Eldense vs Valencia prediction, H2H & Probable Line-ups – January 7, 2025
One of the matches in the next round of the Copa del Rey will take place on Tuesday at the Estadio Nuevo Pepico Amat, where Eldense will host Valencia. Here's a betting suggestion focusing on the outcome of this match with good chances for success.
Match Preview
Eldense has long competed in the lower tiers of Spanish football, but in recent years, the club has made an impressive leap. In just two seasons, the team ascended from the fourth division to the second and is now a participant in LaLiga 2. Last season was Eldense’s debut at this level, and it was relatively successful — they finished 16th, just five points clear of the relegation zone.
However, the battle for survival remains a pressing concern this season. The team is currently out of the relegation zone only due to better tiebreakers. Eldense has struggled to secure victories in recent matches, with their last win coming in late November against Huesca. In the Copa del Rey, Eldense advanced past Atlético Paso (1-0) and Cádiz (1-0).
Valencia, on the other hand, is enduring a disastrous season, and it’s possible they could join Eldense in LaLiga 2 next year. Currently, the team is second to last in the league, with only 12 points from 18 matches.
In their most recent league outing, Valencia hosted Real Madrid and took the lead. However, they ultimately failed to even secure a point, as Los Blancos equalized and clinched victory in the final minutes. In the Copa del Rey, Valencia won two away games against Parla (1-0) and Ejea (3-1).
