I'm backing total goals over 3 in this Copa del Rey first-round tie. Sestao host Espanyol on 27 October 2026 at 21:00, and I see a match that will open up more than the scoreline suggests. Espanyol are La Liga operators facing a fourth-tier Basque club, but that gap creates exactly the conditions for goals. Sestao won't sit passive for 90 minutes—they've already beaten Terrassa 4-1 and Comillas 2-1 to reach this stage. They'll probe on the break. Espanyol, meanwhile, carry injury concerns and fixture congestion that could make them sloppy in possession. I'm not predicting a rout. I'm predicting a match where both teams get chances.
