Copa del Rey Betting Odds & Lines - Bet on Spanish Cup

The Copa del Rey is a soccer tournament that features club teams throughout Spain. It’s also known as the Spanish Cup or the King’s Cup. Unlike La Liga or the other divisions in Spain, the Copa del Rey is a single-elimination knockout competition. Each year, there are over 100 teams from all levels of the Spanish football hierarchy competing in the Copa del Rey.

King’s Cup betting is available at Stake Sportsbook , which is among the most reputable betting sites. However, as a knockout competition with over 100 teams participating, it’s a good idea to learn more about the Copa del Rey before betting on it. With a proper betting guide like this, you can learn everything you need to know about Spanish Cup betting before you place a wager on any Copa del Rey match.

What is the Copa del Rey?

The Copa del Rey is the most important cup competition in Spanish football. Club teams in the first six levels of the Spanish football hierarchy participate, including both pro and semi-pro teams. The winner of the competition, in addition to winning a trophy and earning a prestigious honor, qualifies for the Europa League and the Spanish Super Cup the following season.

History of the Copa del Rey

The first Copa del Rey was played in 1903. It was a continuation of the 1902 Copa de la Coronación, which was a competition created for Spanish football to celebrate the coronation of King Alfonso XIII. Before the creation of La Liga in 1929, the winner of the Copa del Rey was considered the champion of Spain. In the history of the competition, FC Barcelona has won the Copa del Rey more times than any other club, doing so 31 times. Other traditional Spanish powerhouse clubs like Real Madrid, Athletic Bilbao, Real Sociedad, and Valencia have also had great success in the Copa del Rey.

Format & Schedule of Copa del Rey

The Copa del Rey follows a single-elimination format, meaning only half of the participants of each round advance to the next round. However, not all participating teams enter the competition at the same time. Some teams, most notably those participating in the Spanish Super Cup , get a bye to the later rounds of the competition. By the round of 32, all teams have entered the competition.

During the Copa del Rey, the teams from the lowest divisions in the Spanish hierarchy face teams from La Liga, which is the top league in Spain. In the quarterfinals and semifinals, lower-level teams are no longer paired with La Liga teams; the matchups are decided at random. Also, the semifinal is the only stage of the tournament that involves a two-leg playoff between the teams rather than a single match.

2025 Copa del Rey Fixtures

The 2025 Copa del Rey schedule began in October 2024 with the preliminary round. The first round proper was also played in October, and the second round was played in December. The round of 32 and round of 16 were both played in January 2025, with the quarterfinals played in early February. The first leg of the semifinals was played in late February, with the second leg scheduled for early April. The final of the 2024-25 Copa del Rey is scheduled for April 28 in Seville.

How to Bet on Spanish Soccer & Football Bet Types

The betting markets for Copa del Rey matches are similar to betting on soccer in other competitions. At Stake Sportsbook, you will find Copa del Rey futures bets for the eventual winner. You will also find several types of bets on individual matches, including:

  • Moneyline - A moneyline bet is a wager on the winner and loser of a game.

  • 1x2 - Since soccer has three possible outcomes, Spanish Cup odds must reflect the possibility of a draw. However, a penalty shootout may be needed to determine which team advances.

  • Asian Totals - This is a type of over/under betting for the total goals scored in a match. However, bets with Asian totals use increments of .25 rather than .5. For example, if you bet over 2.75 total goals, half of your bet is on over 2.5 goals, while the other half of your bet is on over 3 goals.

  • Handicap - A handicap bet is the same as betting with a spread. With this type of bet, the favoured team must win by a certain margin. If they don’t cover that margin, the underdog will win the bet, even if they lose the game.

  • Halftime/Fulltime - This is a two-part bet in which a wager is made on what team will lead at halftime (or if the game will be tied at halftime) and what team will win (or if the match will end in a tie).

  • Both Teams to Score - This is a bet that both teams will score at least 1 goal in a match.

  • Correct Score - It’s possible to make Copa del Rey predictions on the exact score at the end of a match.

  • 1st Goal - This is a wager on what team will score the first goal of a match.

  • Double Chance - Since soccer matches have three possible outcomes, a double-chance wager allows bettors to cover two of the three outcomes. Of course, since this improves the chances of a winning bet, the payout is lower with this type of bet.

At Stake, you’ll be able to look at odds in American, fractional, and decimal formats . You can choose the format you prefer and then decide if the odds and payout make that a worthwhile wager.

Soccer & Football Betting Tips, Predictions & Strategies

Before you bet on any Copa del Rey matches or look at winner betting odds on the eventual winner of the competition, it’s best to have a plan in place. Many sports bettors follow a specific strategy like the Kelly Criterion System to help guide their picks and bet within their means. You can also devise your own system of betting that fits your specific style. Of course, there are also a few things to keep in mind before you bet on the Copa del Rey:

  • Avoid betting on games if you’re not familiar with both teams. You should always know the personnel, tactical styles, and strengths and weaknesses of both sides so you understand how they match up against one another.

  • Read recent news articles about both teams to see if there are any injuries or suspensions to key players who won’t be playing in the game.

  • Look closely at each team’s recent results to determine how they have performed lately. Some teams might be in the midst of a slump or a hot streak that could influence your betting choices.
