Prediction: Barcelona Wins
Albacete have faced off with two La Liga sides on their way to the quarter-finals. They obviously prevailed in those matches and scored four times. Their most recent one was against Real Madrid, and they will hope for some inspiration from it.
Albacete will also bank on their good scoring run coming into this game, coupled with Barcelonaâs recent defensive lows. It has been over 20 years since these two sides last faced off, but Barcelona have six straight wins in this fixture. They are favorites to win here too. Our prediction for Albacete v Barcelona is for Barcelona to win and BTTS.

While Albacete have never been beyond the semis, Barcelona are the most decorated club in Copa del Rey history.
The La Liga giants, last yearâs winners, are seeking a 33rd such trophy as they continue battling on three different fronts. Barca have already won the Super Cup.
They arrive for this encounter after a 3-1 comeback win against Elche, their fourth straight victory. While their strength isnât in question, Barcelona haven't managed many clean sheets in the last few matches. Only one of five has had a shutout, and twice in the process they conceded two goals.
