Gernika take on the visitors Celta Vigo in the round 1/32-finals of Spanish Copa del Rey. The match will be played on Thursday, December 22st at Urbieta Udal Kiroldegia (Gernika).
Guernica does not shine at the level of the semi-amateur division of the country now
Green-Black-White is celebrating its centenary this year. But all this time they spent a maximum at the level of the 3rd division of the country. And since 2019, the team has been hanging even lower, in the 4th league. And even here nothing intelligible stands out. Yes, in 2021 it was possible to win the group, but not to rise higher. Then, last season, the team rolled back to 8th place, and now it is moving closer to the bottom of the current standings. But at the same time, a month ago, in mid-November, the underdog was able to knock out Leganes. There were penalties after the draw side, and it all ended on the unsuccessful 6th hit of the capital club.

Celta will try to save this season. "Galicians" in recent years have played under the leadership of Eduardo Coudet. The Argentinean saved the team after the failure of the season before last. And then, despite a difficult start, I was able to finish the 2021/2022 draw in a fairly comfortable 11th place. It seems that the current season started better. In the first 4 rounds there were 7 points, moreover, they lost only to Real Madrid. And in October, the victory over Betis was added. But then there was only 1 draw with 5 defeats and a fall into the relegation zone. As a result, the mentor was replaced rather expectedly - Carlos Carvalhal was called to the coaching post. The Portuguese started with a goalless draw against Rayo Vallecano - already a success. Then they were 6-1 at all, but in the cup with a modest opponent. Then there was a pause for more than a month - it will be interesting to see how the coaching staff used it.
The humble Guernica has never played against Celta before. Guernica are simply weak, so I don't believe in her chances to continue fighting in the cup. We recommend betting on Celta with a handicap of "-1.5 goals".
Prediction for the match: Celta Vigo to win with -1.5 handicap.
