Alcoyano are set to play host to Real Madrid at the Estadio El Collao on Wednesday in the round of 32 of the Copa del Rey.
Alcoyano come into this game on the back of a 0-0 draw against Hercules on Sunday in the Segunda Division B. Hercules are three points ahead of Alcoyano in the league table, and the result could prove to be crucial, with Hercules second and Alcoyano third.
Real Madrid, on the other hand, lost 2-1 to Marcelino's Athletic Bilbao on Friday in the semi-final of the Spanish Super Cup.
A first-half brace from former Atletico Madrid attacker and Spain international Raul Garcia secured the win for Athletic Bilbao. Veteran French striker Karim Benzema scored the consolation goal for Los Blancos.
