🚨Starting XI revealed: Valencia chase qualification against Maracena | OneFootball

Valencia CF visits the humble UD Maracena today in the first round of the Copa del Rey, a classic "David vs. Goliath" encounter. The match, which will be played at the Estadio Nuevo Los Cármenes in Granada due to high expectations, represents the most important game in the history of the Tercera RFEF club.

Maracena comes into the match on a high after two consecutive victories in their league, led by Puerto Rican Lester Hayes, and sees this clash as a unique opportunity to dream of an upset.

For Valencia, this match is a test with no margin for error. Despite being the clear favorite, the First Division team must approach the game seriously to avoid surprises and unnecessary fatigue. Rotations are expected in the Valencia lineup. The key for the visiting team will be to impose their difference in quality from the start, while Maracena will be looking for a heroic performance in front of their fans.
