ANALYSIS: The keys of the eliminatory of chambers of the Glass of the King 2018-19

The Glass of the King 2018-19 already has quarter-finals, after in the afternoon of this Friday confirmed all the corresponding pairings. Already they are only eight the aspiring clubs to the title, and before it finish the month of January -the duels will contest between the days 23 and 30-, will remain the half. The competition has put of full in the decisive phase.

Before the usual draw in the headquarters of the Real Spanish Federation of Football (RFEF), has been necessary to resolve one of the subjects of the day and also of the week, the complaint of the Raise to the FC Barcelona by the presumptive undue alignment of Chumi. The day was marked by the conflict that could finish with the expulsion of the culés of the championship, although finally the Committee of Competition has considered that the claim arrived out of term and has corroborated a pass that the Catalans obtained on the lawn. The 'granota', in spite of everything, will resort his decision to the Administrative Court of the Sport (TAD).

Going back to the sportive questions, the selection made gave step to four crosses of maximum level, with several key appearances between which there are precedents, perspectives and also curiosities and anecdotes. To continuation will make an analysis detailed of each one of these meetings, beginning by the duel between the valid champion and the Seville, that reedit the past final copera.

The keys of the quarter-finals of the Glass 2018-19

Seville-FC Barcelona

The eight duels between FC Barcelona and Seville in the Glass of the King signal maximum equality, since each one has carried four. The two last were final and fell in favour of the Barcelona, and it is necessary to retreat to the season 2009-10 to find the last elimination of the blanquirrojos, that imposed in a crossing of eighth.

A factor against of the men of Pablo Machín is that since, in the global of all the competitions, hardly have rascado four ties and two triumphs in 27 parties. It will be a losa difficult to separate, but each party is a new battle and little will influence the 0-5 of the past final, the 1-2 in the Supercopa of Spain (already with the current technician in the bench) or the 4-2 in LaLiga.

The Andalusians have a staff of a lot of carats and spare capacity to take down to the 'Rey of Glasses' that does not want to leave surprise in a tournament that is him putting of face. If it keeps his good series, every time remain fewer steps and fewer opponents of level, since it would leave to another of the favourites on the way. Between the anecdotes is the turn of Munir The Haddadi few days to leave traspasado.

Real Madrid-Girona

The Real Madrid is the clear favourite of the eliminatory, but the Girona is a dangerous rival and can not fiar. With Eusebio Sacristán, the Catalans confirmed his good series in front of the Athletic of Madrid, that never has been able to them win and saw as they deleted him after taking advantage of the double value of the goals out of house. The team of the Cholo Simeone still is regretting.

Regarding direct clashes, the rojiblancos are a young group in the elite, but already have allowed the luxury to strike to the 'merengues'. It was in his first duel in First Division and in the stadium of Montilivi, with a 2-1 that already has happened to the history. The two following parties were with clarity for the whites, that surpassed them by 6-3 and 1-4 and expect to leave to a side his problems and avoid that the disclosure give another big surprise.

Getafe-Valencia

It will be one of the most interesting duels, because Valencia wants to do cost his history in a more equalised duel of what seems. In spite of the favouritism 'che', the ones of Marcelino García Toral are not going through a good moment, and the ones of José Bordalás are one of the disclosures in LaLiga, in which they struggle by colarse in the European places.

The total balance of previous meetings sonrie to the blanquinegros, but the duels in glass are equalised. They are nine victories, five ties and 16 defeats 'azulonas' and an eliminatory of eighth to his favour (2006-07), but a final of the course siguente (2007-08) that carried the pupilos of Ronald Koeman.

RCD Espanyol-Real Betis 

It does long that RCD Espanyol and Real Betis do not cross in Glass, but the six previous duels were for the verdiblancos. The last conflict was in the campaign 1976-77, and since have limited to see the faces in LaLiga, in which his merits are more than equalised.

In the global of all the competitions are 41 Andalusian victories, 35 ties and 45 Catalan triumphs, what will do that the men of Rubi and the ones of Quique Setién, two soplos of cool air in the championship, litigate for winning the poster of 'covered' on the way to the title.
