Deportiva Minera take on the visitors Real Madrid in the round of 1/16-final of Spanish Copa del Rey. The match will be played on Monday, January 6th at Estadio Municipal Cartagonova (Cartagena).
Deportiva Minera will soon celebrate their centenary - it was launched in 1927. But it is not surprising that few have heard of such a club. After all, apart from a couple of seasons that were spent at the level of the third league, the rest of the time was at a completely semi-amateur level. Against the general background, there is progress now. Firstly, following the results of last season, they finally managed, after a couple of years, to rise to the 4th league, and there they are among the middle peasants. Secondly, they have already overcome two rounds of Copa del Rey. First, they crushed Tudelano on the road - they managed to score five unanswered goals even on the road. And then they knocked out Alaves, with the Primera representative exchanging goals both in the main and in extra time, and then clearly won the penalty shootout better - the more prestigious opponent realized only 1 attempt.

Real Madrid leaves quite controversial assessments. The Galacticos certainly had a strong last season. On the domestic stage, they won both the Spanish Super Cup and the Primera, and finally won the Champions League again. They started the new season by winning another trophy: having beaten Atalanta, they won the UEFA Super Cup. And last month they added the Intercontinental Cup. But at the same time, Ancelotti was on the verge of being fired. Which is also not surprising: in the Champions League, only a victory in the last round evened out the balance of won and lost matches, now there are 3 of them. In the Primera, the current winner has only successfully finished 2/3 of the rounds. Moreover, they lost 0-4 at home in El Clasico. And it's good that Barcelona then failed the end of 2024, allowing themselves to be caught up. Even Valencia in the rescheduled match this week created a lot of problems, winning until the last minutes. But in the end they won 3-0.
There was simply no place for teams of such different levels to play each other. After a difficult last match in 2025, the "Whites" should approach this one with sufficient attitude. We bet on their victory with a handicap of "-3 goals".
Prediction for the match: Real Madrid to win with -3.0 handicap.
