The Osasuna side leave for this unmotivated game after having added yet another day without proving the taste of victory, as they drew 1-1 against Huesca: the only goal of the match was signed by Unai García. In this game for the King’s Cup it is expected that coach Diego Martinez play in the usual tactical system, that is, 4-2-3-1, with David Rodriguez being the most offensive reference of the team. Despite playing at home, in some moments of the game Osasuna must opt for a strategy based on the counter-attack so as to take advantage of the space on the back of the enemy’s defensive line. It seems that the coach can not count on the injured Miguel Flaño and Tano Bonnín.
