Levante take on the visitors Getafe in the round of 1/16-finals of Spanish Copa del Rey. The match will be played on Tuesday, January 3rd at Estadi Ciutat de València (Valencia).
Levante are clearly thinking more about the fight for a return to La Liga. The Frogs managed to gain only 35 points in the last La Liga season, which was not enough for anything more than penultimate place. But obviously, this team does not intend to get stuck in the Segunda. True, so far it is impossible to say that it turns out to win this dispute, the competition is extremely dense. Is it worth it to spend energy on the Copa del Rey in such circumstances? On the other hand, December ended just with a 2-1 cup win at home against Andorra. Again, the confrontation will be in the same arena.

Getafe are struggling without Pepe Bordalas. Azulones with that mentor were a thunderstorm of authorities. And even made some noise in the Europa League. But the coach left before the start of last season, and this backfired with a sharp drop. Quique Sanchez Flores, who returned to this post, was able to collect 39 points - this was still enough to survive last season in elite. Now the results are about the same. During the summer-autumn period, in 14 matches, it turned out to score 14 points (3 wins and 5 draws). After the break, there was a clash with Mallorca, whom the visiting side managed to beat confidently at home, 2-0. And a little earlier, Getafe was able to deal with the modest Diosesano.
Getafe has not lost three times in a row. Moreover, 4 points taken with the "frogs" in the last championship, in many ways helped the Azulones to stay in the LaLiga for this season. Bookmakers consider Levante the favorite of this confrontation. But it’s not a fact that he has a special motivation for the cup, and Getafe doesn’t play spectacularly on the road by default. We bet on "total under 2.5 goals".
Prediction for the match: Under 2.5 scored goals.
