Copa Del Rey brings Ribadesella up against Racing Santander in a game where the two teams arrive from clearly opposite directions. Ribadesella come into this one unbeaten in this competition, while Racing Santander won their most recent league match after a run of poor results before that. Ribadesella are not looking to go out and score a lot, but their two cup matches so far show they defend as a compact block and refuse to open the game up easily. As for Racing Santander, although they are superior by league level, their own league form has not been pretty either: they have scored 15 but conceded 26 in 10 matches, and in their last five games none was won by a four-goal margin. A leaky defence is the condition that makes this kind of cup game not as easy as their standing suggests. If Ribadesella keep playing tight as in the past two matches and do not leave gaps for Racing Santander to run into from the start, the game should drag on and finish with a small margin, which is the direction that keeps this match worth following until the final minute.
