Real Madrid just ended 2022 with a 2-0 victory at Villadolid. However, they still have to be behind the great rival on the La Liga table. In the first match of 2023, Los Blancos will face Cacereno in the round of 16 of the King's Cup.
Although coach Ancelotti can rest some pillars like Thibaut Courtois, Toni Kroos or Karim Benzema, the visitors' force is still too strong for a Cacereno without any notable players.
This can also be seen as a rare opportunity for reserve players like Álvaro Odriozola, Jesús Vallejo, Mariano Diaz, Dani Ceballos ... to prove themselves, to score points with the Italian teacher.
Cacereno of course is not worthy of Real Madrid's opponent, no matter how the "White Vulture" starts with the squad. They are just a team that is playing in the fourth division, and have been playing quite unevenly in recent times. In that situation, it wouldn't be surprising if Real Madrid walked away with a huge victory.
Asian ratio (2 1/4:0): Real Madrid is very reliable away from home when only losing the last 2/9 matches, the rest drew 1, lost 6. Meanwhile, Cacereno lost 2/3 of the match. The last match was handicapped with 2 or more goals.
O/U ratio (3 1/4): The Cacereno confrontation is considered an opportunity for Real Madrid's reserve strikers to show their ability to score. Of course, the poor quality defense of the home team can hardly stop the white shirt strikers. It is advisable to choose a milestone above the total table level set by the TLCA team.
