This Copa Del Rey tie brings Xerez up against Cádiz with both sides having just won, though in different competitions and at different levels. Xerez have just won in their own league 1-0, while Cádiz have just thrashed their opponents in La Liga 2 4-0. Xerez in their own league are not a team that scores freely: 8 games, 5 scored, 6 conceded, so their attack does not rely on ferocity but on staying organised at the back and waiting for the moment. As for Cádiz, though they sit higher, their league form is not exactly glamorous: 11 games, only 2 won, 4 drawn, 5 lost, 14 scored, 14 conceded, and their defence always has gaps to be exploited. The pattern of the game should therefore be Cádiz dominating the ball and pushing forward, while Xerez drop back and wait to counter. If Xerez can set themselves and avoid conceding early, the game will get more grinding and finish with a margin that is not too wide. But if the first goal comes early, the game could open up immediately.
