Cultural Leonesa vs Valencia
Cultural Leonesa received a rare opportunity in the last 16 of the Copa del Rey against Valencia. Guests from La Liga are scheduled to be entertained at the Estadio Reino de Leon.
Cultural Leonesa has just received a disaster in the Segunda B Division competition due to losing 1-0 at home to Atl Bilbao. The results of the visit on Sunday (1/26) also forced them down to rank 3 in the standings, replaced by the host with just goal difference on 22 jornada.
Meanwhile, Valencia had competed the day before against Barcelona. The match against the leaders of La Liga was successfully secured by a score of 2-0 through brace Maximiliano Gomez Gonzalez (48 ‘, 77’). This victory also pushed Los Che to number 7 with a difference of two numbers from the three participants on it.
Therefore, Valencia was asked to be able to maintain concentration. The reason is, their away charts have continued to decline since wins over Levante (2-4) and Ajax (0-1) at UCL, then draw with Real Valladolid (1-1), then beat Mallorca (4-1). In fact, Cultural Leonesa has never lost as a host since August, precisely with 7 wins and 3 draws.
In other words, a visit to Reino de Leon midweek will be a test of consistency for Valencia. The consistent graphic of the hosts certainly makes any team worry, including Valencia, even though they are still featured as representatives of La Liga. Therefore, the victory over Barcelona will be used to maintain the morale of players, especially if this will be the first visit to Leon. It’s likely the game will run tight!
