Real Madrid take on the visitors Numancia at “Estadio Santiago Bernabeu” in the reverse fixture of the 1/8 final stage of the Spanish Copa del Rey. The game will be played in Madrid on Wednesday, January 10th.
Real Madrid show rather unconvincing performance in this season, having gained only 17 points in nine encounters played in face of their fans. The club’s offense has scored 19 goals already which is quite a suitable result while its defense cannot boast with the same level of football, having conceded nine goals so far. In the recent matches conducted at “Estadio Santiago Bernabeu” “Merengues” have lost to Barcelona 0:3, destroyed Sevilla 5:0 and broke Borussia Dortmund 3:2. In the previous round of the Copa del Rey Real Madrid passed through Fuenlabrada with 4:2 scoreline by the aggregated outcome of two battles.

Numancia participated in 10 away fights within the LaLiga2. The team got two triumphs and five draws, having scored 11 goals which is a proof of enough solid play in attack. At the same time, defense is not in its best shape, having conceded 15 goals so far. In their latest games conducted on the road Numancia recorded 2:2 draw against Osasuna, 3:2 victory over Valladolid and 1:3 defeat from Real Oviedo. The club has knocked out Real Oviedo, Sporting Gijon and Malaga on the previous stages of the Copa del Rey.
It goes without saying that Numancia have miserable chances for the further promotion within the Copa as Real Madrid succeeded in the first-leg battle with 3:0 scoreline. The upcoming visitors will give a fight to “Merengues” in the name of their dignity, however, they are unlikely to claim even for a draw. The hosts are the favourites of the upcoming head-to-head and some other result with the exception of their triumph will become a real sensation.
Prediction for the match: Real Madrid to win with -2.0 Asian handicap.
