Deportiva Minera vs Real Madrid prediction: Both teams to score in road win
Key stats
- Our Deportiva Minera vs Real Madrid betting tips take into account that Los Blancos have only kept one clean sheet in their last five matches.
- Deportiva Minera have scored seven goals across their two matches in the competition so far, including two against top flight Alaves.
- The underdogs have only won one of their last nine matches in all competitions, excluding penalty shootouts.
Correct score prediction: Deportiva Minera 1-3 Real Madrid
The gulf in class is enormous here, but Real Madrid are short on defensive options and a potentially youthful backline could still run into trouble at times against lower league opposition.
Carlo Ancelotti’s side have looked a bit shaky at the back of late overall, but they have plenty of depth in attacking areas and a rotated eleven should take care of business.

Player to watch – Brahim Diaz
This is the kind of night where fringe players like Brahim Diaz will be hoping to make a big impression for Los Blancos. The forward has two goals and three assists this term in 18 appearances in all competitions.
A scorer of late goals
Brahim has often been used as an impact sub, which partly explains a strong scoring record after the break. Since the start of last season, 69% of his Real Madrid goals in regulation time have come in the Second Half.
