Pontevedra vs Mallorca. Spanish Cup match forecast

The upcoming match is likely to be a low-key affair given the current form and style of both teams. Pontevedra, despite being underdogs, have demonstrated defensive reliability, especially at home. The team has conceded only one goal in the last three matches, including encounters with stronger opponents.

Mallorca also tend to play cautiously in cup competitions, with four of their last five Copa del Rey matches having under 2.5 goals. Given these factors and tendencies, the match is likely to be played defensively, with a minimum of dangerous moments.

Our prediction is under 2.5 goals. We bet on it with odds of 1.87

Bet on the outcome

Pontevedra have shown remarkable resilience against strong opponents, which has allowed them to beat teams like Levante and Villarreal in the Copa del Rey. The home stadium gives an additional advantage, especially in games where motivation is at its peak. Mallorca, despite their status as a La Liga team, often have difficulties in away cup matches, especially against motivated underdogs. Both teams play cautiously, focusing on the reliability of their defense. We expect the regular time to end in a draw.

The forecast is a draw, and we bet on it with odds of 3.20

Bet on the second half

In cup games, the decisive moments often happen in the second half, when teams try to take advantage of their last chance to win. Pontevedra tend to be more active towards the end of the game, while Mallorca are able to create dangerous moments when their opponents are tired. Given the cautious start and the possible increase in tempo towards the final whistle, we predict a more productive second half.

Forecast - second half: total over one goal for odds of 1.90
