Real Oviedo will face Ourense CF on Tuesday in the southeast of Galicia for a crucial Copa del Rey match. This encounter marks an important moment for Ourense, as it welcomes a top-flight team back to its home ground, O Couto.
Ourense CF: A Cup Underdog’s Ambition
In the 2024-2025 season, Ourense CF made headlines by eliminating Real Valladolid in a stunning 3-2 victory. They came from behind after trailing 0-1 and 1-2, advancing to the round of 16. However, their cup journey ended in a 0-2 defeat against Valencia, despite a spirited performance.
Real Oviedo’s Recent Cup Experience
Real Oviedo last competed in the Copa del Rey on October 31, 2024, against Real Ávila. The match ended in a goalless draw, but Oviedo was eliminated after failing to win in a penalty shootout, losing 3-0.
A Challenge Awaiting Real Oviedo
Ourense CF aims to make headlines again this year in the Copa del Rey, hoping to emerge as a surprise team, similar to Pontevedra CF last season. They look to recover from a poor league start, currently sitting at the bottom of Group A in the first federation.
The Stakes for Real Oviedo
