Cacereno vs Atletico Madrid Prediction and Betting Tips | December 5th 2024

Cacereno will host Atletico Madrid at the Principe Felipe on Thursday in the opening round of the 2024-25 Copa del Rey campaign. The home side are enjoying a strong run of form in the Spanish fourth tier this season and have a historic contest ahead of them this week as they play host to one of the nation's powerhouses.

They were drawn against Gimnastica in the opening round of the competition in late October and won 2-1, with Fernando Perez opening the scoring less than 10 minutes after kick-off before Christian Martinez netted the winner from the spot in extra time.

Atletico Madrid are on a brilliant run of form and will be looking to carry that momentum into their cup action this week. They coasted to a 2-0 win over Vic in their cup opener, with former Manchester City man Julian Alvarez coming off the bench to score a late brace for the Rojiblancos.

The visitors are 10-time winners of the Copa del Rey, although they have failed to lift the cup title in over a decade and will be looking to snap that streak this season.
