Prediction: 1-2
Celta Vigo
Estadio La Planilla will host Thursday’s Copa del Rey game between Pena Azagresa and Celta Vigo. Os Celeste aim to kick off their Spanish Cup campaign in style, and we are positive that they will go all guns blazing at the Tercera Division side. The Galicians dropped two points in a 2-2 draw with ten-man Mallorca at the weekend, meaning that they are eager to give fans something to cheer about.
Celta Vigo aim to make amends for their slow start to the new La Liga campaign, which is yet another reason why away win should be considered. Pena Azagresa, on the other hand, have been struggling in the league this season, and we do not believe that they are capable of claiming a major scalp in the Copa del Rey round 1. It has to be noted that the two teams meet for the first time ever in the Spanish Cup.
