Gijon vs Valencia Prediction & Betting tips
The Spanish Copa del Rey has not yet delivered any big surprises, as seven of the eight quarter finalists are active in La Liga. Sporting Gijon takes the only remaining second division against Valencia, which is in heavy weather.
Sporting Gijon:
Sporting Gijon is a big name in Spanish football. In the 80s and 90s of the last century, the team even regularly entered Europe. In recent years, however, the redweeds have mainly been on the second level. With a provisional tenth place in the Segunda Division, this season promotion to the highest level seems to be another difficult story.
Still, Sporting Gijon has not given up the hope of promotion yet, so it’s likely that coach Jose Alberto Lopez will bring a bred B-team into the line just like in the previous cup matches against Numancia, Rayo Majadahonda and Eibar. Los Rojiblancos remain a team to keep in mind, because they are very strong this season, especially in their own Molinon. Until last weekend, the team was unbeaten in-house this season.
Valencia:
Valencia also currently has other things on its mind than the Copa del Rey. The number four of last year this year does not bother at all, and last weekend also visited Alaves with a 2-1 defeat to eat the cheese of the bread. The position of Trainer Marcelino is therefore linked to a thread. He will probably sit on the bench on Tuesday night, but it is very doubtful whether he will be Valencia’s final responsibility one week later. The league game of upcoming Saturday at home against Rayo Vallecano is crucial in that respect.
All in all it is therefore obvious that Marcelino will also kick off his reserves. With players like Toni Lato, Ferran Torres and Lee Kang-In there is a talented generation in the orange city, but of course you can not expect them to take this errant team by the hand.
