Bet on the outcome
The Copa del Rey match between Almeria and Leganes promises to be a tense affair, with a draw at full time looking likely. Almeria are in excellent form at the top of the Segunda, but Leganes are also in good form, especially in the Copa, where they snatched a win over Cartagena. Both teams are balanced and can focus on avoiding mistakes, which often leads to draws in high-stakes games. The game is expected to be cautious and tense, with few clear scoring chances, which makes a draw more likely.

Bet on corners
It is expected that in this match the teams will actively use the flanks, which will lead to a significant number of corner kicks. Almeria, dominating in attack, often creates threats through flank crosses and corner kicks. Leganes, in turn, tries to use counterattacks and set pieces, which also increases the likelihood of corners. In the last matches of these teams, a significant number of corners were recorded, which makes the bet on the total a more logical choice
Betting Tip - total over nine corners with odds of 2.00
