Levante take on the visitors Atletico Madrid in the round of 1/8-finals of Spanish Copa del Rey. The match will be played on Wednesday, January 18th at Estadi Ciutat de València (Valencia).
On Wednesday, the program will be mainly consist of Spanish teams that will cross in the next round of the country's cup. Levante will face Atlético and the favorite is obvious here, but the visitors from Madrid still need to confirm their status. Levante are now more focused on the fight for a return to La Liga. The Frogs at the very least survived from year to year in La Liga. But it all ended in the last draw, when the team, despite the change of coaches, eventually finished in penultimate place. However, now, with Javier Calleja, it turns out to fight for the fastest possible return to the elite division. So Granada were beaten in the previous round of LaLiga2. At the same time, the hosting side is holding up well in the cup. We can note a strong-willed 3-2 win with Getafe, when at home they conceded first twice, but in the end they scored a winner in the 91st minute!

Atlético obviously need to think about how to save the season. Los colchoneros after the championship in 2021 unexpectedly slowed down a lot. But still, in the last temporade, “El Cholo” was able to at least partially rehabilitate itself by knocking out Manchester United in the playoffs and losing to City in the quarter-finals by 1 goal (0-1 and 0-0). Now this will not happen, the Madrid giants finished in last place in their group in the fall and did not even make it to the Europa League. Of course, Diego Simeone is trying to rectify the situation in the domestic arena. But not everything works out - even Almeria was not beaten in the last round, playing 1-1. But after all, the cup is a chance to win a rather serious trophy. Plus, he continues to be lucky with the draw.
Atlético cannot defeat Levante since 2020. Further, in 4 matches, Levante's victories and draws alternated. Atlético are seen as the pair's favourites, but they are clearly not on track - which is not the case with Levante. We bet on the hosts with a "+1" handicap.
Prediction for the match: Levante to win with +1.0 handicap.
