Interesting game is what awaits us this Thursday at the Estadio Ramón de Carranza, when the round of the round of 16 of the Spanish King’s Cup, the cast of Cádiz FC receives the visit of a motivated Espanyol.
Cádiz CF:
After a rather irregular start to the season, things have been changing for those led by Alvaro and so last weekend added an important victory by 1-2 in his visit to Lugo and Cadiz added a streak of three games without losing and here we include the 0-1 victory in his visit to Zaragoza for the previous round of the Copa del Rey.
At this time Cadiz, who already had his way through the elite division of Spanish football and knows what it is to play against teams with history, occupies the 19th box of the Second Division with 11 points in the same amount of games, and so they are We are in a zone of direct descent, but we trust that the squad they have can change things.
Now is the time to focus on his game for Copa del Rey, where he has for the moment taken teams with a lot of history in Spanish football, since he first left on the road to Tenerife after beating him 1-2 and then against Zaragoza. also as a visitor and now at home aims to give Espanyol a fight and in this way match what was done in the previous edition of the Copa del Rey where he was eliminated from the round of 16 by Sevilla when losing both games.
Espanyol :
On the other hand, those directed by Joan Francesc Ferrer “Rubí” are one of the protagonists of the current season in the League of Spain. Thus the Barcelona team comes from getting a good one goal draw in their visit to Valladolid and in this way they added a run of five games without losing and thus reach the fifth box with 18 points, three points less than the leader Barcelona and so on is placed in the international competition classification zone.
Recall that Espanyol in the season was close to get into UEFA competition but lost strength in the final straight and now with the support of its defense that is the second least beaten of what the competition is not willing to leave the high zone of the classification.
But now it’s time to focus on the Copa del Rey, where in the previous edition he was eliminated in the quarterfinals when he fell to Barcelona, in a series that began with a 1-0 win at home and then at the Camp Nou fell 2 -0.
In terms of direct confrontations, these teams played four games during 2005/06, at the time when Cádiz had a brief stint in the First Division of the Spanish League, at that time Cádiz won both games of the League both by 2-0 scoreboards; while the other two games were for the quarterfinals of the Copa del Rey and the triumph of both games was for Espanyol also 2-0 by double.
