National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Burgos or Espanyol that keep their silverware dream alive.
It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only three days ago in the La Liga 2. That game was also an away game, at Las Palmas. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.
Burgos form and stats
Burgos have not come this way in the Copa Del Rey without some hard work on the way, more precisely defeating FC Andorra.When playing at home in the Segunda B - Group 1, Burgos have managed 3 wins, 0 draws and suffered 1 defeat from 4 games. The opportunity of a proper winning streak is there for the hosts, with two straight wins here at Estadio Municipal de El Plantío.
Burgos are confident in defense, having played 201 minutes without conceding a goal in the league.
Burgos's previous game was a Copa Del Rey match also played at home, ending 2-0 versus FC Andorra. The home side are looking to build on that result. 0-0 away at Lealtad before that.
Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Real Oviedo II are coming to town in four days.
Burgos are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 4 goals in 4 games. As for guarding their own goal, Burgos have only let in 2 goals at home.
Espanyol form and stats
The traveling awayteam has defeated Llagostera-Costa Brava in order to reach 2nd Round of Copa Del Rey. They also participated in Copa Del Rey last season. This ended in the 16th finals.The visitors are W5-D2-L2 on the road this term. That's in the La Liga 2.
Two away games in a row for Espanyol, who will hope to get a better result in this one after losing 0-1 versus Las Palmas in the La Liga 2. Prior to that match, a home win 2-1 against Almeria in the La Liga 2.
A new game in only four days for Espanyol, the La Liga 2 home match versus Castellon. Busy days.
Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Espanyol have scored 13 goals in 9 league games away. They concede less than a goal on average per away game (5 so far).
