Sevilla confirms the role of favorites in the second division? Let’s find out in our betting prediction below!
The Spanish Copa del Rey has a long tradition and has been held well over 100 times. However, surprises have been relatively rare in recent years, as the underdogs have rarely been able to prevail in the first and second leg.
Mirandes vs Sevilla Betting Odds and Predictions
In 2019/20 there was a change on the part of the Spanish association and the promoted player will only be determined in one game. The tournament is now in the round of 16 and there will be a duel between Mirandes and Sevilla on Thursday evening.
The guests from Andalusia are well warned about the second division promoted, because the underdog managed to surprise in the last round. LaLiga club Celta Vigo could be eliminated in the extension.
A move forward on Thursday evening against the Europa League starter would be an even bigger surprise. The bookmakers between Mirandes and Sevilla offer odds of over 6.00 for the home win. The game in the small Anduva stadium (almost 6,000 people have space).
Mirandes – Statistics & current form
Mirandes – Statistics & current formIn the 2012/13 season, Mirandes made its debut in the second Spanish LaLiga. The underdog lasted five years before relegation could not be avoided in the 2016/17 season. After two years in the difficult multi-track third division, the return was successful. Promotion coach Borja Jimenez left the club and hired for a short time in Greece.
As a successor, Mirandes presented a former professional. The long-time Bilbao goalkeeper Andoni Irola was given confidence. The 37-year-old gained his first experience in Cyprus at AEK Larnaka and is now to establish Mirandes in the second class.
So far, the conclusion has been quite satisfactory. After 24 game days, the newcomer is in a strong tenth place in the table and is only two points behind the playoff place six.
The Iraola team is particularly convincing in the home stadium. Only one of the twelve previous home games in the league has been lost, in the remaining eleven games Mirandes has celebrated five wins and drawn six times.
The defensive is also strong, having only conceded nine goals at home so far. Given these numbers, there is a belief in a surprise. Nonetheless, between Mirandes and Sevilla, the prediction towards the rise of the home side seems too risky for us.
In the cup competition so far, the Iraola team showed strong nerves and staying power. All three previous knockout games ended in a draw before the team won in extra time.
Probable lineup of Mirandes:
➤ Limones – Franquesa, Gonzalez, Onaindia, Martinez – Munoz, Sanchez, Guridi, Rey – Merquelanz – Marcos Andre

Sevilla – Statistics & current form
Sevilla – Statistics & current formSports director Monchi has earned an excellent reputation through his many years of service in Sevilla. From then on, the bald man was associated with all sizes of international football before deciding to become involved in the eternal city of Rome. He was not happy with the Roma and now returned to his Andalusian homeland.
Monchi left no stone unturned and started to make a major change. Julen Lopetegui was presented after two disappointing years (seventh and sixth place), a young trainer who already has a lot of experience. The former team boss of the Spanish national team has a clear game philosophy and wants his team to determine the game.
The current interim conclusion can be absolutely positive for the Andalusians. With 38 points from 21 games, the club ranked third and would have fixed the return to the UEFA Champions League. Even the top duo Real Madrid (eight points behind) and Barcelona (five points behind) are in relative sight. In spring, the Spaniards are also represented in their favorite competition, the Europa League.
There were hardly any setbacks in the current season and the team can compete with that in mind. At Mirandes, Lopetegui will rotate strongly due to the intense weeks.
However, this is not necessarily a disadvantage, because the squad width at Sevilla is impressive. Lopetegui can easily provide a second adequate team. Substitute goalkeeper Bono, Daniel Carrico (central defender) and Joan Jordan (central midfield) are unavailable due to injury.
Although the Andalusians will be warned of the strong second division side at home, this does not change the role of favorites. The underdog does not have any form advantages, because this season Sevilla is also convincing abroad.
The Lopetegui team has already collected the same number of points in a foreign place as in the entire season last year (20). Accordingly, we have a good feeling between Mirandes and Sevilla when tapping on the guests.
Probable lineup of Sevilla:
➤ Vaclik – Escudero, Carlos, Gomez, Navas – Torres, Fernando, Banega – Nolito, de Jong, Ocampos
Last matches from Sevilla:
⚽️ 01/25/2020 – Sevilla vs. Granada 2-0 (La Liga)

⚽️ 01/20/2020 – SV Sandhausen vs. Sevilla 3: 1 (friendly match)
⚽️ 01/18/2020 – Real Madrid vs. Sevilla 2-1 (La Liga)
