**These two just can't be separated.** UE Tavernes and UD Maracena squared off recently and couldn't break the deadlock — now they're right back at it in the Copa del Rey 🔄
Maracena's got some momentum with two wins in their last five, but they got absolutely steamrolled by Valencia (0-5, yikes). Tavernes, meanwhile, are still hunting for that first W in the sequence. The draw is basically their calling card at this point.
Key storylines:
- **Maracena's attacking depth** with Klyverson and Falin up front will be crucial against a Tavernes side that couldn't breach them last time
- **Tavernes needing a spark** — one draw isn't a disaster, but they're running out of room for error in knockout football
- **Midfield control** between Maracena's **A. Marfil** and **R. Osuna** could dictate tempo and set the tone early
Expected lineups:
- **UD Maracena**: D. García, A. Salvatierra, R. Alarcón, Juanjo, D. Maldonado, A. Marfil, R. Osuna, J. Sabaca, Klyverson, Falin, R. Fernández
Prediction:
**1-1** (into extra time or pens). Tavernes will pack the box, Maracena will probe, and nobody wants to give an inch 📌
