After passing the Ponferrada test, Real Sociedad took a step forward with the goal of being in the Cartuja finals on April 26 and lifting the title, as it happened in 2021. But first of all, it remains to know What the next obstacle in this path. txuri urdin’s name will be on one of the balls to be drawn in the Cup round of 16 draw that will be held this Wednesday at the Luis Aragonés assembly hall in Las Rozas (1 pm) and can be followed live on Movistar+ , Teledeporte or the official channels of RFEF.
Match dates
Matches corresponding to the round of 16 will be played on January 14, 15 and 16, although with Real playing next Monday against Villarreal, all indications are that the Cup match will be on Thursday next week .
Possible rivals
The draw will work as follows. The 11 First Division teams (Real Sociedad, Getafe, Rayo, Osasuna, Betis, Barcelona, Athletic, Atlético, Celta, Leganés and Real Madrid) will form pot one, where there may be another team if eliminated by Eldense is Valencia. In the event that the Alicante team defeats Chés, there will be three Second Division squads in pot two, consisting, at the moment, of Elche and Almería. In the third pot is Ourense, a First RFEF team, and in the fourth, Pontevedra, the only survivor of the Second RFEF. In five of the eight games, the LaLiga team will visit the home of the minor rival and in the three remaining games, which could be four if Valencia go through, two Primera will face each other.
The most affordable thing for txuri urdin is to avoid a rival in the First Division, and in case of playing against a team of the same category, avoid the balls of Atlético, Real Madrid or Barcelona. Although Imanol’s men have already shown that they do not give up against big rivals, as happened in the previous qualifying rounds against two teams from the capital.
