Two Nigerian football stars, Kelechi Iheanacho and Chidera Ejuke, are expected to showcase their skills as they feature in the highly anticipated La Liga clash between Las Palmas and Sevilla.
The exciting match will be broadcast live on StarTimes, a platform that offers all 380 La Liga games on its Sports Premium channel and select matches on Sports Life. Fans can also enjoy all the games for just N600 weekly through the StarTimes-ON app.
Both Iheanacho and Ejuke aim to bounce back from disappointing seasons and make a significant impact in La Liga with Sevilla.
Iheanacho, particularly, has struggled to replicate his impressive form from the 2020/21 season, during which he scored 12 league goals for Leicester City.
Similarly, Ejuke has faced challenges in finding consistency, failing to score more than five league goals in any of his last four seasons across multiple clubs.
Las Palmas, now managed by Garcia Pimienta, seeks a strong start in the new season after securing safety last year. The encounter against his former club adds an extra layer of excitement to the game.
Despite their struggles away from home in the previous season, Sevilla managed to secure a victory against Las Palmas, indicating their potential for success.
Manager Pimienta has hinted at a potent attacking trio involving Iheanacho, Isaac, and Peque. “I’m not confirming the starting lineup, but we are considering playing Iheanacho and Isaac together,” he stated. “Their ideal positions are upfront, and we’re working on a system to accommodate both of them.”
In another exciting La Liga fixture today, Celta Vigo will face Alaves, with live coverage available on StarTimes.
Both teams finished the previous season with a five-point gap, with Alaves securing the 10th position and Celta Vigo in the 13th spot.
