Gimnastic take on the visitors Osasuna in the round of 1/16-finals of Copa del Rey. The match will be played on Thursday, January 5th at Nou Estadi de Tarragona (Tarragona).
Gimnastic would hardly have been known to anyone outside the country. All that was in the asset was 3 seasons in a row that we managed to spend from 1947 to 1950. And only La Liga fans with good experience can remember that this team wandered to such a level in 2006. However, a year later there was relegation from the last place. Moreover, at the moment, the “pomegranate” are holding for the 4th year in a row at the level of Segunda-B. And by the way, now this one is also not the leader of his group, although the statistics are not bad. But at the same time, the team is successful in the Cope del Rey. If at first the opponent was the modest “Racing Rioja”, which they beat 2-0 on the road, then they dealt with the more status (albeit going through hard times) “Malaga”. The decisive goal was scored by Fernandez in the 81st minute - he secured the final 2-1 over the “anchovies”.

Osasuna quite often played in the LaLiga before. It looks like the Reds were able to reach a new level already in this tempo. The starting segment of 14 matches ended up with half wins and 23 points – in the European Cup zone, moreover, at a minimum distance from the Champions League quartet. True, after the resumption of the draw, Real Sociedad put both a modest team and its fans, beating them 2-0 - as a result, they immediately rolled back to 9th place, now the La Liga table has an extremely high density. In parallel, Osasuna also played in the cup. True, there the opponents were already very simple - well, who has heard of “Fuentes” or “Arnedo”? However, “Gimnastic” does not belong to the top teams either.
In the last 4 head-to-head fights, the parties exchanged victories. But that was in 2018-2019 when the clubs played together at Segunda level. Osasuna can shift the foxus from the LaLiga to the cup and already there to compete for the realization of their ambitions. At least, they should cope with a modest opponent from Terragona - we bet that tomorrow's match will end with the victory of Osasuna with a handicap of “-1 goal scored”.
Prediction for the match: Osasuna to win with -1.0 handicap.
