Alcorcon are Segunda representative and advancing for such late stage as quarterfinals is already great result for the team. The visiting side starter their path in the competition in round of 128 and eliminated four opponents already: 1-0 over Getafe, 1-0 over Elche, 1-1 and 2-1 with Espanyol and 0-0 and 2-1 with Cordoba. The team show quite average results in matches on the road, taking only three wins in 15 matches with three draws and nine defeats.
Alaves are undefeated in their recent six head-to-heads against Alcorcon. 2-0 win on the road in the first leg with both goals scored in last five minutes of the match almost guaranteed Alaves the place in the semifinals. This is why we can expect the hosts to avoid forcing things and finish the two-leg matchup with a match without many scored goals.
Prediction for the match: Under 2,5 goals.
