Kick-off : 9:00 PM (Local)
Venue : La Romareda, Zaragoza
Real Madrid are top of La Liga at the moment and are looking to win the Copa del Rey.
In the Copa del Rey they overcame Unionistas challenge in the round of 32 as they now play Zaragoza.
It should be a tricky away game. But Real should have enough for the opponents ideally.
Zinedine Zidane should play a strong team and they will attack Zaragoza from the outset. If they defend well they win.
On the other hand, Zaragoza are doing well in the Segunda Division and they will be looking to convert those goods in the Copa del Rey.
Los Manos overcame Mallorca in the round of 32 and they must face Real Madrid now.
It should be a tough ordeal for the players to play Real Madrid but they will have to and come up with the goods if they hope progression.
Victor Fernandez will try to come up with tactics of containing Real Madrid and be able to hit on counters.
