Mallorca and Espanyol to Draw at Half Time
The two teams are pretty similar in quality, but Espanyol has done better in La Liga so far than Mallorca and they are ahead by six points in the standings.
Still, the home team is a slight favourite in this cup match and we expect a very close duel that will probably be decided in the second half. So, our first prediction is for Mallorca and Espnayl to draw at half time.
Both Teams to Score – No
Both teams have scored in just one of the last five h2h duels between Mallorca and Espanyol and we don't expect this match to be any different.
That being said, both teams have scored in half of all Mallorca and Espanyol matches in La Liga this season. Based on that, the game could go either way, but based on tradition, it should end with at least one team keeping a clean sheet.

Mallorca vs Espanyol: Form, possible lineups and team news
This is one of the closest matches in the upcoming Copa del Rey round, so let's take a closer look at the teams right now:
Mallorca
With just one win in the last six La Liga games, Mallorca is clearly not in the best form. Furthermore, the team has lost their last three games in a the league and now they are dangerously close to the relegation zone, just three points ahead of the first team in it. On the bright side, Mallorca has a chance to reach the quarter-finals of Copa del Rey.
The team could be without Maffeo and Raillo who are currently on the Mallorca's injury list for this game, while Kang-in, Angel, and Greif are still uncertain since they recently tested positive for coronavirus.
Mallorca predicted lineup:
Roman – Olivan, Valjent, Gaya, Sastre – Sevilla, Sedlar – Battaglia, Dani Rodriguez, Amath – A. Rodriguez
Espanyol
It's been a very good season so far for Espanyol since the team that just got back to La Liga is currently sitting in the middle of the standings, safe from any relegation worries at the moment. In the last six games in the league, Espanyol has three wins and three draws. On top of all that, the team is one step away from Copa del Rey quarter-finals.
Another positive for the team is the fact that their only injured player is David Lopez, who is unlikely to appear in the upcoming duel with Espanyol, but he isn't officially ruled out yet.
Espanyol predicted lineup:
Lopez – Pedrosa, Cabrera, Gomez, Gil – Melamed, Darder, Bare, Embarba – Lei, Moron
