MADRID (Interstat) — Real Sociedad’s youth side will look to carry momentum from a rare victory into the Copa del Rey Juvenil when it visits Negreira on Tuesday.

The matchup pits a struggling La Liga academy against a lower-tier club seeking its first win of the season. Real Sociedad’s senior squad, which informs its youth roster, is coming off a 2-1 home victory over Sevilla last Friday. That result snapped a six-match winless streak across all competitions for the club.

Despite the senior team’s overall record of 1-6-2, the recent win provides a boost. Negreira enters the cup tie with an 0-1-1 record overall and an 0-1 mark in this competition, having lost 2-1 to Textil Escudo in its last outing on Sept. 27.

This is the first Copa del Rey Juvenil match of the season for Real Sociedad. The tournament features youth teams from clubs across Spain’s football pyramid.

Interstat’s game simulator projects a 1-1 draw in the contest.

Following the cup fixture, Real Sociedad’s senior team’s focus returns to La Liga, with a derby against Athletic Bilbao looming on Nov. 1.
