Cacereno vs Real Madrid: Predictions, tips & betting odds

The Spanish and European champions begin their Copa Del Rey campaign on the road at one of the lowest ranked teams in the tournament

Real Madrid begin their Copa Del Rey campaign on Tuesday evening with Carlo Ancelotti's men facing a trip to fourth tier Cacereno.

While Los Blancos have numerous league and European titles over the last few years, Spain's domestic cup competition has proved elusive for them with their triumphs in 2011 and 2014 the only time they have lifted the trophy in the last 30 years.

Cacereno vs Real Madrid preview

Madrid will naturally make changes to the starting eleven given the hectic schedule which awaits them over the next two months and the side which lines up on Tuesday evening is likely to bear little resemblance to the one which won at Valladolid in La Liga on Friday.

Players like Eden Hazard, Nacho Fernandez, Dani Ceballos and Lucas Vazquez may not be regulars in the Madrid side but all are international players capable of helping Madrid to a victory.

Opposing a high scoring game however should be of interest and this looks like it will be a match where Los Blancos will get the job done rather than blow away the opposition.
