I'm backing Girona to win and the match to go over 3.0 goals on 27 October 2026 at 20:30. This Copa del Rey first-round tie sits between Segunda's fourth-place side and a Tercera Federación outfit, and the gap in class is too wide to ignore. Cuarté sit third in their fourth-tier group; Girona sit fourth in the second tier, just four points behind Almería. I see a comfortable away win wrapped inside a high-scoring game.
Cuarté have built a solid season and sit near the top of their group, but they're playing in a completely different universe from Girona. My read is that home advantage and emotional lift can keep this competitive for a spell, but the visitors' squad depth and experience will tell. Girona have players with higher-level pedigree—Bryan Gil, Álex Moreno, Portu, Donny van de Beek, Yáser Asprilla, Carles Pérez—and they're not the type to be caught off guard by a fourth-tier side.
Form and H2H
I'm impressed by Girona's recent run. They're unbeaten in their last six matches, winning four and drawing two. Their latest outing against Celta Fortuna ended 5-1, though I'll note their opponents were reduced to ten men early on. Over their last six games, Girona have scored an average of two goals per game and conceded just 0.5. That defensive record is elite for this level of competition.
Cuarté have recorded two wins, two draws and two defeats across their last six games. They beat Fraga 2-0 most recently, drew 2-2 with Robres and Caspe, and beat La Almunia 3-1 before that. I see a team that regularly plays in high-scoring matches—over 2.5 goals has landed in 67% of their last six games, and their matches average three goals. That attacking profile is exactly what I need for the over 3.0 call.
Best bet
I'm taking Total over 3.0 at 1.93 on 1xBet. Cuarté average three goals per match and hit over 2.5 in 67% of their last six outings. Girona just put five past Celta Fortuna and are averaging two goals per game themselves. I'm confident this match produces at least four goals between them, and the odds at 1.93 reflect genuine value given the attacking profiles on both sides.
Odds to watch
I'll also monitor the Asian Handicap markets. Girona's superiority suggests they should win, and I can back that at 1 at 1.24 on 1xBet. If I want to hedge slightly and account for Cuarté's home advantage, I could look at AH 1.0 away at 1.21, which gives the visitors a one-goal start. Both Teams Score sits at 2.55 for yes on 1xBet, and I think that's worth considering given Cuarté's attacking output and Girona's willingness to push forward even in a mismatch.
