Conquense will host Real Sociedad at the La Fuensanta Stadium on Thursday in the opening round of the 2024-25 Copa del Rey campaign. The home side currently ply their trade in the Spanish fourth tier and have struggled for results in recent games. They have a near-impossible task ahead of them in the domestic cup this week.
They picked up a narrow 1-0 victory over Ibiza in their previous round of the competition, with Raul Caballero coming off the bench to score the game-winner midway through the second half.
Real Sociedad have picked up big results in recent games and will head into the cup clash on a high. They put five past Jove Espanol in their cup opener last month, with three different players getting on the scoresheet including Ander Barrenetxea who scored a first-half brace.
The visitors were drawn against Andratx at this stage of the competition last season, picking up a 1-0 win and will be looking to put out a more dominant display this time around.

Sociedad are on a run of back-to-back victories and have won four of their last five matches. They are comfortably the better side ahead of Thursday's game and should win this one fairly easily.
