Eibar hosts Mallorca in the Spanish Copa del Rey 1/16 finals. The match will be played on Wednesday, January 5th at Estadio Municipal de Ipurua (Eibar)
Eibar was perceived as an average performer of the top Spanish division. It was not a stellar but a well-organized and classically coaching team. But as happens to similar projects, Mendilibar's charges gradually slowed down, and the specialist seemed to have run out of ideas on how to change everything in favor of the team. Of course, Eibar has the only clear task for this season — to return to the level that has already become familiar. At the same time, there is one vacant direct ticket left, as Almeria tops the standings very confidently. In general, the Gunsmiths are coping with their task, but the competitors are not asleep either. In the last match, Eibar beat Real Sociedad B at home (3-2).

Mallorca has recently gained a promotion to LaLiga, but it couldn’t stay there for a second year. Now it seems that the team is more ready to fight for fairly high places. In the current season, Luis Garcia's men took points from Betis, Sevilla, and Valencia and even beat strong Atletico Madrid. In general, the results of Mallorca are not particularly impressive. But most importantly, the team managed to leave for a winter break with a 5-point margin from the relegation zone. And the Pirates hardly planned anything more. Yes, now they are on a streak of two defeats in a row, but they lost to eminent Barcelona with a minimal score (0-1). And in principle, the situation in the LaLiga standings allows Mallorca players to make a certain focus on the cup. They have already managed to eliminate several opponents, and the next one does not belong to the grandees.
In the 2019/2020 season, Eibar and Mallorca played in LaLiga. Then the Pirates were able to gain victory in both matches, but it did not help them stay in the elite. Now the chances in this pair are quoted as almost equal. The upcoming game will be full of struggle, but it's not worth waiting for an abundance of goals scored.
Prediction for the match: Under 2.5 goals scored
