Alcoyano – Real Madrid Picks & Prediction
Alcoyano - Real Madrid Prediction, Picks and Tips
On Wednesday evening there is another nice Spanish cup match on the program, when third division Alcoyano takes on none other than Real Madrid in-house. The visitors are of course a high favorite for a place in the last sixteen, but in the Copa del Rey every year guarantees various surprises.
For Alcoyano, the cup match against Real Madrid is of course one of the highlights of the 92-year club history. The Spanish third division team is of course the obvious underdog on Wednesday evening, but the team from Valencia already managed to stunt in the previous round by skittling LaLiga club Huesca thanks to a 2-1 victory from the Copa del Rey.
With five wins and a draw in the last six official games, Alcoyano is in excellent form, although the chances are very high that this unbeaten series against Real Madrid will come to an end. However, it is wonderful for the players of the home team that they can compete with one of the best teams in the world. The team of trainer Vicente Parras should mainly rely on 41-year-old goalkeeper Jose Juan Figueras and 35-year-old midfielder Jony Niguez (the older brother of Atletico Madrid midfielder Saul Niguez).
Real Madrid has yet to get up to speed in 2021. The Madrid team only managed to win one of their last four matches, and were already killed in the semi-finals of the Spanish Supercopa last Friday by losing 1-2 to later winner Athletic Bilbao. Lucas Vazquez in particular will have had a bad night's sleep on Friday-evening, as he made an error on both goals.
It is therefore necessary for Zinedine Zidane to quickly get his team back on the right track. These kinds of cup matches are in fact no more than mandatory snacks for a club like Real Madrid, although neighbor Atletico Madrid showed two weeks ago how not to do it by losing 1-0 to third division Cornella. Zidane will therefore bring a respectable team into the lines, although there is a good chance that pillars such as Sergio Ramos, Toni Kroos, Karim Benzema and Thibaut Courtois can look forward to a shattered evening.
