Perhaps a welcome break from league football as Rincón & Espanyol face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the Copa Del Rey. All the pre-match information is available here!
It's quite the trip for Espanyol when visiting Rincón as the cities are 900 kilometers apart.
It's no vacation for neither Rincón nor Espanyol as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
