Ibiza vs. Barcelona
Quique Setien passed his first test as the new Barcelona manager on Sunday when he oversaw a 1-0 home win against Granada.
Lionel Messi scored the only goal in the 76th minute after German Sanchez had been sent off for a second bookable offence:
Gary Lineker @GaryLineker
Winning start for Setién at @FCBarcelona. New coach, new style, new era at Nou Camp: same old match-winner: Messi, naturally.
Wednesday's meeting with Ibiza at the Estadi Municipal de Can Misses will be an interesting test for Setien as he will not be able to gain any real credit regardless of the result, but a poor performance will be criticised.
He is likely to ring the changes given Ibiza's significant inferiority and Saturday's upcoming La Liga game against Valencia.
The Blaugrana sit top of La Liga but only on goal difference:
LaLiga @LaLigaEN
Barça's win keeps them top of #LaLigaSantander. 🔝
The competition between @FCBarcelona and @realmadriden could not be stronger. 👊 https://t.co/YOur3Ggy0k
Ibiza, meanwhile, are third in Group 1 of Segunda Division B. To get this far in the Copa, they have beaten Pontevedra and Albacete.
Ibiza manager Pablo Alfaro is a former Barcelona player and also played at Racing Santander alongside Setien in the mid-1990s.
Even a second-string Barcelona side should brush Ibiza aside. As ever in a lopsided match of this nature, the opening goal will be crucial for the visitors, as Ibiza will make themselves difficult to break down in the hope of frustrating Barca.
Prediction: Ibiza 0-4 Barcelona
Unionistas Salamanca vs. Real Madrid
Real have enjoyed a superb 2020 so far. They have beaten Getafe and Sevilla in La Liga and won the Spanish Super Cup.
Like Barca, Los Blancos are likely to play a weakened team against Unionistas, who only came into existence in 2013 after UD Salamanca became defunct.
However, Zinedine Zidane will take no risks when it comes to getting through the third round.
The Super Cup victory was the Frenchman's first trophy since returning to the manager's role at the Santiago Bernabeu and continued his remarkable record in finals:
B/R Football @brfootball
Nine finals for Zinedine Zidane as Real Madrid boss.
Nine wins 💪 https://t.co/J8RAJ1OQ76
Real have not made a Copa del Rey final since 2014, when they last won the competition thanks to a 2-1 victory over Barcelona.
And after a disappointing 2018-19 season, Real will be aiming to pick up every trophy they can this season.
That is bad news for Unionistas, as there should not be any complacency on Real's part.
The Salamanca outfit caused a shock in the last round, though, when they knocked out Deportivo La Coruna. A repeat result is not likely to happen.
Prediction: Unionistas Salamanca 1-3 Real Madrid
