Copa del Rey
Ponferradina holds third place in the third level of Spanish football. They managed to win their last three matches without conceding a goal and overall should not be underestimated, as they have been undefeated at home since September. They have eliminated two teams so far in the cup tournament, both times after penalty shootouts.
Real Sociedad has gone six consecutive matches in all competitions without a loss and without conceding a goal. This streak ended just before the break with a 0:2 loss as guests to Celta. However, they remain a much classier team than Ponferradina. In the previous round of the tournament, they only managed to eliminate the lower division team Conquense after extra time with a 1:0 victory, so they should not underestimate their opponent now.
Prediction: Real Sociedad to win and under 3.5 goalsPonferradina hopes to cause an upset at home, but I don't think they will succeed and I expect a victory for the favorite Real Sociedad, but not by a wide margin.
