Copa del Rey, the premiere Spanish basketball cup competition, is probably the most awaited out of all events this upcoming weekend. As a result, the Spanish league has surveyed its head coaches and general managers to find out what the people in power in the teams think will rise on top.

The semifinal participants are more than clear, according to respondents. A 100% of all head coaches and GMs see Valencia Basket and Real Madrid advancing past the quarter-final stage of the cup.

Interestingly enough, 11.1% of managers believe that Lenovo Tenerife will beat Joventut, while 5.56% of respondents think that FC Barcelona will be knocked out before the semifinal stage by BAXI Manresa.

Real Madrid and Joventut will therefore be the protagonists of the first semifinal for the vast majority of coaches and general managers, with Barca and Valencia Basket starring in the second duel on Saturday.

The most repeated final is that of Real Madrid against Barca, present in 61% of the brackets, although that of Real Madrid-Valencia Basket is in a considerable 22%.

Who will become the champion of the prestigious tournament? The coaches and general managers have different opinions on the outcome.

Real Madrid leads the predictions with 44%, closely followed by Barcelona (33%). Valencia Basket (17%) and BAXI Manresa (5%) are the other possible champions in sight.

When it comes to who becomes the MVP of the Copa del Rey, a wide range of options opens up to succeed the injured Cory Higgins who became the MVP last year. Nikola Mirotic (28%) and Edy Tavares (22%) lead the forecasts, while Sergio Llull, Guerschon Yabusele, and Jasiel Rivero also receive multiple votes.
