In a return match Villarreal will meet Valencia after a 0:0 in the first games.
In the league table, Villarreal are currently 3rd with 36 points in 17 games, achieving a record of W11 D3 L3. The team won the last 5 out of 6 games in all competitions. Villarreal already met Valencia here few months ago in a game in Primera Division which ended 1:1.
Valencia are currently 4th with 31 points in 17 games, record of W9 D4 L4. Valencia has won only two of the last six games in all competitions.
This is the current shape of both teams, which seems pretty similar. However usually the games for the Copa Del Rey differ greatly from the league games. The last time Valencia has been here for a game in the Spanish Cup, they have won with 2:0. Since then, Valencia has lost 3 and tied 1 of the last 4 games here. Valencia’s record here since 1999 reads W3 D4 L9.

Ten out of the 14 games since 1999 have ended Under 2.5 Goals. The bet for this game is priced at 1.85.
Two games in two months both ended draw, makes me wonder if this game can end differently. I am expecting both teams to pay more attention in defense, hoping to keep the score as it is. The draw is priced at 3.40 and seems like a good choice for this game. Villarreal are priced to win this game at 2.10, while Valencia is priced at 3.40 which is as much as the draw. Obviously the bookmakers expect something to cut off the away victory like that, but they are unsure if it’s going to happen.
