Prediction: 1-1
Osasuna
Estadio de los Juegos Mediterraneos will host the Copa del Rey game between Almeria and Osasuna. The Segunda Division side rolled over Alaves 5-0 in the previous round, and they are eager to claim yet another major scalp. Almeria are determined to secure promotion to La Liga, but they have big ambitions for the Spanish Cup as well. A man to keep an eye on in the home team will be Umar Sadiq, who has been scoring goals for fun ever since he joined the club in the summer transfer window.
Los Rojillos, on the other hand, proved their worth in the La Liga win over Granada. Osasuna have been showing signs of improvement of late, and they are surely capable of holding Almeria to a draw in 90 minutes. Almeria defenders should have Croatian attacker Ante Budimir, who has been in a splendid form of late.
