Cultural Leonesa hosts Valencia in the Spanish Copa del Rey 1/8 finals. The match will be played on Wednesday, January 29th at Estadio Reino de León (León)
The representative of Segunda B, Cultural Leonesa, is in the group of leaders in its division, but they fight mainly with the reserve squads of LaLiga teams and modest low-budget weaklings. Leonesa scored 42 points in 22 matches and scored 38 times, having conceded only 18 goals. The squad is composed mainly of Spanish football players whose game level does not allow them to play even in the second Spanish league. As for the upcoming match with Valencia, the home team has absolutely no chance - the only question is how many goals Leonesa will concede.

The Bats managed to beat Catalan Barcelona with a similar handicap in the last home round, so what can we say about Leonesa? The team headed by Albert Celades looks solid in the championship, being in a group of teams pursuing leaders. Valencia lags behind third place by only four points, and everything is quite good in the Euro cups. Valencia will play against Atalanta in the playoffs, and this is far from the most formidable of potential rivals. In the last Cup match, the Bats beat Logrones by winning with minimal margin, but today the story is unlikely to repeat. All the same, access to the quarterfinals is at stake, and it is simply not permissible for the men of Celades to miss the chance with the team from Segunda B.
The hosts score a lot in their league, but as soon as Leonesa meets with a team that is a priori stronger, there is a zero in the scored goals. Valencia plays attacking football, and it will surely score. Most likely, it will score more than one goal. The hosts have absolutely nothing to offer the bats, and they are likely to concede 2-3 goals. My choice is the victory of Valencia with a -1.5 handicap.
Prediction for the match: Valencia to win with -1.5 handicap
