La Nucia vs Valencia: No mercy
La Nucia is one of the rare representatives of the 4th division to participate in the round of 16 of the King's Cup of Spain. To be present in this round, the team under coach César Ferrando defeated Las Palmas with a score of 6-5 in the gunfight.
Despite being lucky before Las Palmas, the lucky draw was no longer on La Nucia's side when bringing them to meet Valencia in the round of 16. Compared to Las Palmas, Valencia is of course at a much higher level. Therefore, La Nucia hardly has the opportunity to bring the match to the penalty shootout 11 meters.
In fact, La Nucia's recent form is not very impressive. This team only won in the last 20 matches, the rest drew 10, lost 5. At home, La Nucia only won 2 matches since the beginning of the 2022/2023 season, the rest only drew and lost.
On the opposite side, Valencia has just lost to Villareal in La Liga. Therefore, "The Bats" marched to La Nucia's yard with great determination. Surely there will be no mercy from the white team with a team playing in the 4th division when they consider the King's Cup as one of the top concerns.
The two teams have never met!
