In the round of 16 of the Copa del Rey, Albacete will face Real Madrid in a gala match on Wednesday at the Estadio Carlos Belmonte. The Spanish national cup is a breath of fresh air for the locals. They pulled off a remarkable feat in the previous round by knocking out Celta Vigo on penalties. As a Liga 2 team, Albacete is likely to face a long struggle for survival. They have not won in their last four games and are in 17th place in the standings, one point above the relegation zone. Alberto Gonzalez's team will find it difficult to feel confident against one of the favorites in this Copa del Rey.
Real Madrid is also embarking on a new cycle. After losing the Spanish Super Cup final to FC Barcelona (3-2), Xabi Alonso left his coaching position just a few months after arriving. Alvaro Arbeloa has replaced him! Los Merengues could be betting big on the Copa del Rey to win a trophy this season. Currently in second place in La Liga, they are already four points behind FC Barcelona (first), who show no signs of slowing down. In the Champions League, the Madrid club is in the top eight of the group stage, but has lost two of its last three games. They will be looking to take advantage of the Copa del Rey to lift their spirits a little!
