Real Madrid suffered a huge humiliation in Alcorcon a couple weeks ago, when they lost to the local team by big 4:0! Pellegrini found himself in great problems, as the Spanish media already predicted a crisis of results in the Royal club, and a potential coaching change. Before this game, Pellegrini will still be without Cristiano Ronaldo’s help, while Guti, Benzema, Alonso, Casillas, Metzelder and Drenthe will also miss out. Their lineup tonight should be the following: Dudek; Arbeloa, Pepe, Albiol, Marcelo; Diarra, Lass; Higuaín, Kaká; Raúl, Van Nistelrooy.
On the verge of sensation
Alcorcon recorded their best result and created the biggest sensation in their club history, as they won against the most successful Spanish club by 4:0. They totally humiliated them, and boosted enough confidence before the return leg at the Santiago Bernabeu. It’s clear they were saving themselves for the rematch, where they can’t lose by more than 3 goals in order to qualify further. Their last 2 results in the Spanish 3rd division justify that. Alcorcon played well and held their opponents to 1:1, winning 2 points which isn’t so bad considering they’re awaiting a historical match in Madrid. Can the Juan Antonio Anquel’s crew record a huge upset and qualify further? We’re yet to see… According to the local media, the guests will field the following eleven: Juanma; Rubén Sanz, Anaurbe, Iñigo López o Borja Gómez, Nagore; Fernando Béjar, Jeremy, Mora, Ernesto; Borja, More o Bravo.
Upset possible
The odds on the under 4 goals seem more than tempting. Real won’t be fielding their strongest squad and therefore will have a bit harder time recording a convincing win against Alcorcon. I don’t see why the guests wouldn’t keep their goal safe and score over 3 goals, as they managed to keep a clean sheet against Real at home for all 90 minutes. It’s unlikely to expect Real won’t record a win at this match too, but without a few important players they will have a bit harder time. Therefore, I suggest you to bet on the under 4 goals which also might equal to one of the biggest sensation in the Spanish football lately.
