The Copa del Rey round of 16 kicks off tonight with a match between Deportivo La Coruña and Atlético Madrid.
Currently in the second division, the La Coruña club is keen to delight its fans but above all hopes to be back in this kind of match next season. Currently fifth in Liga 2, it occupies third place out of four in the promotion play-offs and is only four points behind the top two. Deportivo has just suffered a slight drop in the standings, having drawn two games and then lost three consecutive league matches. While nothing is lost yet, the team will need to wake up quickly as the serious business begins in the second half of the 2025/2026 season.
For its part, Atlético is doing what Atlético does. Capable of beating anyone and troubling the big teams, its inconsistent results often prevent it from challenging for the La Liga title. Currently fourth in the Spanish first division, the Riyadh Air Metropolitano side is already 11 points behind leaders FC Barcelona. While the championship seems difficult to achieve, Diego Simeone and his men have also just failed in the Spanish Super Cup, losing to Real Madrid (1-2) in the semi-finals. With only the Champions League and the Copa del Rey left to play for, the latter seems to be the most achievable for Antoine Griezmann and his teammates. They will have to give it their all.

Our La Coruna vs Atletico Madrid Prediction
Although Deportivo La Coruña is playing for promotion to the first division, the difference in level between them and Atlético Madrid remains far too great on paper. Logic should prevail, and we expect Atlético to qualify by dominating their opponents on the day. Diego Simeone's men know that this Copa del Rey is probably their last chance to win a trophy this season, and they should give it their all until the final. They also need to make up for a defeat against their rivals a few days ago.
