The Sant Andreu comes to this day motivated, after having added a 2-0 victory at the reception to the Sants. We emphasize that the locals are currently playing the fourth division of Spanish football. In this reception at Atlético de Madrid, coach Mikel Azparren must maintain the usual tactical design, that is, the 4-2-3-1, with Kuku being the most offensive reference of the team: this player is very powerful and exempt at the time to finish. For this duel the local coach can count on all his players.
Atlético Madrid:
The visiting team will make its debut in this edition of the Copa del Rey with the intention of conquering a positive result, taking advantage of the home factor. The team comes to this match after a home win against Real Sociedad by (2-0). In the last 10 away matches Atlético Madrid has won 4, tied 4 and lost 2. Their offense has scored frequently, since they have scored goals in 8 of the last 10 matches. In 15 games, they only got 1 comeback in the 5 games in which they suffered the first goal.
Atletico Madrid started for this match with a 2-0 victory at the reception to Real Sociedad, returning to the triumphs after two games in a row without tasting the victory in several competitions. In this visit to the land of Sant Andreu, coach Diego Simeone must use a more offensive strategy, with a high block, exploring any space to apply the attack. The French Antoine Griezmann is one of the highlights of the visitors, being the best score, with 2 goals scored. For this game the coach has the absence of José Giménez, due to an injury.
