Alcoyano vs Real Madrid Free Betting Tips – Copa del Rey
After 5 years spent in the Spanish third division, this Alcoyano team had dropped back to the 4th division during the 2019-20 season. Immediately reassembled, the players of this team are now in 3rd place in group 3B, 10 points behind the leader at the end of the 10th day. The blues and whites have performed well in the Cup since to get to this stage of the competition they beat the Laredo team (4-1) and then won against Huesca, resident of La Liga (2-1).
Imperial at the end of the season last year in the league, Real Madrid won a 34th Spanish championship crown in front of FC Barcelona. For the moment, Real Madrid is more or less present this season in La Liga by occupying 2nd place in the championship, behind their neighbour Atlético. But the Merengue are 4 points behind the Colchoneros who played 2 games less. Lately, Zinedine Zidane’s men were held in check by Elche (1-1), then recovered against Celta Vigo (2-0) and were again held in check by Osasuna, in rather particular conditions in due to snow (0-0). They were also eliminated in the semi-final of the Super Cup against Athletic Bilbao (1-2). This King’s Cup will undoubtedly be a goal for the Madrilenians because they have not won it since 2014 and it is the only trophy that the French coach lacks.

In addition to striker Rodrygo and titular right-back Carvajal, the Madrid squad will be cut off from its central defenders Sergio Ramos and Varane, his nugget Odegaard and the Ballon d’Or Modric for this part.

Benzema, who has already scored 8 goals with 5 assists, will no doubt be on the bench.
