Three Nigerian players, Chidera Ejuke, Akor Adams, and Chrisantus Uche, will be in action today as Sevilla host Getafe in the final fixture of La Liga’s second matchday at the Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán Stadium, writes Nigeriasoccernet.com.
Sevilla will be banking on Ejuke and Adams to help them secure their first points of the season after a 3-2 defeat to Athletic Bilbao last week. Ejuke, who joined last summer, already has two goals and an assist since his move, while Adams, who arrived in January, is still seeking his first goal but contributed an assist in the opening game.
On the other hand, Getafe’s Uche made an instant impact in their season opener, scoring and assisting in a 2-0 victory over Celta Vigo. The 22-year-old midfielder, who registered four goals and six assists last season, has been linked with a transfer due to Getafe’s financial situation.
Despite the uncertainty around Uche’s future, manager José Bordalás will push his side to build on their strong away form. Having won eight of their last 12 away league matches, Getafe are aiming to start a La Liga season with back-to-back wins for only the second time in their history.
