Club football resumes in Spain after the 2022 World Cup break and Atletico Madrid are set to take on CD Arentiero in round two of the Copa del Rey on Thursday.
Diego Simeone's men have won just one of their last seven competitive matches and will be eager to start off after the mid-season break on a winning note. They beat Almazan 2-0 in the first round of the Copa del Rey but it was not a convincing display from Diego Simeone's side.
On the other hand, Almazan beat top-flight opposition Almeria in the previous round to set up a date with Atleti. They are in the Segunda Federacion and haven't been able to climb higher than the fourth tier of the Spanish football pyramid since the 1980s. They will be eyeing another upset against an Atletico side seeking to rediscover their spark in the second half of the season.
