Valencia welcome the visitors Ebro in the Spanish Copa del Rey – 1/16 Finals. The match will be held on Tuesday, December 4th at the Estadio de Mestalla (Valencia).
The first thing we have to say is that the present Valencia can by no means be considered an attacking team that are crowing near the opponent’s woodwork in order to score as many goals as possible. This is true not only about their performance in this year La Liga, wherein they cared to make only eleven goals in thirteen rounds, but in the UEFA Champions League matches as well, where they look quite pragmatic now. Moreover, the Oranges will most likely play with their substitute players (adding two or three regular players to make account) – as they did in the first encounter against Ebro – who have no motivation at all to get tense after the win in Zaragoza with a 2:1 scoreline a month ago.

Speaking of Ebro, this little known team from Segunda B (third division) have already caused some problems to Valencia in the first 1/16 Finals match at home. Surprisingly, they opposed desperately to the eminent visitors who could squeeze their modest opponent yet in the very end of the battle, thus avoiding another deluge of criticism against their side.
We do not expect Valencia, clearly stumbling in the La Liga these days, to be willing to spend extra resources on the useless smashout in the match against the unpretentious opponent.
Prediction for the match: Crotone to win with +3.5 handicap.
