Cultural Leonesa host Athletic Club in this Copa del Rey last-16 clash, aiming to continue their impressive run after eliminating Levante in the previous round. However, we predict a 2-0 away win as key Athletic player Nico Williams is back to the starting XI. The Segunda Division side arrive with a healthy squad and have been competitive at home, scoring 1.17 goals per game and conceding just 1.00. Their xG of 1.30 indicates a decent attacking threat, while their defensive numbers show they can frustrate opponents on their turf. Leonesa’s matches have a high likelihood of goals, with 75% of away games seeing both teams score.
The Basques, despite a mixed La Liga form (1.20 points per game overall), take the Spanish Cup seriously—they boast 24 titles and have already reinstated Nico Williams after his absence in the 0-5 Super Cup thrashing by Barcelona. Their attack has struggled recently, scoring just 0.60 goals per game, but a strong defensive setup with 50% clean sheets gives them a solid platform. Athletic's expected goals of 1.58 suggests they can break down Leonesa if they control possession.
Considering Athletic's superior quality and Cup pedigree, we are tempted to bet on Away Win, alongside Under 3.5 goals and BTTS - No as the Lions are capable of keeping a clean sheet against the Segunda Division sides.
This Copa del Rey match will be played on Tuesday 13 January 2026 at 20:00.
