responsible for neutralizing Sevilla's midfielders from creating scoring opportunities.
Jesus Navas', Luis Fabiano's and Antonio Negredo's sheer efficiency can turn this visit to the Sanchez Pizjuan into a nightmare for Hercules. Currently occupying the 8th position with 31 points, a victory is mandatory for Sevilla to stay alive in the fight for the last European qualifying place. Are they ready to send Hercules back home empty-handed.
