Real Murcia vs Cadiz prediction, H2H and probable lineups - December 03, 2025
In the second round of the Copa del Rey, Real Murcia will host Cadiz on their home turf. The match is scheduled for Wednesday, December 3rd at 21:00 Central European Time. We’re offering our pick for this clash, one that comes with promising odds of success.
Match preview
Real Murcia approach this fixture in terrific form: the team is unbeaten in seven straight matches, five of which ended in victory. However, the start of the season wasn’t ideal for Los Pimentoneros—too many defeats and draws have left the club sitting only fifth in Segunda B.
In the previous round of the Copa del Rey, Murcia edged out Antequera only on penalties. That team also plays in the same division as Real Murcia but is much lower in the table. This time, Real Murcia will have to overcome a more formidable opponent.
Cadiz compete in the Segunda and are fighting for a spot in the La Liga playoffs. Currently, they sit seventh, just a single point shy of the playoff zone. As a result, it’s reasonable to assume their main priority is league success, not the Cup, which could influence their approach for this upcoming match.
In the first round of the Cup, Cadiz dispatched UCAM Murcia 3-1. Traditionally, though, the team hasn’t enjoyed strong cup runs: last season, Cadiz also made it through the first round but fell narrowly to Eldense in the next.

Prediction
I believe we won’t see many goals in this contest. With so much at stake for both sides, one or two goals could prove decisive. I expect that after the first goal, the team that takes the lead will lock down defensively and play more cautiously, barely allowing the opposition to create chances. That’s why my prediction is under 2.5 goals.
