CompetitionCopa del Rey

Trival Valderas have worked hard for their place in this Copa del Rey first round tie, and they will be absolutely determined to make the most of it. A fifth tier side getting a crack at a Segunda Division outfit is exactly the kind of occasion that makes this competition so special, and you can bet the lads from Alcorcon will be desperate to cause one of the great upsets. Leganes, though, are coming into this in desperate need of a result after a genuinely rotten run of form, and there is a real question about whether a cup win over lower league opposition is exactly what Luis Carrion’s squad needs to lift the mood.

The stakes could not be more different for the two sides. For Trival Valderas, this is a once in a generation moment, their first appearance at this stage of the Copa del Rey since the 2014 to 2015 season. For Leganes, it is about avoiding the nightmare scenario of crashing out to a team four divisions below them while sitting 17th in the second tier of Spanish football.

Trival Valderas vs Leganes Match Details

This Copa del Rey first round tie is a curious one in terms of the venue setup. Despite Trival Valderas being the designated home side, the match takes place at Leganes’ own Estadio Municipal de Butarque, since the Valderas ground at Estadio La Canaleja does not meet the requirements to host a cup fixture at this level. It strips away the classic lower league home advantage, which could prove significant when you are talking about a side hoping to cause an upset.

Team News

Raul Montero has no major injury concerns to deal with heading into this one, which is a small blessing given the size of the occasion. Leganes have a couple of fitness doubts to manage on their side.

• Trival Valderas report no significant injuries or suspensions ahead of the tie.
• Leganes are monitoring Lalo Aguilar and Ignasi Miquel, both of whom were not fully fit for the defeat to Albacete.
• Miguel Atienza and Alvaro Tejero have both returned to contention for Carrion, with Atienza having already featured against Albacete.
• Alvaro Morata is available and in excellent touch, having scored three goals in his last two appearances since returning from suspension.

Predicted Lineups

Trival Valderas look set to line up in a compact shape with five at the back, relying on attacking wing backs to provide width and a midfield trio working hard to support the strikers on the counter. It is a sensible setup for a side that knows they need to stay organised and hit on the break if they are going to cause any damage.

Leganes boss Carrion has options now that Atienza and Tejero are back in the picture, and with Morata leading the line in red hot form, he will want his side to impose their quality early. Expect Zidane in goal, with a back four of Pena, Marvel, Montero and Franquesa. Sancris, Atienza and Zico should anchor the midfield with Gharbi given license to create, and Millan partnering Morata up top.

Recent Form

Trival Valderas go into this having drawn their last three Tercera Federacion Group 7 matches, all of them finishing 2 to 2. There is a pattern there that tells you something about this team. They score, they concede, and they find a way to stay level. Across nine league games they have won three, drawn five and lost once, scoring 14 and conceding 11. That is a side that is competitive without being clinical, and their most recent outing, a 2 to 2 draw with Galapagar in which they surrendered the lead twice, underlines both their attacking intent and their defensive fragility.

Leganes are in a genuinely worrying place right now. Seven league games without a win, six of those ending in defeat, and a 3 to 1 home reverse against Albacete at the weekend that left them sitting 17th in the Segunda Division with 12 points from 13 games. The goals against column makes grim reading too, 23 conceded in those 13 fixtures, with only three clubs in the entire division having shipped more. That is not a backline that inspires confidence, though it is worth noting that Trival Valderas are a considerable step down from the kind of opposition Leganes face week in, week out at this level.

The bright spot for Carrion is Morata. Three goals in two games since returning from suspension is the kind of contribution that can change a team’s mood, and Leganes will be leaning on him heavily here to get the job done and restore a bit of confidence ahead of their league schedule.

Head-to-Head Record

There is no head to head history to draw on here whatsoever. This is the first time these two clubs have met in any competition, which makes it genuinely fascinating from a purely football perspective. You cannot rely on previous encounters to give you a steer, so the form book and the class gap between the two divisions has to do most of the talking. What we do know is that Leganes have made it to the Copa del Rey second round in each of the last three seasons, and they will be intent on keeping that run going.

Key Stats

• Leganes have conceded 23 goals in 13 Segunda Division games this season, one of the worst defensive records in the second tier.
• Trival Valderas have drawn each of their last three league matches, all finishing 2 to 2.
• Morata has scored three times in his last two appearances since returning from suspension, putting him in exceptional touch ahead of this tie.

Trival Valderas vs Leganes Betting Tips

The class gap between these sides is four full divisions, and while Leganes are not in great shape right now, they should have far too much quality for a Tercera Federacion outfit, especially with Morata on fire. The interesting angles here are around how comfortable the victory is and whether Valderas can get on the scoresheet against a leaky Leganes backline.

Correct Score Prediction

A 0 to 2 Leganes win feels the most likely outcome. Valderas are compact and can make it difficult, but Morata and company should have the quality to get the job done without it getting too nervy. Two goals for the away side and a clean sheet just about does it.

Both Teams To Score (BTTS) Prediction

This one leans towards no. Valderas have been scoring regularly in the league, but they face a step up in class that makes it much harder for them to find a way through. Leganes have been leaky, but their opponents in this tie are operating four levels below Segunda Division football. Back BTTS no here.

First Goalscorer Prediction

Alvaro Morata is the standout shout. Three goals in his last two games, he is in the kind of form where he is demanding the ball and finding the net, and facing fifth tier opposition as an experienced forward who has played at the very highest level, he should be licking his lips at this opportunity.

Cards Prediction

Valderas will need to be physical to have any chance here, and that could lead to a few cynical fouls as they try to disrupt Leganes in the transition. Expect three or four bookings across the ninety minutes, with the home side more likely to pick them up as they strain every sinew to stay in the game.

Over and Under Goals Prediction

Under 3.5 goals looks the right call. Leganes should win this comfortably enough but their recent form suggests they are not exactly a free flowing attacking unit right now. Two or three goals in total feels like the most probable range, and there is no compelling reason to back a goal fest given the shape Valderas are likely to adopt.

Bet Builder Tip

Leganes to win, Morata to open the scoring and a clean sheet for the Segunda side ties together the core logic of this preview into one tidy package.

Final Match Prediction

Leganes should get through this without too many scares, even if Valderas make them work a bit harder than their fans would like. The fifth tier side will set up defensively and look to nick something on the counter, but against a Morata who is in genuinely good nick and a squad that simply has more quality across the pitch, they are unlikely to hold on for a shock.

Trival Valderas 0 to 2 Leganes is the call. A solid Copa del Rey progression for the Segunda side and a memorable occasion for the lower league outfit, even if it does not produce the fairytale result they are dreaming of.
