Our prediction for this Copa del Rey match:
Mirandes and Rayo Vallecano go head to head at Estadio Municipal de Anduva in a highly-anticipated Copa del Rey game. Mirandes did well to beat ten-man Zaragoza in their last La Liga 2 game, with the team escaping the danger zone. Los Rojillos have big ambitions for the 2021/2022 Copa del Rey campaign as well, but they will have a big fish to fry in Wednesday’s clash. All Lopez, Olguin, and Rey are pushing for a start, speaking of the home team.
Los Vallecanos, on the other hand, are enjoying a very successful La Liga campaign, but given their anything but brilliant away record, we believe that punters from all around the globe can find value in betting on draw. All Qasmi, Moreno, Pozo, Nteka, and Catena are rated doubtful for the match as they were tested positive for coronavirus at the weekend. Experienced attacker Radamel Falcao is widely expected to lead the line for the visitors.
Highlighted Player (Radamel Falcao):
Radamel Falcao, nicknamed the “Colombian Tiger”, is considered one of the best players in the history of Colombian football. The 177-cm-tall attacker is well known for his brilliant finishing and his header technique gives him an advantage in aerial battles with opposition defenders.
