Arenteiro vs Valencia Prediction
Valencia are currently flying high in the Spanish top division, while Arenteiro are languishing in the relegation zone of the fourth division. This pretty much establishes the difference in class between the two sides.
Beyond the obvious quality gap, Valencia's strong run of form means that anything other than a comfortable victory for the visitors will be considered a huge upset. This is unlikely though and we are backing Jose Bordalas' side to progress with a convincing win.
Prediction: Arenteiro 0-4 Valencia
