We have reached the round of 32 in the Copa Del Rey and on the 5th of January we have a meeting between SD Eibar and Real Mallorca at Estadio Municipal de Ipurúa.
The hosts are currently playing their football in the Segunda Division while the visitors are in La Liga, so SD Eibar are looking for an upset.
SD Eibar come into the match having beaten Real Sociedad B 3-2 at home in the Segunda Division on the 31st of December. SD Eibar found themselves 2-0 up at half-time but Real Sociedad B scored 2 goals in the second half to equalise.
SD Eibar did not give up and scored the winning goal in the 89th minute. That result sees them occupy second place in the Segunda Division, with a return to La Liga looking promising.
SD Eibar have won each of their last 3 games in all competitions, including a 2-1 win at Tenerife in the previous round of the Copa Del Rey. SD Eibar also scored a late goal in that match to take the victory and progress in the competition.
Trends show SD Eibar have won 4 of their last 5 Copa Del Rey fixtures, all of which have come away from home. Their home record is poor and they have failed to win any of their 4 most recent home Copa Del Rey matches.
Over 2.5 goals have been seen in Eibar’s last 4 games in the Copa del Rey, with both teams scoring.
Real Mallorca travel to the Estadio Municipal de Ipurúa on the back of a narrow 1-0 loss at home against Barcelona in La Liga. The only goal of the game was scored just before half-time and Real Mallorca could not find the equalising goal in the second half.
That result means Real Mallorca have won only 1 of their last 4 fixtures in all competitions and the victory came in the previous round of the Copa Del Rey. Real Mallorca beat Llanera comfortably 6-0 away from home but interestingly, all the goals were scored in the second half.
Real Mallorca have managed to win 5 of their last 7 Copa Del Rey matches, including 3 of their last 4 on the road. Real Mallorca have scored in each of their last 10 away Copa Del Rey games.
Team news and SD Eibar are definitely without the injured duo of Frederico Venancio and Oscar Sielva. There are also doubts over the fitness of Franchu.
Real Mallorca have had a few players struck down with COVID-19, including Dominik Greif, Matthew Hoppe, and Takefusa Kubo. Antonio Raíllo is struggling with an ankle injury.
SD Eibar will fancy their chances of an upset in this tie but Real Mallorca could prove tough to beat. We expect to see both teams find the back of the net and over 2.5 goals scored.
SD Eibar have been struggling to win home games in the Copa Del Rey recently and it could be Real Mallorca who progress.
