Competition: Spain - Copa del Rey

• Date: Wednesday, 21st, December 2022

• Kickoff: 20:00 UK/21.00 CET

• Venue: Estadio La Isla (Coria)

CD Coria, a member of the fourth tier of Spanish football, is one of the most pleasant surprises of the first round of the Copa del Rey, as they managed to eliminate their rival from a higher tier (third tier), Fuenlabrada, 2-0 in front of their home fans. It is certainly an achievement for such a small club, who will be fighting to get into the round of 16 of this competition for the first time in their history, but taking something against Real Sociedad is easier said than done.

At "Estadio La Isla", with a capacity of 3000 seats, Real Sociedad arrives, who demonstrated their strength in the first round of the Copa del Rey and achieved a convincing 4-1 triumph over Cazalegas, who, we believe, were also satisfied with scoring tips free a goal against their rivals from LaLiga . The Basque club played two friendlies during the World Cup break, drawing with Rayo Vallecano (1-1) and losing to Leeds United (1-2), and will now aim for another win in the Copa del Rey.

CD Coria vs Real Sociedad Betting Tips: Over 2.5

It will be the first meeting between these teams. It is clear that there is a difference in quality between these teams and there is no doubt about that, so the Basques, even if they have problems with injuries, should secure a convincing triumph without major complications. Interestingly, CD Coria postponed their league action over the weekend in order to prepare for the match with Real Sociedad in the best possible way, but we think it won't help them much. Imanol Alguacil's La Real are playing brilliantly on their visits this season, as the results themselves confirm. Namely, they have won six of the previous eight away matches in all competitions, and scored at least two goals in each of them. We believe that Real Sociedad will dominate from the first to the final whistle, and we also hope that they have enough power in the final third to football tips for today score at least three goals in this one.

Left-back Ivan Simon and centre-forward Nane Garcia are in the recovery room due to "undisclosed" injuries. The duo should be the only ones unavailable in the home team for the Copa del Rey.
