Contenders in the race for not only the Spanish Cup but also La Liga, Los Rojiblancos start their Cup campaign against FC Cartagena on 24th October.

Five-time winners of the prestigious Cup, Sevilla are a force to be reckoned with under new manager Eduardo Berizzo. The Argentine manager replaced national companion Jorge Sampaoli, who has been given the task of leading the national team at the World Cup.

Lead by Nicolás Pareja, the Sevillistas have started the 2017-2018 season with an organized defence. Conceding just three goals in their first seven league matches, the men from Sevilla are currently ranked second in La Liga, and are bound to put in a tough challenge for the Copa del Rey as well.
