Copa del Rey Betting Preview: Albacete vs Barcelona

La Liga 2 team Albacete host La Liga giants Barcelona at Estadio Carlos Belmonte in this Copa del Rey quarter-final, with kick-off set for 15:00 on Tuesday 3 February.

We expect Barcelona to beat Albacete comfortably. We’ll therefore take the visitors -2 on the Asian Handicap at odds of -127 which means cash back if the Blaugranes win by two and a nice return if the winning margin is bigger.

Albacete, who sit 12th in La Liga 2, are aiming for a second consecutive giant-killing after knocking out Real Madrid in the previous round.

Last time out, Albacete were victorious, securing a 2–0 home win over Real Zaragoza at the Estadio Carlos Belmonte. The Castile–La Mancha team had just 38% possession and recorded three shots on target, with Agus Medina and Jefte Betancor scoring one goal apiece.

La Liga leaders Barcelona claimed a 3–1 away victory over Elche at the Estadio Martínez Valero in their previous game. The Blaugranes had eight shots on goal and enjoyed 61% possession, with Lamine Yamal, Ferran Torres and Marcus Rashford on the scoresheet.

When last playing in the Copa del Rey, Barca beat La Liga 2 leaders Racing Club Santander 2-0 away.
