• Read on: Gaziantep vs Pendikspor prediction and betting tips on January 5, 2024

Elche

In the current season, Elche plies its trade in Segunda, holding a modest 12th position. Even under these circumstances, the club harbors aspirations for promotion, as it trails the top six by merely three points. Presently, Elche is undergoing a noticeable downturn, failing to secure victory in three consecutive matches and accruing only one point during this unfortunate stretch. In the last round, the team held a substantial advantage against direct competitor Mirandes but failed to press home the advantage. Facing a formidable opponent, Elche may benefit from the potential experimental lineup of Girona.

Girona

This season, Girona stands out as a revelation not only in Spain but across Europe. The unassuming mid-table team is contending for the championship, currently occupying the second position, trailing Real only on additional metrics, with a seven-point cushion over the third-placed team. At this pace, Girona has a realistic chance of participating in the Champions League next year. In the last round, the club secured a phenomenal home victory against the formidable Atletico, triumphing 4-3 and scoring the decisive goal in injury time.

While the championship undoubtedly takes precedence, Girona is unlikely to voluntarily bow out of the cup.

Statistics and Match prediction

The last encounters between the adversaries took place in the previous season's La Liga, with Girona winning both matches – 2-1 away and 2-0 at home. Despite the disparity in divisions, bookmakers slightly favor the visitors. Considering Girona's fantastic league performance, there is no necessity for them to divert their focus to the cup. A compelling wager here appears to be on both teams scoring.
