National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Cacereño or Real Madrid that keep their silverware dream alive.
Real Madrid could be less fresh than the hosts in this fixture, as they played a La Liga game only four sleeps ago. That game was also an away game, at Real Valladolid. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.
