Albacete is preparing to host Barcelona in the quarterfinals of the Copa del Rey, set to take place at the Estadio Carlos Belmonte on Tuesday.

Albacete enters this fixture on a high, having already knocked out Real Madrid and recording four wins and one draw in their last five matchups across all competitions. Alberto Gonzalez’s men exited the Copa del Rey early last year after falling to CE Europa in the first round, marking a huge improvement this time around.

Barcelona, meanwhile, hits the road as the most decorated club in Copa del Rey history, having lifted the trophy 32 times. The Spaniards are the current reigning champions, after defeating rivals Real Madrid 3-2 in last year’s final.
