Toledo will face Sevilla at the Estadio Salto del Caballo on Tuesday in the first round of the 2025-26 Copa del Rey campaign. The home side have enjoyed a strong start to their season in the Tercera Federación, the fifth tier of Spanish football, and will be looking to test their mettle against a top-flight team in the domestic cup this week.
They last appeared in the Copa del Rey back in the 2017-18 campaign but were knocked out in the very first round after losing 1-0 on the road to Talavera.
Sevilla headed into the international break earlier in the month on the back of a remarkable 4-1 victory over champions Barcelona. They have, however, suffered two defeats upon returning to action over the past week and will welcome the cup tie on Tuesday as an occasion to regain their footing in what should be a comfortable game.
They faced Las Rozas in their Copa del Rey opener last season and won 3-0, taking the lead in the first half through an own goal before the now-departed Kelechi Iheanacho sealed the victory with a second-half brace.

Toledo vs Sevilla Prediction
Toledo are on a run of back-to-back victories and have lost just one competitive game all season. They are, however, massive underdogs heading into the midweek clash and will mainly look to keep the scoreline civil.
Los Nervionenses are by far the stronger side ahead of Tuesday's game and will only need to avoid complacency to come away with a comfortable victory.
