Eldense vs Valencia Prediction and Betting Tips | January 7th 2025

Eldense will face Valencia at the Nuevo Pepico Amat on Tuesday in the last 32 of the 2024-25 Copa del Rey campaign. The home side have had their struggles in the Spanish second tier this season but will break from that this week as they open the year with a cup tie against top-flight opposition.

They beat Atletico 1-0 in their cup opener back in October with Unai Ropero scoring the sole goal of the game from the spot late in the first half. They were then drawn against Cadiz in the second round of the tournament, once again winning 1-0 via a late penalty strike from Ivan Chapela.

Valencia, meanwhile, picked up a narrow but largely deserved 1-0 victory over Parla Escuela in the first round of the Copa del Rey with Pepelu scoring a brilliant first-half free-kick to see off the seventh-tier side. They then beat Ejea 3-1 in the next round with three different players getting on the scoresheet to seal victory for the eight-time champions.

The visitors appointed Carlos Corberan as the new boss over the festive period, with the Spaniard now targeting his first win at the helm after losing 2-1 to Real Madrid in his opening game.

Eldense vs Valencia Prediction

Eldense are winless in their last four matches and have won just one of their last seven. They are, however, undefeated in their last four home games and will be looking to extend that streak this week.

Similarly, Valencia are without a win in their last five games on the trot. They are however the stronger side ahead of the midweek clash and should have just enough to edge this one.

Prediction: Eldense 0-1 Valencia
