Lleida take on the visitors Real Sociedad at “Camp d’Esports” in the first-leg game of the 1/16 final stage of the Copa del Rey. The match will be played on Thursday, October 26th.
Lleida come up to the Cup battle in a good competitive form. The team hasn’t tasted defeats across four recent clashes in a row, having taken 10 points in them. After 10 rounds played in the Segunda Division B, “Elsdela Terra Ferma” occupies the third place in the standings with 19 points gained and 13-8 goal difference. In the Copa del Rey Lleida have already passed through two stages, having defeated Melilla and Mallorca with the same 1:0 scoreline. Gerard Albadalejo‘s side participated in six matches at its own turf in this season, having earned four triumphs, one draw and single loss.

Real Sociedad not been unbeaten across three latest encounters with impressive scores gained in those matches: 4:4 vs. Betis, 2:0 vs. Alaves and 6:0 vs. Vardar. With eight gameweeks behind, Real Sociedad sit on the ninth position in the elite division table with 13 points taken and 19-17 goal difference. Eusebio Sacristan’s team enters the Copa del Rey in the upcoming clash of the 1/16 final stage. The club earned four victories and two draws with 16-10 goal difference in six away matches of this season.
The upcoming fight will be the first head-to-head between the rivals. I believe that despite playing at its own turf the team from the third division won’t be able to do anything with one of Spain’s representative clubs in the Eurocups which is currently in a good form.
Prediction for the match: Real Sociedad to win with -1.0 Asian handicap.
