Deportivo La Coruña vs Atletico Madrid: Match Prediction
Deportivo La Coruña have already matched their best cup performance in nine years, including a win over Mallorca from La Liga. Although the team has often exited in early rounds in previous years, even in those defeats the home side regularly fought hard and kept the contest alive until the final minutes. As evidence, Deportivo La Coruña have not lost by more than one goal in six consecutive national cup matches.
Atletico Madrid began their cup run with a hard-fought victory, which is a familiar pattern for Diego Simeone's squad. The club often reach the late stages, but sometimes lack the necessary depth. Even as clear favorites, the visitors can face difficulties at any moment. Notably, Atletico Madrid beat opponents by a margin of two goals or more in only 3 of their last 11 Copa del Rey matches.
Prediction: Deportivo La Coruña (+1.5)
