Prediction: 0-2
Villarreal
Estadio Municipal Los Arcos will host Saturday’s Copa del Rey game between Orihuela and Villarreal. Orihuela defeated Cornella on penalties in their opener, but they face an uphill in round 2 against the La Liga side. The Segunda B team are likely to adopt a defence-minded approach in the Copa del Rey game, but preventing Villarreal attackers from scoring is easier said than done.
The Yellow Submarine came from behind to beat Real Sociedad on the road in their last league match, which is yet another reason why we are tempted to put our money on the visitors. A man to keep an eye on in the away team will be Carlos Bacca, who scored a hat-trick in Villarreal’s opener against Comillas. It has to be noted that the two teams meet for the first time ever in a competitive match.
