Copa del Rey Preview: Sevilla-Real Madrid

Sevilla have it all to do at the Sanchez Pizjuan after last week's 2-0 Copa del Rey semi-final first-leg defeat to Real Madrid.

Goals from Santiago Solari and Raul have put Real in the ascendency, but coach Carlos Quieroz will know that there'll be no room for complacency when the players take to the pitch on Wednesday night.

Sevilla are a tough proposition at the best of times, but will be particularly motivated to cause a shock against Spain's most successful club.

Joaquin Caparrós' side showed that there is life after Jose Antonio Reyes on Sunday when they saw off Mallorca 3-0. Julio Baptista got on the score sheet in that match, and the Brazilian they call 'The Beast' has been one of La Liga's revelations since his move from Sao Paolo in the summer. His lung-bursting runs and powerful finishes will not have escaped the attention of some of Europe's bigger clubs.

Real remain two points clear in La Liga after their 2-1 win over Malaga at the Bernabeu on Saturday. It was never as close as the score line suggests, with the visitors rarely testing Iker Casillas.

Queiroz should make three changes for this match, with Caesar, Helguera and Guti replacing Casillas, Pavon and Borja.

PROBABLE LINE-UPS

Sevilla: Esteban, Alves, Javi Navarro, Pablo Alfaro, David, Gallardo, Martí, Baptista, Antonio López, Antoñito, Darío Silva.

Real Madrid: César, Michel Salgado, Helguera, Bravo, Roberto Carlos, Figo, Guti, Beckham, Zidane, Raúl, Ronaldo.
