Prediction: 2-1
Cadiz
Sporting Gijon play host to Cadiz at their Estadio El Molinon in the Copa del Rey last 16. Los Rojiblancos did well to shock Villarreal 2-1 in the previous round, which is surely giving fans a reason for optimism ahead of the visit of Cadiz. As always, a man to watch in the home team will be Serbia-born Montenegro international Uros Djurdjevic, who found the net in a 2-2 draw with Malaga at the weekend.
The Yellow Submarine, on the other hand, are fully focused on La Liga as their main goal is to secure the elite division survival. Since Cadiz often struggle on the travels, we are going to put our money on the Segunda Division side this time out. Both Anthony Lozano and Jon Ander Garrido are sidelined with injuries, but they should be the only absentees in the away team ahead of the trip to Gijon.
