Team Analysis
Jove Espanol San Vicente is gearing up for their first official match of the season in front of their home crowd. Their recent form has been mixed, with a record of three wins, five losses, and two draws in their last ten matches. They have struggled offensively, averaging just 0.9 goals per game, and their defensive statistics show an average of 1.1 goals conceded per match. Playing at home may provide them with a slight advantage, but they will need to significantly improve their scoring to compete effectively.

Real Sociedad enters this match with a stronger record, having won five, lost three, and drawn two of their last ten official matches. They have averaged 1.3 goals scored per game, with a slightly better performance when playing away (1.4 goals per game). Defensively, they have been solid, conceding only 0.9 goals per match. Their experience and ability to handle pressure in knockout competitions like the Copa del Rey will be crucial in this matchup.

Head-to-Head
As these teams have not faced each other previously, there is no historical data to draw upon. However, Real Sociedad's overall performance this season suggests they will be the favorites going into this match. Playing at home could provide a slight edge for Jove Espanol, but it remains to be seen how they will fare against a more established team like Real Sociedad.

Prediction
For this encounter, the prediction leans towards Real Sociedad not losing the match, given their stronger form and statistics. They have not lost in their last six Copa del Rey matches, and their experience in this tournament positions them well. Additionally, due to both teams' recent low-scoring trends, particularly Jove Espanol's games, an outcome of under 3.5 goals is likely. Therefore, a close match with a final score potentially ending in a draw or a narrow win for Real Sociedad seems to be the most probable outcome.

Pick: Under 4.5 goals
