Real Sociedad Preview
Real Sociedad reached this stage after just beating Logroñés by a score of 1-0 in the second round, a rather tight result compared to what they showed in their previous appearances in the tournament, beating CD Coria by 0-5 and Cazalegas by 1-4.
These results are part of a positive streak for Real Sociedad dating back to November 2022, winning in their last seven official matches, including last weekend’s 3-1 win over Athletic Club in the Basque derby.
Probable lineup (4-1-3-2): Alex Remiro; Aritz Elustondo, Igor Zubeldía, Robin Le Normand, Diego Rico; Martín Zubimendi; Mikel Merino, David Silva, Brais Méndez; Takefusa Kubo, Alexander Sorloth.
Mallorca Preview
Mallorca failed to settle their previous Copa del Rey game in normal time, needing extra time to overcome Pontevedra by 0-2, and will go into this match against Real Sociedad without having allowed a goal so far in the tournament, having previously beaten Real Union and Autol by 0-1 and 0-6, respectively.
The visiting team got a taste of what their cup rivals felt in their last match after losing 1-0 to Osasuna in league action, and will be looking to get back on track in this new match to continue with the dream of lifting the trophy in a few months’ time.
Probable lineup (5-3-2): Pedrag Rajkovic; Pablo Maffeo, Martin Valjent, Antonio Raíllo, José Copete, Jaume Costa; Dani Rodríguez, Idrissu Baba, Clement Grenier; Kang-in Lee, Vedat Muriqi.
JefeBet Prediction
Real Sociedad is the favorite to win the match because, on paper, they have a better team and are in a great moment. In fact, during its current winning streak, the team has managed to score at least two goals in six of the seven games.
Moreover, the home side has beaten Mallorca in the last six meetings between the two clubs, and has not allowed a goal in any of them. However, Real Sociedad only managed to score more than two goals on two occasions during that period, and knowing the good defensive form of the islanders, it will surely be another game in which there will not be many goals.
To add to the sensations of a low-scoring affair, none of Mallorca’s last four away games exceeded two goals.
Prediction: Under.
