Logroñés have won their last two away games: Amorebieta vs Logroñés prediction
On November 10, Amorebieta host Logroñés in the Copa del Rey at Campo Municipal de Urritxe. The home side have been performing strongly in the Segunda Federación, but recently saw their winning streak come to an end. The visitors compete at a higher level of Spanish football and head into the tie on the back of an important away victory. Who will come out on top?
Amorebieta: can their home form stop the favourites?
The Basque club are enjoying a solid season and are among the contenders for promotion. Before their last league fixture, Amorebieta had won three games in a row, beating Gernika (2-1), Coruxo (2-1) and Gimnástica Torrelavega (1-0). However, on November 7, they lost 2-1 to Basconia, bringing that run to an end. Despite the setback, the hosts remain in the upper reaches of the table.
Amorebieta have won their last two home games, conceding once in each. Across their previous six matches, they have recorded four wins and two defeats, scoring an average of 1.33 goals per game. Both teams scored in four of those six fixtures. This cup tie will be a stern test of the hosts’ defence as they take on a Primera Federación side.
Logroñés: can the visitors keep winning on the road?
Logroñés are aiming to return to the Segunda División after being relegated from Spain’s second tier. Their results have been inconsistent so far, though: they have picked up two wins, one draw and two defeats in their last five league games. In their previous match, the visitors beat Racing de Ferrol 2-1, bouncing back from a 1-0 home defeat to Mirandés.
Their away record is more convincing. Logroñés have lost just one of their last five away matches and won the previous two, beating Real Avilés (3-1) and Racing de Ferrol (2-1). Their defence remains a weak point, however, with the team conceding in eight consecutive games. The coaching staff may rotate the squad, with promotion back to the professional ranks remaining the season’s main objective.

Can the visitors prove their class advantage? Amorebieta vs Logroñés prediction
Both teams come into this cup tie in decent form, but Logroñés have the edge thanks to facing stronger opposition in the league. The visitors have looked confident on the road and can create plenty of chances despite their defensive issues.
Amorebieta are sure to put up a fight, given their home record and consistent finishing. However, Logroñés’ 4-1 win in the last head-to-head and their current away form tip the prediction in the visitors’ favour.
