The Copa del Rey round of 16 brings us a match between two La Liga teams, Deportivo Alavés and Rayo Vallecano, this Wednesday at the Estadio Mendizorrotza. The two clubs do not have the same ambitions in the Spanish top flight. Deportivo Alavés is likely to face a long battle for survival in La Liga. Having earned only one point in its previous four games, it sits in 16th place in the standings, just two points above the relegation zone. However, that hasn't stopped Eduardo Coudet's team from performing well in this season's Copa del Rey. They have knocked out Deportivo Getxo (0-7), Portugalete (0-3) and, most notably, Sevilla FC (1-0)!
However, Rayo Vallecano has no intention of playing a supporting role in this away game. Having qualified directly for the Conference League round of 16, they're also proving very solid in La Liga. We are talking about a team that is comfortably sitting in 10th place in the Spanish league. It has also been very difficult to beat in recent weeks. Inigo Perez's men have lost only once in their last seven games in all competitions. After defeating CD Yuncos (1-6), Real Avila (1-2 a.e.t.) and Granada (1-3) in the Copa del Rey, they are looking to continue their winning streak against a La Liga side.
