Noja's tough run of results
Looking at Noja's last twenty matches, the numbers are stark: one win, four draws and fifteen defeats. They've scored only 15 goals in that spell while shipping 50, which points to a side leaking chances regularly.

There's the odd steady result mixed in, like a couple of 0-0 and 1-1 draws, but the heavier scorelines stand out more. Losses such as 2-5, 1-4 and 4-1 suggest a defence that's been opened up often this season.
A defence conceding at that rate is unlikely to suddenly tighten up just because it's a cup tie.
A cup tie without a clear form guide
This is a Copa del Rey fixture rather than a league match, and cup ties can play out differently from what league form suggests. Noja's domestic numbers this season have been poor, but knockout football sometimes brings a different level of effort or a fresher approach from the home side.
We don't have any form data on Ribadesella CF here, so it's hard to weigh up how the two sides compare heading into this. All we can really lean on is Noja's underlying league struggles, which at the very least raise doubts about their consistency.
Noja's league form gives plenty of cause for concern, with a defence that's conceded heavily and a side that's rarely won. But that's only half the picture in a cup tie against a team we simply don't have data on.
With no markets to weigh up and one-sided evidence at best, this looks like one to leave alone rather than force a view on.
Who will win?
