1.28Tip and bets
The Copa del Rey match between Pontevedra and Getafe promises to be low-scoring. Both teams demonstrate a cautious style of play, especially at the playoff stage, where the price of error is high. Pontevedra, despite its successful performance in previous rounds, pays great attention to defense, which is confirmed by their recent matches, in which more than two goals were rarely scored. Getafe, in turn, traditionally builds its game from defense, which is especially noticeable in away matches. Defensive tactics and the desire of both teams to minimize risks create the preconditions for low scoring. Historically, meetings between teams similar in style to Pontevedra and Getafe also tend to have a total of less than 2.5 goals, which makes this scenario the most likely in the upcoming match.
Our prediction is total under 2.5 goals, odds 1.80

The Copa del Rey clash between Pontevedra and Getafe promises to be a close one, with a draw at full-time looking likely. Pontevedra, in excellent form and playing at home, will be looking to extend their unbeaten run, with a particular focus on defence. Getafe, despite being a La Liga side, have problems scoring on the road, leaving them vulnerable. Both teams are expected to be cautious, trying to avoid making mistakes that could lead to a draw.

Bet on corners
The match is expected to be intense in the centre of the pitch, which could limit the number of dangerous moments and, consequently, corners. Pontevedra and Getafe have demonstrated a reserved approach to attack in recent matches. Based on this, the likelihood of a small number of corners is high.
Our prediction is total corners under 8.5 with odds of 1.85
