Valencia to Win
Last season, Valencia reached the final of Copa del Rey and if they can eliminate Sporting Gijon, they will get to the quarter-finals now and close to repeating that feat. However, Valencia lost four of their last six games in La Liga, so they are not in good form at the moment.
That being said, Sporting Gijon also struggled lately since they only have one win in the last six Segunda matches. With that in mind, a win for Valencia in this game still seems like a reasonable prediction.
Both Teams to Score – Yes
We saw both teams score in three of the last five head-to-head duels between Sporting Gijon and Valencia, so we won't be surprised to see both teams score on Wednesday too.
Furthermore, both teams have scored in 56% of all La Liga matches that Valencia played this season, while the same is true for 43% of all Sporting Gijon games in Segunda so far.

Sporting Gijon vs Valencia – Team News, Latest Form, and Probable Lineups
While the guests are the obvious favourite, this could be an interesting match after all. So, here's a closer look at both teams ahead of it:
Sporting Gijon
At the moment, Sporting Gijon is sitting in the lower half of the standings in Segunda and they are not that far ahead of the first team in the relegation zone. That being said, they are also not that far from the playoff zone either, but their current form is not that great since they only have one win in the last six games in the league.
Meanwhile, Nacho Méndez and Axel Bamba are currently on the team's injury list and out of the next game.
Sporting Gijon Predicted Lineup:
Cuellar – Rosas, Insua, Gragera, Sanchez – Rivera, Diaz, Martin – Garcia, Milovanovic, Otera
Valencia
After a solid start of the season, it seems that Valencia has now struggled in recent matches. After all, the team has lost four of their last six matches in the league, along with one win and one draw. So, it seems that Copa del Rey might be their best chance to try and secure a place in Europe next season, however unlikely that might be.
When it comes to team news, Samu Castillejo and Nico González are out with injuries at the moment.
Valencia Predicted Lineup:
Mamardashvili – Correia, Comert, Ozkacar, Gaya – Moriba, Almeida, Musah – Kluivert, Duro, Lino

Player to Watch: Hugo Guillamon
The young Spanish midfielder has been one of the best contributors for Valencia on the offensive end in La Liga this season, so we chose him as our player to watch in their upcoming Copa del Rey duel against Sporting Gijon.
After all, Guillamon has one goal and four assists in the Spanish league this season and his creativity in the midfield is the driving force for Valencia's attack, so keep an eye on him in this game.
