Spanish Copa del Rey betting – Real Madrid vs Alcorcon
Real Madrid will be eager for revenge tonight as they welcome third-tier Alcorcon to the Santiago Bernabeu in the Copa del Rey. Under normal circumstances Real Madrid fans worldwide would take for granted not only a win, but a very comfortable win, against such a side. However, these are troubling times for Los Merengues, who have won only two of their previous six games and two weeks ago lost 4-0 to the very minnows they face tonight. They will be boosted by the fact that they won their last game against Atletico, but their rivals are not the force they once were with only one win all season, and the narrow margin of victory can only be a concern for the famous men in white.
