2538

On Thursday evening, fourth-tier Gernika Club host La Liga outfit Celta Vigo in the second round of the Copa del Rey.

Gernika Club

The home team are currently in seventh place in the Segunda Division RFEF and just a point short of the play-off spots in the fourth tier.

The home team has been in excellent form of late, as they head into this game on the back of a six-game unbeaten run in all competitions, including four wins and two draws in the unbeaten run.

A key reason for Gernika’s recent strong form has been their defensive solidity, as they have conceded just one goal in their last six matches in all competitions.

Gernika have only featured in four matches in the Copa del Rey. They have a mixed record, although they have won just one of their four matches in 90- minutes. The home side needed a penalty shootout to defeat Leganes in the last round after a goalless draw.

Celta Vigo

The visitors head into this game on an inconsistent recent run of form. However, including recent friendly matches, Celta are now four games unbeaten. Before the break for the World Cup, the visitors were struggling for form.

In fact, a 6-1 win at Algar in the first round of this competition ended a seven-game winless run in competitive games for Celta.

The visitors have a recent mixed record in the Copa del Rey but have won just two of their last five games in 90 minutes.

The victory was another high-scoring game for Celta in the Copa del Rey, as five of their previous six games in the competition have produced over 2.5 goals in 90 minutes.

What does Forebet predict?

Forebet predicts that Celta Vigo will record a victory in a relatively low-scoring encounter to progress to the third round of the competition.
