D Minera vs Real Madrid Prediction 6 January 2025

🔊 What are the chances of the "Red Eagles" against the reigning champion of Spain? The Round of 32 is the starting stage for Real Madrid. Deportiva Minera plays in the Segunda Federación and is unlikely to be seriously considered a team capable of ending the "Merengues'" journey in the Copa del Rey. Bookmakers share this opinion, offering the following odds: home victory - 19, victory for the "Galacticos" - 1.1.

📊 H2H

The teams have not faced each other before.

🔴 DEPORTIVA MINERA

Currently, Deportiva Minera plays in the Segunda Federación - the 4th tier of Spanish football. After 17 matches in the current season, the "Red Eagles" are in 8th place in the standings. Notably, over the past 9 rounds of the championship, the team from Llano del Beal has won only once. In terms of their Copa del Rey performance, Deportiva Minera left an impression with their victory over Alaves (3:2 after a penalty shootout) in the Round of 64. The club's most prolific player at this stage is Jose Perdomo (5+1).

⚪ REAL MADRID

Last Friday, the "Merengues" faced Valencia in the 12th round of La Liga. Despite a disallowed goal and Vinicius's sending off, the capital club managed to secure a victory (2:1). The main hero of the match was Jude Bellingham, who first assisted Luka Modric and then scored the winning goal in the 95th minute. Now, the "Galacticos" temporarily sit atop La Liga's standings. Moreover, Madrid surely aims to compete for the cup, considering their previous campaign ended at the Round of 16 stage - a defeat to Atletico (2:4).

⚽️ GOALS PREDICTION

In each of Real Madrid's last 7 matches, at least three goals were scored. The average total in "Merengues'" games this season is 3.3 goals (with 2.2 scored and about 1.1 conceded). It's important to consider the vastly different skill levels of the teams. Hardly anyone would argue that the hosts are on par with the "Galacticos." Our pick is Real Madrid's individual total over 2.5 goals.

📝 MATCH PREDICTION

It's hard to expect any surprises from the home side. Deportiva Minera lacks both high-caliber players and extensive experience in matches against the country's top clubs. In our view, Carlo Ancelotti will opt for significant rotation in this match. However, even this factor should not affect the nature and outcome of the confrontation. A final score of 0:3 seems quite justified. Our key bet is Real Madrid to win with a handicap (-2).
