Racing de Ferrol will host Rayo Vallecano at the Estadio de A Malata on Friday night in the last 32 of the 2024-25 Copa del Rey campaign. The hosts will hope to pick up an unlikely win against a stronger side in their opening game of the year.
Racing Ferrol needed an 86th-minute winner to defeat Primera Federacion side Barakaldo 2-1 in the last round of the Copa del Rey after a comfortable 3-1 win over CD Cuarte in the opening round. They were knocked out by Sevilla at this stage last season and will hope to go a step further on Friday.
Rayo Vallecano are high on confidence heading into the domestic cup fixture thanks to their five-game unbeaten streak that has featured draws against Real Madrid, Villarreal and Real Betis. The visitors, who went out in the last 16 last season, cruised to a 5-0 victory over CD Villamuriel in this season’s opening round but had to fight back from a two-goal deficit to beat Unionistas 3-2 in the next round.
