Coria Preview
Club Deportivo Coria played its last game on November 12 and will undoubtedly find it difficult to get up to speed with so much time since its last match. They reached this stage of the Copa del Rey after beating Fuenlabrada 2-0.
Although they had a difficult start to the season, they managed to reverse an adverse streak and are currently in seventh place in their league.
Probable lineup (4-3-3): Diego Tornavacas, Miguel Ángel García Cera, Pedro Pérez Román, Asiel Mateo, José Ramón de Diego Martín, Sergio Gómez Fernández, Deco, Alejandro Hernández Mendoza, Alberto Ruiz, Santi Luque, Traver.
Real Sociedad Preview
Real Sociedad’s first half of the season has been brilliant, which is why they are in third place in the standings with 26 points, 9 behind Real Madrid and 11 behind leaders Barcelona.
They reached this stage of the Copa del Rey after beating Cazalegas 4-1, and their last match was a friendly against Leeds of England, against whom they lost 2-1.
Ahead of the clash against Coria, there are many absentees due to injury: Álex Sola, Ander Barranetxea, Carlos Fernández, Mikel Oyarzabal, Beñat Turrientes, Sadiq Umar and Mikel Merino, their main star player. Thus, their coach, Imanol Alguacil, will have a hard time fielding 11 players to face a team that will come out with high spirits, as is usually the case with lower-ranked teams in this type of competition.
Possible lineup (5-3-2): Álex Remiro, Antoni Gorosabel, Igor Zubeldía, Robin Le Normand, Jon Pacheco, Under Martín, Martín Zubimendi, Brais Méndez, Silva, Momo Cho, Robert Navarro.
JefeBet Prediction
It seems easy to predict a winner when there is so much difference between the teams. However, it is only 90 minutes and anything can happen, given that for Coria to eliminate one of the best teams in LaLiga would be like touching the sky with their hands.
Nonetheless, and although they have many casualties, Real Sociedad’s substitutes will not want to waste their chance, and that is why at JefeBet we believe that they will end up winning.
Prediction: Real Sociedad wins 3-1.
