Valladolid hosts Levante in the Spanish Copa del Rey 1/8 finals. The match will be played on Tuesday, January 26th at Estadio José Zorrilla (Valladolid)
Valladolid is at the bottom of the LaLiga standings. But it can be explained by the fact that the team failed the start, as has happened more than once before. However, Pucela eventually managed to get in shape. This is the trainer’s team, and Sergio Gonzalez Soriano shows that he has not run dry yet. After losing 0-2 to Villarreal on November 2, Valladolid lost only three times, and let’s recall that 15 matches were held in various tournaments, including the Copa del Rey. And Pucela has already eliminated three opponents. However, it was frankly lucky with the lot - Cantolagua, Marbella, and Peña Deportiva are very weak teams. Now the hosts will have to face the representative of LaLiga.

Levante generally plays at least at its level. Moreover, the Frogs have lost only twice since the end of October (to Barcelona (0-1) and Villarreal (1-2 on the road). Paco Lopez's charges feel quite confident in the middle of the standings, and they are even not too far from the European Cup zone. But on the other hand, Levante tied in as many as three matches in a row. On Saturday, the Frogs shared points just with Valladolid and issued a 2-2 draw thanks to the goal of their leader, Roher Marty (in the 83rd minute). Before that, there was the same score in the game with Cadiz. And on January 16, in the previous round of the cup, Levante didn’t manage to keep the minimum advantage over Fuenlabrada – it leveled the score in the 68th minute, thanks to a goal from Garces. But thanks to the exploits of the goalkeeper, Dani Cardenas, who plays mainly for the youth team, the Frogs managed to win in a penalty shootout.
In the last 11 head-to-head meetings, Valladolid limited itself to only one victory (at home, in September 2018). Levante managed to win almost half of the matches (five times). But all three last games invariably brought draws. In this pair, a lot depends on what lineups the mentors will field, and whether they will take the match seriously. We recommend betting on a neutral exchange of goals scored.
Prediction for the match: Both teams to score - yes
