Fundacion Tenerife Preview
Nobody expected Fundación CD Tenerife to reach this stage. A very humble club that defeated Castellón 5-1 in the first round, Deportivo on penalties in the second round (after a 0-0 draw in the 90 minutes) and Eibar 2-1 in the third round.
Ivo Jiménez’s team is living a dream Copa de la Reina, and not for less, given that it is a semi-professional club of the Primera División Nacional, the only representative of that category in this round of 16.
Probable lineup (4-1-4-1): Sara Niz Gutierrez; Emma Poletto Pino, Estela Jaramillo, Aida Fanals and Marina Puebla; Paola Hernández Martín; María Ramos Rosa, Beatriz Fleitas, Mara and Iratxe Gonzalez; and Xisela Nuñez.
UDG Tenerife Preview
On the other side will be UDG Tenerife, which is 10th in Liga F, Spain’s top Women Soccer league, with 14 points. Of the last five matches in this competition, they won only one, lost one and drew three. Their last game against Atlético Madrid ended up in a draw by a score of 1-1.
This will be their debut in the Copa de la Reina, and it is not expected to be an easy match. If they want to repeat the good performance of last year’s edition (they lost 1-0 to Sporting de Huelva in the semifinals), they will have to beat an opponent that will be going all out for perhaps the most important 90 minutes of their lives, in a derby that nobody expected.
Probable lineup (4-3-3): Noelia Ramos; Clau, Andrea Marrero Avero, Patri and Pisco; Claire Falknor, Paola Hernández and Yerliane Moreno; Ange N’Guessan, Gift Monday and Jassina Blom.
JefeBet Prediction
The Cinderella of the tournament, Fundación Tenerife, has the most important game in its history ahead of it, against none other than a team from its city. He has already shown that he knows how to play against heavier opponents, and since this is soccer, anything can happen in 90 minutes.
For this reason, at JefeBet we believe that they will be the great surprise of the tournament and defeat Tenerife, generating a real shock also in the odds.
Prediction: Fundación Tenerife wins on penalties.
