The draw for the second round of the Copa del Rey has determined the next matches for Almería and Atlético de Madrid. Almería will face SS Reyes, from the Segunda Federación, on Tuesday, December 5th, while Atlético de Madrid will face CP Cacereño, from the 4th division, on Wednesday, December 6th. Both teams come into these matches with great confidence and ambition, with Almería maintaining an eight-game unbeaten streak and Atlético de Madrid looking to continue its good run in the competition.
After nearly a month of waiting due to the impact of the DANA weather phenomenon, which caused the postponement of several matches in the Valencian Community, the draw for the second round of the Copa del Rey has finally been made. Now, Almería and Atlético de Madrid know who they will face in the next stage of the competition.
Almería, who beat SS Reyes 2-1 in the first round of the Copa del Rey, comes into the match in excellent form. Rubi's team, unbeaten in eight matches across all competitions, starts as favorites, but will need to remain focused to avoid surprises, as SS Reyes will try to do its best to overcome its La Liga opponent.
Meanwhile, Atlético de Madrid, after beating UE Vic in the first round, will face CP Cacereño, a club from the Spanish 4th division. Simeone's team, the overwhelming favorite, knows it can't underestimate Cacereño, who have demonstrated their ability to surprise in previous competitions. Atlético will look to secure their place in the next round with a solid victory, but Cacereño will be looking to make history with their participation.
Both teams have their sights set on another major title and will face their opponents with the goal of advancing to the later stages of the competition. The draw, which brought together interesting matchups, promises great excitement and an opportunity for lower-division clubs to showcase their mettle against the elite of Spanish football.
