- Competition: Copa Del Rey
- Date: 18.01.2024
- Kickoff: 18:30 UK / 19:30 CET
- Venue: Reina Sofia (Salamanca)
Unionistas, a team from the third-tier of Spanish football, has been performing extraordinarily in the Copa Del Rey, surpassing more renowned teams. They first defeated Gijon, a LaLiga 2 team, comfortably with a 2-0 win at home during the 1/32 finals. They then achieved a significant victory by eliminating Villarreal, one of Spain’s top clubs, in a superior penalty shootout, also at home. This marks their third consecutive home match in the Cup and undeniably their toughest challenge yet. The team, which ranks lower in the RFEF table &— Group 1, is set to face off against one of the top clubs in Spain, Europe, and globally.
In their most recent official games in the Spanish Super Cup, held in Saudi Arabia, Barcelona suffered a decisive 4-1 defeat against Real Madrid. Furthermore, they are increasingly falling behind the LaLiga leaders, Girona and Real Madrid, which could indicate a below-par season for the renowned team. Aside from the Champions League, the Copa Del Rey is the only other competition where Barcelona can potentially excel, having already reached its final.
Unionistas vs Barcelona pick: UNDER 3.5 GOALS
It’s obvious that Barcelona is the clear favorite for this match. However, Unionistas have demonstrated a certain level of skill, particularly on their home field, where they can challenge more formidable teams. Unionistas have managed to secure victories 4 out of the last 5 times at this stadium. Barcelona is entering a crucial part of the season where results matter more, but it’s highly unlikely that Xavi will field his strongest team. This game could potentially be a slower one with a limited number of goals. It’s highly likely that Barcelona will come out on top, but probably with a scoreline of no more than 2 or 3 goals. Opting for under 3.5 total goals seems like a great choice.
Unionistas team news
The collective value of Unionistas players stands approximately at 3.5 million EUR, with none of them valued more than 200-250k EUR. At present, Ivanov from Bulgaria is leading the championship as the top scorer with 4 goals.
