Navalcarnero hosts Granada CF in the Spanish Copa del Rey 1/8 finals. The match will be played on Thursday, January 28th at Estadio Municipal Mariano Gonzalez (Navalcarnero)
Navalcarnero celebrates an anniversary this year - this team was founded in 1961. But, of course, this representative of Madrid is in the thick shadow of its neighbors. Only in the late 80s did he manage to rise at least to the level of Tercera (the fourth division). After that, the club alternates between this league and the higher Segunda-B (although it did not manage to avoid lower divisions over these decades). Last season, Navalcarnero was relegated to Tercera again but immediately returned from there. And now the Red-Whites are quite good in their group (higher than the reserve teams of Real Madrid and Atletico). However, the outsider has already eliminated three opponents in the cup. The matches with Badajoz and Las Palmas ended in 1-0 victories, but Navalcarnero managed to beat Eibar more confidently, with a 3-1 score.

Having returned to LaLiga in the previous season, Granada immediately climbed to 7th place. This provided the Nasrids with a ticket to the European Cup. And despite being busy in the Europa League, where the Spaniards looked quite decent at the group stage, they managed to keep at the same level in the local arena for a long time. But there were also some declines in LaLiga. It seems that the charges of Diego Martinez Penas are experiencing one of these right now. In the last five rounds, Granada gained only one victory over Osasuna and suffered three defeats. And on Sunday, the crisis Pamplonians took revenge and won 3-1 at home. However, it did not prevent the Nasrids from going through the previous rounds of the Copa del Rey. They successively beat San Juan, Cultural Leonesa, and Malaga away. Moreover, Granada scored two goals against each of these three teams (by the way, obviously weaker ones).
Navalcarnero never climbed even to the level of the Segunda, so it has no experience of playing with Granada. The clubs were constantly in different divisions, and they will cross their paths in the cup for the first time in their history. Granada may not be in top shape, but it is significantly stronger than the underdog. We will bet on the victory of the Nasrids with a -1 handicap.
Prediction for the match: Granada CF to win with -1.0 handicap
