Match preview
Valencia got all the way to last season’s Copa del Rey Final, beaten on penalties, so will they remain on course for another visit to Estadio de La Cartuja?
As last season’s runners-up, los Murciélagos enter in this round, but could be vulnerable to an upset.
That’s because, in La Liga, Gennaro Gattuso’s team are tenth, following a 2-1 defeat to Villarreal in Derbi de la Comunitat on New Year’s Eve.
Nevertheless, los Che do come into this tie as favourites to reach the last 16.
Hosts La Nucía are from Primera Federación, Spain’s third-tier, are are competing in the third round for the first time ever.
To get this far, César Ferrando’s side have overcome Hércules in extra time and then Las Palmas after a penalty shootout.
