Last season, the meringues were eliminated from the tournament by the Alcoi club
Alcoyano and Real Madrid face off this Wednesday, at 5:30 pm (GMT) at El Collao stadium, in Alcoi, for the second round of the Copa del Rey. Isolated leader in La Liga, the merengue team is a strong favorite for the logo game most. However, Spain’s third division team is trying to repeat the feat last season, when, in a comeback, it eliminated the powerful Madrid team.
For this match, Carlos Ancelotti will have important absences. In the medical department are Benzema, Modrid and Mendy. Besides them, Vinícius Júnior continues to recover after testing positive for Covid-19. On the other hand, the team may have Marcelo, Nacho, Vazquez and Eden Hazard.
Alcoyano is not living a good moment in the season. The team lost the last three games for the third division of Spain. However, in the Copa del Rey, the team managed to defeat Levante on penalties and qualified for the second phase of the tournament. For the match, coach Vicente Parras does not have Angel Lopez, who is suspended after being sent off against Levante.
