Pontevedra have already made it a cup run to remember, having successfully negotiated their way to the last 16 for the first time since 1971-72.

They kicked off their Copa del Rey run with a dominant 4-1 win over Segunda Division's Levante, before they stunned top-flight Villarreal with a 1-0 victory in the second round.

The fourth-tier outfit went on to eliminate another La Liga side in their third-round fixture, pulling off a memorable 3-0 victory over 2023-24 Copa del Rey runners-up Mallorca, courtesy of goals from Dalisson, Yelko Pino and Rufo Sanchez.

Pontevedra's success has not been restricted to the Copa del Rey, with Yago Iglesias's side currently sitting top of Segunda Federacion - Group 1, having won 12, drawn four and lost two of their 18 league games this season.

In fact, Sunday's goalless draw against Valladolid Promesas made it 15 straight competitive games without defeat since they lost 1-0 to Marino de Luanco on October 6.

They have also won their last six home matches by a combined 14-3 scoreline, which will give them immense belief for Wednesday's cup clash, with the hosts looking to reach the quarter-finals for the first time since 1966-67.
