Copa del Rey Betting Preview: Albacete vs Real Madrid

La Liga 2 club Albacete host La Liga giants Real Madrid in this Copa del Rey round of 16 encounter at Estadio Carlos Belmonte, with kick-off set for 15:00 on Wednesday 14 January.

An Asian Handicap wager on Real Madrid -1.75 at -122 means we require a win by more than two goals for a full return. Our stake will be split between -1.5 and -2.0 when Los Merengues clash with Albacete and we’re expecting a sizeable victory.

Albacete played out a 0-0 La Liga 2 draw in their last game. This was away from home at Instalaciones de Zubieta against Real Sociedad B. Alberto Gonzalez's side enjoyed 52% possession and had three shots on target.

Real Madrid won their previous league game which was at home. It was a 5-1 triumph at Santiago Bernabéu against Real Betis. Los Merengues managed nine shots on goal and enjoyed 61% possession, while Gonzalo Garcia was on target with a hat-trick.

On Sunday, Real lost 3-2 to Barcelona in the Spanish Super Cup final at King Abdullah Sport City Stadium in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Real were restricted to 29% possession and had eight shots on target, with Vinícius Júnior and Gonzalo García on the scoresheet.

In their previous Copa del Rey matches, Albacete claimed a penalty shootout win (2-2 AET) when hosting Celta Vigo, with Real claiming a 3-2 away success against Talavera de la Reina.
