Correct score prediction: Ourense 1-3 Girona
Barring their defeat to Real Madrid B nine matchdays ago, Ourense have been impeccable, especially on the defensive front, with six clean sheets across their recent outings. Having beaten Real Oviedo in extra time, the side from Galicia will be eager to eliminate another La Liga outfit. However, they meet a Girona side who enter this round following arguably their best performance all season, after holding out giants Real Madrid to a 1-1 draw at Estadio Montilivi. Though the visitors are struggling in the top division, they possess enough firepower to upset Ourense at home. Expect Michel’s men to beat Dani Llacer’s Ourense by a comfortable margin at Estadio O Couto.Pre-game odds and win probability: N/A
