Mirandes hosts Rayo Vallecano in the Spanish Copa del Rey 1/16 finals. The match will be played on Wednesday, January 5th at Estadio Municipal de Anduva (Miranda de Ebro)
Mirandes showed a good start in 2022. Young Wild Boars managed to beat Zaragoza at home with a score of 2-0. That victory allowed them to score 26 points and climb to 15th place in the LaLiga 2 standings. Manuel Escobar's charges have already gone through two stages of the Spanish Cup. They managed to beat such opponents as San Roque Lepe (0-3) and Lugo (1-2).

Rayo Vallecano has already played one match in 2022 as well. Andoni Iraola's charges lost to Atletico Madrid in the capital of Spain (2-0). That result was expected because the Red Sashes show poor away statistics in the current championship. But they look great at their native stadium. Like their upcoming opponents, Rayo players have already gone through two rounds of the Copa del Rey, beating Guijuelo (1-2) and Bergantinos (1-3).
The history of head-to-head confrontations between Mirandes and Rayo Vallecano has six matches. Young Wild Boars gained three victories, and the Red Sashes won only once. The last head-to-head match on the pitch of Mirandes ended with Rayo’s victory with a score of 0-2. Five out of six previous games of the Red Sashes in the Cup ended with an exchange of goals scored. Rayo is showing very mediocre away statistics in the current season. I will not rule out that Mirandes will take advantage of this. Moreover, the factor of the home stadium is on the side of Manuel Escobar's charges. In addition, Young Wild Boars are in good spirits after a successful first match in 2022. But the visitors will not give up the victory without a fight because they have the opportunity to make amends for the defeat to Atlético Madrid. I think the upcoming game will be quite productive.
Prediction for the match: Over 2.5 goals scored
