Our prediction for this Copa del Rey match:
Real Avila will look to claim a major scalp in the Copa del Rey last 64 when they take on Real Valladolid on Tuesday evening. The Segunda B side did well to shock Real Oviedo in the previous round, but they do not want to stop now. You should know that Real Avila are after their fourth consecutive clean sheet in all competitions.
La Pucela, on the other hand, aim to recover from a heavy 5-0 loss to Atletico Madrid. Real Valladolid have big ambitions for the 2024/2025 Copa del Rey campaign and we predict that they are going to break Real Avila’s solid defence. Morocco international Selim Amallah limped off with injury in the last league match, with Stanko Juric likely to step up. There are no other injury worries in the visiting team ahead of the trip to Avila.
Highlighted Team (Valladolid):
Real Valladolid is a Spanish club based in Valladolid, the part of the autonomous community of Castille and Leon.
