Our prediction for this Copa del Rey match:
Espanyol
Match Time & Date:

Prediction: 1-0
Cadiz
Espanyol will be looking to overcome a one-goal deficit in the Copa del Rey tie against Cadiz when the two teams face each other at RCDE Stadium. Espanyol suffered a 2-1 loss in the first-leg, meaning that a 1-0 win over Cadiz will see them make it to the last 16. It is well known that los Periquitos are a real force to be reckoned with at home and seeing that coach Rubi is likely to field the best possible side in Tuesday’s football match, we predict that the hosts are going to emerge triumphant in the return leg. Cadiz have been in a thrilling form in Segunda Division of late, with the team recording a win in each of their previous six league fixtures, but they will have a big fish to fry in Tuesday’s clash against Espanyol, who are eager to bounce back from a heavy 3-0 loss to Getafe.
Highlighted Player (Diego Lopez):
Diego Lopez is a Spanish goalkeeper who plays for Milan in the Serie A. Lopez was born in Paradela on 3 November, 1981 and he played for Lugo during his youth career. He made two appearances for Lugo at senior level as well, but in 2000 he joined Real Madrid.
The 196-cm-tall shoot-stopper played for both Real Madrid C and Real Madrid B and he made just two appearances for the first team during his first spell at Real Madrid. After spending five seasons at Villarreal (2007-2012) the Spanish goalkeeper played for Sevilla in the 2012/2013 La Liga campaign, but he made no more than eight league appearances for los Sevillanos.
He returned to Real Madrid on January, 2013 and he quickly established himself as a first-team regular, replacing Iker Casillas in the starting XI. However, Real Madrid fans wanted to see Iker between the posts and, as a result, Diego Lopez was forced to join Milan in 2014. Lopez has only one cap for Spain national team.
Highlighted Team (Espanyol):
Espanyol are a Catalan club that plays in Spanish La Liga. Espanyol were founded in 1900 and their original name was Sociedad Espanola de Football. In 1901 the Catalan club changed its name to Club Espanol de Futbol. Los Periquitos used to play in bright yellow shirts in the past, but current colour of the team’s home kit is blue and white.
Espanyol’s fiercest rivals are Barcelona and the two teams face each other in the Catalan derby (Derbi barceloni). Espanyol have always been in Barca’s shadow, but it has to be noted that los Periquitos have won four Copa del Rey (Spanish Cup trophies).
The likes of Raul Tamudo, Jose Maria, Antonio Argiles and Mauricio Pochettino are players with most appearances for the Catalan outfit. Espanyol play their home games at Estadio Cornella-El Prat and the capacity of the stadium is 40,500. Los Periquitos have never participated in the Champions League.
