Copa Del Rey QF Preview: Madrid Have To Score

Vicente Del Bosque is set to strengthen his Copa Del Rey side for the quarter final visit to Mallorca after Real Madrid's second string drew 1-1 in the first leg last week.

The Merengues' coach was scolded after the European champions failed to impress in the Bernabeu, even though Roberto Carlos and Ronaldo were in the starting line-up.

But Del Bosque will name Ivan Helguera, Zinedine Zidane and Raul in his initial team as Madrid go to Son Moix knowing they have to score.

The inclusion of Santiago Solari and Fernando Morientes in Madrid's squad came as a surprise, while Tote has been left behind as the club look for a last-minute deal to sell him.

Mallorca will not have forgotten the 5-1 pasting they received off El Real on the same ground in the league this season, but are still going to rely on a flat back four.

The Balearic Islanders' boss, Gregorio Manzano, has his strongest eleven ready and will not need to remind striker Walter Pandiani that any more rash tackles could cost his side a place in the semi finals.

In the league outing, the on-loan forward was sent off for a harsh tackle on Luis Figo and will be under strict instructions to curb his behaviour this time.

Osasuna coach, Javier Aguirre, is confident that his reserve players can take Osasuna into the last four of the Copa Del Rey for the first time in their history.

The Navarrese outfit meet Sevilla in El Sadar with the score locked at 1-1 after the first leg in Andalucia last week.

Vinny Samways will make way for Juanmi in midfield as Sevilla trainer Joaquin Caparros prepares to name his strongest side for the outing.
