Copa del Rey predictions

The Copa del Rey is Spain’s biggest domestic cup competition, giving clubs from every level of football in the country the opportunity to win a major piece of silverware – and to qualify for Europe – every season.

It is Spain’s oldest national football competition, having been founded in 1903, and as a straight knockout tournament, there is no margin for error.

The chances of upsets are aided by the fact that lower-level teams are automatically drawn at home, and while the traditional big boys naturally dominate the history of the competition, there is also a rich history full of shocks and giant-killings.
