Estadio Carlos Belmonte has a famous visitor coming this Tuesday as Albacete plays host to Barcelona. The two clash in the Copa del Rey quarter-finals with Segunda Division side Albacete eyeing an upset. Read on for our prediction of the match.
Though the clear underdogs here, Albacete arrive for this game in great shape. The hosts are unbeaten in five matches, having won four of them. The hosts will be facing a third La Liga side after Celta Vigo and Real Madrid.
In the last round they knocked out Madrid in a stunning 3-2 win, and they hope lightning strikes again. After a 2-0 league win against Real Zaragoza, Albacete are on the search for only a second-ever semi-final appearance in this competition.
While Albacete have never been beyond the semis, Barcelona are the most decorated club in Copa del Rey history.
The La Liga giants, last year’s winners, are seeking a 33rd such trophy as they continue battling on three different fronts. Barca have already won the Super Cup.
They arrive for this encounter after a 3-1 comeback win against Elche, their fourth straight victory. While their strength isn’t in question, Barcelona haven't managed many clean sheets in the last few matches. Only one of five has had a shutout, and twice in the process they conceded two goals.

Our Albacete vs Barcelona Prediction
Albacete have faced off with two La Liga sides on their way to the quarter-finals. They obviously prevailed in those matches and scored four times. Their most recent one was against Real Madrid, and they will hope for some inspiration from it.
Albacete will also bank on their good scoring run coming into this game, coupled with Barcelona’s recent defensive lows. It has been over 20 years since these two sides last faced off, but Barcelona have six straight wins in this fixture. They are favorites to win here too. Our prediction for Albacete v Barcelona is for Barcelona to win and BTTS.
