Copa Del Rey tonight brings Guijuelo, a team from the lower leagues, hosting Sporting Gijón, a team from La Liga 2. Cup games like this are usually decided by who can settle first, because the other side has the better overall quality, but a single match also gives the home side a chance to draw. Guijuelo are in their best form of this period, on a winning run in their own league, with the latest match a 1-0 win and before that a 5-1 thrashing. Sporting Gijón, meanwhile, just finished with a 0-4 loss in the league, and it was their first consecutive defeat after previously putting together a winning run of their own. So the two teams are not as far apart as their reputations suggest. This game is likely to play out with the home side mainly defending and waiting for counter-attacking chances, while Sporting Gijón must control the game and find a way to break through first. The first half may still be tense, but the second half should open up more as both teams have to push the pace.
