Alcoyano and Huesca meet at Campo Municipal El Collao, in a match for this phase of the Copa del Rey (2nd Round). There is no recent record of direct confrontations between these two teams, who have not played a game in the last 3 years. The last time they met was on 02-25-2012, in a match that ended with the final score: Alcoyano (0-3) Huesca. Huesca presents considerable differences in their results at home and as a visitor, so in this game the home factor may be decisive.
Alcoyano:
The home team reaches this stage of the Copa del Rey (2nd Round) after a home win by (4‑1) against Laredo. This is a team little affected by the home factor, that is, it presents similar results at home and away, since in the last 30 games it has recorded 6 wins, 6 draws and 3 losses as a visitor, with 17 goals scored and 13 suffered; against 8 victories, 5 draws and 2 defeats in his stadium, with 31 goals scored and 9 suffered. In their last 10 home games Alcoyano has recorded 4 wins, 3 draws and 3 losses. Their defense has been very solid as they have only conceded goals in 3 of the last 10 matches. In their home matches there is a tendency for few goals, since 6 of their last 13 matches have ended with Under 1.5 goals and 8 out of 13 have ended with Under 2.5 goals. There is 1 period that stands out in the last 7 home matches for all competitions: they have scored 3 of their 7 goals between minutes (31′ ‑ 45 ‘).
Alcoyano comes to this match after a 4×1 victory over Laredo, thus advancing to the next phase of the Copa del Rey: the team’s goals were scored by Ángel López, Juanan Casanova, Ángel López and Mourad El Ghezouani. It should be noted that the locals currently dispute the Spanish third division. In this home game, coach Vicente Parras must present the team in a 4-4-2, favoring the maintenance of the defensive organization and counterattacks, exploiting the space in the back of the opponent’s defensive line in the best way. For this game the coach of the house can count on all his players.
Huesca :
The visiting team reaches this stage of the Copa del Rey (2nd Round) after having eliminated Marchamalo, with a victory by (2‑3) at the end of extra time away in the previous tie. This is a stronger team with the support of its fans, since in the last 30 games it has registered 2 victories, 7 draws and 6 losses as a visitor, with 15 goals scored and 24 suffered; against 6 victories, 5 draws and 4 defeats in his stadium, with 18 goals scored and 12 suffered. The team comes to this match after a home loss against Barcelona by (0‑1). In the last 10 away matches played for all competitions, Huesca won 1, drew 5 and lost 4. The team allowed goals to the opponent in 9 of the last 10 matches, so its defense needs to improve, but its attack has scored regularly, having scored goals in 7 of the last 10 games. In 15 games, they suffered the first goal 8 times and never managed to come back.
Huesca comes to this game unmotivated, after losing 0x1 to Barcelona, thus registering the second consecutive defeat in official matches. In the first round of the Copa del Rey, the visitors beat Marchamalo in overtime by 2×3. In general, coach Míchel plays 4-3-3, favoring a more leisurely style of play, with constant offensive transitions: Javi Ontiveros is one of the great organizers of the offensive process. For this game the coach cannot count on Borja García, Pablo Maffeo, Sandro Ramírez, Antonio Valera and Cheick Doukoure, all with physical problems.
