RC Deportivo vs Atletico Madrid Preview, prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds | Copa del Rey 2025-26

Los Colchoneros haven’t lost to the Brancoazuis in their last 10 meetings.

Deportivo La Coruna are all set to lock horns with Atletico Madrid in their round of 16 contest of the 2025-26 Copa del Rey. Riazor Stadium will witness this entertaining game between these clubs.

The Brancoazuis will be at home and must use it to their advantage to put up a strong fight against Atleti. They have not performed up to the mark in their last three matches and are likely to be under pressure despite being at home. Deportivo La Coruna are likely to struggle in their upcoming Spanish cup contest.

Atletico de Madrid are coming after getting eliminated from the Spanish Super Cup by Real Madrid. They still have a chance to move forward in the Copa del Rey and will be keen to outplay their upcoming opponents. Even though Los Colchoneros will be the visiting side, they will be full of confidence.

Diego Villares (Deportivo La Coruña)

Diego Villares will be looking to step up his game so that he can help his side stand a chance against Atleti. He can control the midfield well and score goals for the hosts. With the ball at his feet, Villares must come up with top plays for his fellow teammates, which is going to be helpful for his side.

Alexander Sorloth (Atlético Madrid)

Alexander Sorloth was the sole goal scorer for his side in the previous game, but it was not enough to get Atletico Madrid to a win. He is going to be one of the main men in the attacking front for the visitors. Sorloth is going to be a constant threat to the opponent’s defence.
