Arandina VS Real Madrid live preview Copa del Rey

Arandina：

La Arandina earned promotion from Tercera Federacion to Segunda Federacion in the previous season. However, the current campaign has been challenging, with the team sitting at the bottom of Group 1 with 10 points. They have managed two wins, four draws, and 10 losses from their 16 league matches so far.Considering their performance this season, it comes as a significant surprise that Alex Izquierdo's side has reached this stage of the Copa del Rey. This marks a noteworthy achievement as it is their best-ever performance in the competition. In the earlier rounds of this season's tournament, Arandina secured a 1-0 victory against Real Murcia and notably claimed a La Liga scalp in the last round, defeating Cadiz 2-1.

Real Madrid：

Real Madrid has been in excellent form this season, winning 15, drawing three, and losing one of their 19 league matches, placing them at the top of the table with 48 points. Remarkably, they share the same point tally with second-placed Girona, leading on the head-to-head record. Moreover, they have established a considerable 10-point gap over third-placed Atletico Madrid and fourth-placed Barcelona.While the Copa del Rey may be a lower priority compared to La Liga and the Champions League this season, Real Madrid holds the title after defeating Osasuna 2-1 in last year's final. This victory marked their 20th triumph in the competition's history.

Analysis：

Arandina's head coach, Izquierdo, may opt for a similar starting XI that took the field against Cadiz in the previous round of the Copa del Rey. Expect a 3-4-3 formation with Haji Ceesay at left-back, who has contributed two goals from that position during the current campaign.In the attacking third, Ayoub El Battioui might get the nod on the left, with the leading goalscorer, Alfredo Sualdea, operating as the center-forward.For Real Madrid, Dani Carvajal and Vinicius Junior returned from injury against Mallorca, and there's a chance Arda Guler could make his debut. Changes are expected from the Mallorca game, with Brahim Diaz, Joselu, Dani Ceballos, Lucas Vazquez, Alvaro Carrillo, and Nico Paz in line for starts. Additionally, Kepa Arrizabalaga could return to the goalkeeping position.
