The Copa del Rey match between Arosa and Granada will take place at Estadio A Lomba on Thursday at 11:30 pm IST.
Granada is looking to break a seven-game streak without a win as they travel to Galicia for their Copa del Rey match against Arosa on Thursday. The hosts, who compete in the fifth tier of the league, aim to achieve a major upset in this first-round fixture.
Arosa is set to make their first appearance in Spain’s premier cup competition since the 1993-94 season. They earned a place in the main draw through their performance in the 2022-23 season, finishing second in Group 1 of the Tercera Federacion with 58 points from 30 matches. While they initially struggled in the new campaign, collecting just two points from their first four matches, Arosa has gained momentum with a four-game unbeaten run, including a recent 2-0 victory over Betanzos, ahead of Thursday’s Copa del Rey match.
Granada, after earning promotion to La Liga, has struggled to adapt to top-flight football, winning just one of their 11 league matches and finding themselves in the relegation zone. Their only victory came on matchday three against Mallorca, leaving them winless for over two months. In their last eight matches, they’ve managed just three points and come into the upcoming cup game following consecutive losses to Osasuna and Villarreal. Granada attempted a comeback in their recent clash against Villarreal but couldn’t equalize. With 28 goals conceded in 11 matches, they see the midweek cup match as an opportunity for their first clean sheet this season.
Arosa probable starting lineup: Taboas, Pedreira, Cotilla, Pacheco, M. Sanchez, Mella, Concheiro, Enjamio, Martinez, Diz, Borjita
Granada probable starting lineup: Lopez, Manafa, Diaz, Bosch, Neva, Callejon, Ruiz, Petrovic, Perea, Diedhiou, Weissman
