NextGOAL tip: Tavernes -0.25 · 2 stars
Copa Del Rey tonight, Tavernes host Maracena at home. Both teams come from the Spain Regional League, but from different groups, so there are no points or standings in the same table to compare. A one-off cup game like this leaves little to think about beyond who is more ready today. Tavernes have just drawn 1-1 at home in the same cup competition, and before that won 2-1 in the league. Maracena also drew 1-1 in the same cup round and are unbeaten in 5 straight matches. So both come in in fairly similar shape, but their styles are clearly different. Maracena average 58.86% possession in their last 10 matches across all venues, comfortably higher than Tavernes at around 44.43%. Meanwhile Tavernes have 3.83 shots on target per game from 6 matches and concede 4.14 shots on target per game from 7 matches, reflecting a team that waits for its moments. If Tavernes score first from a counter-attack or a set piece, the game is likely to see them drop even deeper and let Maracena have the ball before looking for chances to counter, which is the home side's job: to score first so the game does not drag on into the late stages where Maracena score often.
