Guijuelo
Guijuelo is having a fine season in Segunda RFEF – Group 1. They were promoted last term as champions.
Can the Hosts Cause an Upset?
So far this season, Chuchi Jorques’ men have picked up nine wins and three draws and sit second in the table behind Arenteiro. They would love to make it back-to-back promotions.
Guijuelo beat Deportivo in the previous round to set up this clash against a club from La Liga. A Pepe Carmona strike and a Kuki Zalazar own goal gave them a 2-0 Copa del Rey triumph on home turf.
They head into this one unbeaten in four. Before a 2-2 away draw last time out, Guijuelo won three on the spin, conceding just one goal along the way. They have suffered only three losses in all competitions since February.
Guijuelo’s main aim will be promotion this season, but a strong run in the cup could stand them in good stead in the second half of the campaign.
