Valencia vs Zaragoza Prediction & Betting tips
Thanks to a 0-2 victory in the first leg, Valencia is almost certain of a spot in the eighth finals of the Copa del Rey. Second division Real Zaragoza seems to have already given up the battle, although the Spanish cup tournament regularly yields surprises.
Valencia :
You will not have failed to notice that Valencia is doing great this season. The club from the orange city currently occupies second place in the Primera Division and last weekend managed to keep front runner FC Barcelona on a 1-1 tie. There was indeed a lot of luck, but that does not detract from the excellent start of coach Marcelino, who holds sway in the Mestalla since the summer.
Marcelino was honest this week and admitted that he would prefer to finish in the top four of the Primera Division this season than to win the Spanish Cup. Understandable, because the Champions League is for every club of course the holy grail. On the other hand, the Copa del Rey is the only realistic chance of a top prize, assuming FC Barcelona does not suddenly fall apart. Valencia defends a 0-2 lead from the first leg in the return against Real Zaragoza on Thursday-evening and is almost certain of a spot in the next round. Marcelino has not yet announced his match selection, but it is obvious that, just like in the first leg, he will give his regular base players rest and put the second set at work. However, do not forget that Los Che with players like Toni Lato, Jaume Domenech, Santi Mina and Andreas Pereira have a good spare bank. Playmaker Fabian Orellana is no longer there, because the Chilean was let this week to Eibar.
Zaragoza :
The season of Real Zaragoza is a lot less energetic. The second division wants to go back to the highest level, but in the Segunda Division for the time being no further than a meager fourteenth place. From her last five league matches, only one win.
Also in the Copa del Rey Real Zaragoza after the 0-2 defeat of last month for its own public on the verge of elimination. Trainer Natxo Gonzalez seems to have already resigned himself to the upcoming elimination, as he has already announced that the competition has priority and that the basic eleven on Thursday-evening will mainly consist of players who have not played very much this season. Sports newspaper Marca counts on base places for players like Alvaro Raton, Raul Guti, Dani Lasure and Vinicius Araujo. The latter is in any case motivated to the bone. The Brazilian striker defended the colors of Valencia in the past, but never managed to score in the Mestalla. He therefore has to settle an account on Thursday evening.
