The visitors come into the second leg with a two goal advantage after winning the first tie 2-0 at home at the Santiago Bernabeu.
Real Madrid were totally dominant in their league tie on Sunday, scoring all five goals in the first half. While the Castillan's will be hoping for more of the same, Los Che will be keen to overturn the 2-0 deficit in order to reach the semi-finals.
Roberto Soldado will be missing on Wednesday with a thigh injury, while David Abelda (calf) and Dani Parejo (broken thumb) remain on the sidelines.
Joao Pereira returns to the side following his one-match suspension, and midfielder Sergio Canales is in line to make his first start for the club since April of 2012.
Jose Mourinho could rotate his side following Sunday's overwhelming victory, with Karim Benzema, Jose Callejon and Ricardo Carvalho expected to come into the starting eleven for Gonzalo Higuain, Angel Di Maria and Raphael Varane.
Kaka returns from suspension and is set to take up a place on the bench.
