Valencia’s Umar Sadiq Hopes to Score Again Against Sevilla
Valencia striker Umar Sadiq is hoping to score for the third time against Sevilla when both teams meet in a crucial La Liga match at Mestalla this Friday.
The Nigerian forward has previously found the net against Sevilla while playing for Almería and Real Sociedad. Now at Valencia, Sadiq will be looking to continue his fine record against the Andalusian side, who are having a difficult season.
Sevilla have struggled for consistency under their manager García Pimienta, and they’ll need to watch out for Sadiq, who has been in good form this season.
The 27-year-old has already scored four goals for Valencia, including important strikes against Villarreal, Osasuna, and Valladolid. Known for his strength and sharp finishing, Sadiq is a constant threat in attack.
Although there are some doubts about whether he will start — with Hugo Duro returning to fitness after scoring the winner against Real Madrid — Sadiq still remains a strong option for Valencia’s attack.
Sevilla will need to be fully focused if they want to stop the Nigerian from scoring a third goal against them.
With both clubs in need of points, Sadiq’s goal chase adds more excitement to this must-win match.
