The Reus team, which began the season with one of the most modest budgets in the category and with permanence as its main goal, has exceeded all expectations. After remaining among the top five classified teams for 33 out of 34 matchdays of the regular season, Reus FC Reddis has demonstrated great solidity and ambition.

Their opponent, UD Ourense, arrives at this tie as the third-placed team in their group, with a very solid recent trajectory, having suffered only one defeat in their last seven matches. Offensively, Reus FC Reddis has been more prolific, scoring 50 goals, while the Galician team has scored 40. However, UD Ourense has shown greater defensive consistency, conceding 34 goals compared to the 38 of the red-and-blacks.

Ourense's away performance, with six wins, five draws, and six losses, could open an opportunity for the Reus team, who will seek a favorable result in the first leg to face the return match with confidence. Individually, midfielder Raúl Chapi and top scorer Rufo are key figures for the Galician side.

For Reus FC Reddis, the objective is to maintain the solidity and effectiveness shown in the final stretch of the season. The team arrives with high morale after an important victory in Terrassa and relies on the support of the fans at the Estadi Municipal. The possible presence of Ramon Folch in the starting eleven and the excellent form of Ricardo Vaz, with five goals in the last seven games, will be key factors.

The weather forecast indicates rain, which could influence the pace of the match. Despite this, the Reus fans have responded massively, with over 3,200 tickets sold, demonstrating their unconditional support in this decisive phase.
