Elche CF already knows its opponent in the next round of the Copa del Rey. The journey will take the team from the palm tree city to an Andalusian town roughly 350 kilometers away. The road trip is typically a little over four hours by car, but the exact travel plan depends on road conditions and vehicle choices. Beccacece’s squad earned this stage by knocking out Barcelona from Europa League competition, a victory that boosted their confidence and sharpened their approach for the upcoming clash.
