Match preview

Will Sevilla remain on track for a first Copa del Rey success since 2010?

So far in this season’s competition, los Nervionenses have easily seen off both Velarde and then Juventud de Torremolinos, advancing 2-0 and 3-0 respectively.

However, in La Liga, Jorge Sampaoli’s side continue to struggle, only managing a 1-1 draw at Celta de Vigo on Friday.

Kike Salas equalising at Balaídos, before fellow centre-back José Ángel Carmona was sent off late on.

Sevilla are now winless in six league matches, meaning they remain in the relegation zone.

So, Linares will believe a huge upset is possible.

In this competition, Azulillos have so far overcome Unión Adarve and Racing de Santander to reach the third round for a second successive season.

Here, will Linares enjoy an historic victory, or will Sevilla’s quality ensure they avoid a huge upset at Estadio de Linarejos?
