Recreativo Huelva vs Osasuna Prediction & Betting tips
In the sixteenth finals of the Copa del Rey, third-class player Recreativo Huelva will be visited by first-class driver Osasuna on Tuesday evening. The home club is in tough weather, but secretly dreams of a cup stunt.
Recreativo Huelva:
Recreativo Huelva is officially the oldest club in Spain, but the prize cabinet of the Andalusians is horribly empty. The most important achievement of El Decano was the lost cup final in the 2002-2003 season. At the time, the blue and white were still active at the highest level, but in the meantime they have sunk to the Segunda B, the Spanish third division. In it, the men of coach Alberto Monteagudo fight against relegation, even though after the 0-1 victory over Talavera they got some air again. However, there is not much to enjoy this season in the Estadio Nuevo Colombino.
Monteagudo said last week that he would like to strengthen his selection during this winter transfer period, but that Recreativo Huelva is very short of cash. A cup match against a big opponent or a successful cup run could bring some extra money into the draw, so it is expected that the home club will play against Fuenlabrada and Hercules with its strongest base eleven on Tuesday night. With only one defeat in the last eight games in all competitions, the team is busy with a nice series, although the level of the Spanish Segunda B is of course not to write home about.
Osasuna:
Osasuna is busy with a great season. The doctoral student only had to win five times in nineteen LaLiga matches, and has a nine point lead over the Spanish relegation zone. The brave Basques, however, have a draw for a draw. Last weekend it was again hit with a bloodless 0-0 against Real Valladolid. It already marked the tenth (!) Draw of this season for the men of coach Jagoba Arrasate.
Nevertheless, Osasuna is doing very well. Because the red shirts do not have to fear relegation for the time being, Arrasate has put together a relatively strong match selection for the cup match on Tuesday evening. Almost all famous names are present, including the Argentinian golden rooster Chimy Avila. However, it is expected that Arrasate will rotate a bit, just like in the previous cup competitions, and will only bring its vedettes in line when the need is there.
