Both teams scored 2+ goals in their two prior Copa Del Rey rounds.
Just one of the last 13 visiting sides kept Cartagena from scoring at home.
Valencia found the net in six of their last seven away games.
Five of Valencia boss Pepe Bordalas’ seven H2Hs with Cartagena saw both teams score.
Can Cartagena be stopped?

The hosts come into this match on the back of an amazing away victory at the home of La Liga 2 leaders Almeria. They defied long odds to record that victory, which in turn extended their current unbeaten run to six games, suggesting that this will be no walkover for the visiting top-flight mainstays.

While Cartagena kept back-to-back clean sheets ahead of this game, they have not recorded three straight shutouts since gaining promotion to La Liga 2 and as such, they will likely have a tough time keeping their guests from scoring at least once here.

A welcome distraction for Valencia

After losing last time out, Valencia can turn their attentions from the race for Europe to potential Copa Del Rey glory. They are expected to win here though they look a massive price considering the apparent gulf in class.

This is partly due to the irresistible form of the hosts and Pepe Bordalas’ poor managerial record vs Cartagena (W2, D3, L2). However, they have now won each of their last four away games and scored 12 goals in the process (including ET), suggesting they may well put on a show.

Given the upwards trajectory of both sides, I predict that both sides will score in what could be an entertaining 2-1 victory for the European hopefuls, Valencia.




译文(自动翻译仅供参考):

两支球队在之前的两轮杯赛中都进了2+球。
最后13支客队中只有一支阻止了卡塔赫纳在主场进球。
瓦伦西亚在最近七场客场比赛中有六场进球。
瓦伦西亚主教练佩佩·博尔达拉斯在与卡塔赫纳的7场比赛中，共打进5球，两队都取得了进球。
卡塔赫纳能被阻止吗?

主队是在西甲领头羊阿尔梅里亚主场取得了一场令人惊异的客场胜利后来到这场比赛的。他们打破了胜算不大的局面，取得了这场胜利，也将他们目前的不败纪录延长到了六场，这表明对于来访的顶级球队来说，这不是轻而易举的事。

虽然卡塔赫纳在这场比赛前保持了背对背的零失球，但自从升入西甲之后，他们还从未有过三连败的记录，因此，他们可能很难让他们的客人在这里至少进球一次。

对瓦伦西亚来说，这是一个值得欢迎的消遣

在输掉了上次的比赛后，瓦伦西亚可以把他们的注意力从欧洲之争转向潜在的国王杯的荣誉。他们有望赢得这里，尽管他们看起来是一个巨大的价格考虑到明显的差距。

这在一定程度上是由于东道主不可抗拒的状态和佩佩·博尔达拉斯对阵卡塔赫纳时糟糕的管理记录(W2, D3, L2)。然而，他们在过去的四场客场比赛中都取得了胜利，并在这个过程中打进了12个球(包括ET)，这表明他们很可能会上演一场表演。

考虑到两队的上升轨迹，我预测两队都会进球，这可能是一场有希望的欧洲球队瓦伦西亚2:1的胜利。
