Copa del Rey
Racing Santander is heading to the elite and leads the standings in Segunda. They have generally shown decent form lately. Overall, there have been quite a few goals in their matches. Out of 10 home games this season, there were eight with over 2.5 goals, as well as seven with goals at both ends. This match will also be an opportunity for the Bulgarian goalkeeper Plamen Andreyev. The starting keeper of Santander got injured, and Plamen was in goal on Saturday during the 1:1 draw at home against Leganes. Andreyev is expected to stand in goal again now.
The Villarreal match on Sunday against Levante was postponed. However, the team is having a very good season in the league, where they are on a streak of six consecutive wins. In the previous round of the cup, they definitely underestimated the amateur Antoniano, against whom they drew 1:1 after extra time and managed to eliminate them only after penalties. However, they are unlikely to underestimate the situation now.
Prediction: both teams to scoreSantander is performing well in Segunda, while Villarreal is doing so in La Liga. Still, I think the hosts can put up a fight in this match and at least score a goal. Villarreal has also been involved in quite a few high-scoring matches, and both teams to score seems like a good option for the game.

Racing Santander is performing strongly this season in the second tier of Spanish football, and an interesting challenge for the Copa del Rey is coming up - a home match against Villarreal.
The guests are third in La Liga
Marcelino's team is impressively performing and is flying towards the Champions League zone for next year. However, playing away from home can sometimes be complicated, and strange results can happen in the Cup from time to time, especially for teams that have been surprisingly strong so far. The "Yellow Submarine" is not invulnerable in defense, and Santander has only one loss in 10 matches, and that was away from their stadium, so they will be eager to put on a strong performance here.
Bet on both teams to score and 1X
Let's see if an upset is possible.
