Until recently, La Coruña was on a winning streakOne of the more interesting 1/16 finals in the Copa del Rey in Spain is between Deportivo La Coruña and Mallorca. Deportivo is on the path to returning to the elite and is second in the Segunda División. It was also demonstrating excellent form, having recently achieved seven consecutive victories in all competitions. However, while it was going unbeaten at home, it suffered two heavy defeats, losing its last two matches on home soil, 0:3 to Real Sociedad B and 1:3 to Castellón.
Mallorca achieved a good 3:1 victory at home against Elche and recorded its fourth consecutive match without a loss. In La Liga, however, it remains in the lower half of the standings. As a visitor, Mallorca has only one victory in the league since the start of the season. Over the past six years, it has not faced La Coruña, but I would still note that it has not won as a guest against this opponent in its last 12 visits.
Prediction: 1X double chanceDeportivo was brought down to earth in its last two matches, but before that, it really showed a pretty good face and is not surprisingly second in the Segunda. Mallorca, on the other hand, is not very strong in its visits, especially against this opponent, although the two teams have not met recently. Still, it seems to me that it would not be a particular surprise if Deportivo at least manages to draw in regular time.
