Parla Escuela host Valencia at the Olympic Stadium Municipal Antonio Dominguez on Tuesday in the opening round of the Copa del Rey. Valencia are eight-time winners of the competition.
Parla beat Sonseca 1-0 in extra time in the preliminary round in October, with David Greciano scoring the winner in the first half of extra time. Valencia, meanwhile, are in the drop zone in La Liga.
They, however, marked their return to action on Saturday with a 4-2 home win over Real Betis. Three different players scored, including Hugo Duro, who netted a brace to snap a five-game goal drought.
Valencia had opened their cup campaign last season with a 2-0 win over Logrones.
