Our prediction for this Copa del Rey match:
After eliminating Las Palmas in last 64, La Nucia will look to claim yet another major scalp in Copa del Rey when they face Valencia at Estadi Olimpic Camilo Cano La Nucia. Ferrando’s troops are likely to adopt a defence-minded approach in Tuesday’s clash, but preventing Valencia attackers from scoring is easier said than done. Midfielder Ruben Saiz is banned for the match.
Los Che, on the other hand, aim to recover from the La Liga loss to Villarreal, and they will not have a better chance than this to get back on course. Since Valencia have slim chances of securing a spot in European competitions through La Liga, we are positive that they will take this Copa del Rey game seriously. A man to watch in the away side will be Edinson Cavani, who scored in the defeat to Villarreal, while goalkeeper Jaume Domenech remains on the sidelines with injury.
Highlighted Player (Edinson Cavani):
Edinson Cavani is a professional footballer who plays for Paris Saint-Germain as a striker. The Uruguayan attacker was born in Salto on 14 February, 1987 and he began his senior career at Danubio. In 2007 he moved to Europe, signing a deal with Serie A outfit Palermo.
After scoring 34 goals in 109 league appearances for the Sicilian outfit, he joined Napoli in 2010. You should have in mind that Cavani scored a brace on his Napoli debut against Elfsborg in the Europa League. The Uruguay forward scored 78 goals in 104 Serie A games for the Partenopei and, as a result, big-spending French club PSG decided to sign him in 2013.
Cavani scored 19 goals for les Parisiens in the 2015/2016 Ligue 1 campaign, but he was in Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s shadow during the season and he started a number of games from the bench. In 2011 the PSG attacker won the Copa America trophy with Uruguay as la Celeste hammered Paraguay 3-0 in the game for the title.
