La Nucia vs Las Palmas: predictions and betting tips on the Copa del Rey match on December 22, 2022
On December 22, Camilo Cano (La Nucia) will host the 1/32 final match of the Copa del Rey, in which La Nucia will compete with Las Palmas. The battle will start at 20:00 CET.
La Nucia
The club was founded in 1995, and gradually, but quite steadily and systematically, used to make progress. “The Red-Blacks” were able to break into the 3rd division of the country in 2019; however, after a couple of years there, they could not maintain their “residence”. But the team seems to be good enough for Segunda Division B. It made an immediate comeback, and now it is the middle peasant of the group. Nevertheless, the team got through in the cup, having won the more famous, albeit not having the best of times, Hercules. Moreover, it was done away: they tied at the end of regular time, and then scored twice more in extra time, eventually bringing the match to a 4-2 score. This time, the team will even have one more “trump card” – the factor of the “home” stadium.
Las Palmas
The team is much more famous and has achieved an order of magnitude more. Even without taking into account the best results half a century ago, it is enough to note that in 2015-2018, for 3 years in a row, “the Canaries” were able to stay in Primera. After relegation, the team gradually gained momentum. At first there was a very modest 12th place, then, twice in a row, the 9th one. Last temporade it turned out to take part in the play-offs, however, there was no final success. And now, with Garcia Pimienta, who used to work in the structure of Barcelona, there is a real opportunity to get a direct ticket to the promotion. Although, it can't do without misfires, like a 1-2 score against Albacete at home. Obviously, all concentration must be put on Segunda. But at the same time, Teruel was beaten in November, and that happened away.
