Copa del Rey
Pontevedra is in the fourth level of Spanish football, but dreams of reaching the quarterfinals of the cup tournament. There is definitely a reason for this, after in the previous round they eliminated another Spanish team, beating Mallorca 3-0 at home. They are at the top of their championship standings, and have now gone 15 consecutive matches in all competitions without a loss (12 wins and 3 draws).
Getafe has gone through penalty shootouts in the previous two rounds of the tournament. They eliminated Granada and Orihuela, with both matches ending in goalless draws and then securing victories through penalties. Getafe's low-scoring matches this season are seriously dominant. On Saturday, they recorded their first away win in La Liga with a 2-1 victory over Las Palmas, which was only the second match for Getafe with over 2.5 goals this season in the league.
Prediction: Under 2.5 goals, 1X double chanceAlthough at a lower level, Pontevedra is demonstrating excellent form, as shown in the elimination of Mallorca. This season, Getafe can be said to be definitely weaker than Mallorca, having had to go through penalties twice already to reach the round of 16. I expect difficulties for the visitors here as well, and perhaps another match with under 2.5 goals.
