Sat Jan 04 19:30:00 UTC 2025: ## Atlético de Madrid Faces David vs. Goliath Battle Against Marbella in Copa del Rey
**Marbella, Spain** – The 2025 Copa del Rey continues this Saturday, January 4th, with a highly anticipated clash between La Liga giants Atlético de Madrid and Segunda Federación side Marbella FC in the Round of 32.
Atlético, under manager Diego Simeone, are seeking their first Copa del Rey title since 2013. They arrive as strong favorites, having overcome Vic and Cacereño in earlier rounds. Marbella, currently 12th in their group, have already pulled off upsets against Bergantiños and Borgos to reach this stage.
History favors Atlético, having previously defeated Marbella twice in the Copa del Rey (2009: 0-2 and 6-0). However, Marbella will be hoping to cause an upset and face a formidable challenge against Atlético’s projected starting lineup, featuring players like Griezmann and Sorloth. Marbella will counter with their own lineup hoping to make the most of this historic opportunity.
Fans can watch the match live on Sky Sports and stream it via DirecTV Sports. Mediotiempo will provide a post-match recap and report. Betting odds are available through RushBet, though these are subject to change.
