Sevilla – Mirandes

Sevilla and Mirandes will square off in the Copa Del Rey quarterfinals first leg, with the hosts looking to avoid becoming another big scalp in Mirandes’ collection.

FC Sevilla is playing really well right now, winning their last 4 matches and doing it in pretty convincing fashion, with a 10-1 total goal differce. The opponents were also rather difficult: rivals Betis (twice), Athletic Bilbao and the red hot Malaga. The hosts had a very poor first part of the season, for which reason they are only 7th in La Liga, but they really stepped it up since the end of November. In the last 13 matches in all competitions Sevilla has 10 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss. The team also won the last 9 home matches.

Mirandes knocked out Malaga and Deportivo La Coruna in order to reach this stage and the win over Deportivo was particularly impressive. After a 1-1 draw at home, Mirandes won 3-0 on the road last Tuesday, booking a famous victory. However, the big win was followed by an even bigger loss over the weekend, as Mirandes was demolished 4-0 by Leganes. The visitors are currently sitting on the 11th place in Liga Adelante.

Team news: With the league almost compromised, The Copa Del Rey is a very important objective for Sevilla this season and there should not be too much rotation. As such, expect the hosts to field most of their regulars in the starting lineup. Mirandes of course will send the best available 11 on the pitch.

Sevilla is playing some good football these days and looking at their amazing home form, with 9 consecutive wins, it’s difficult to see Mirandes posing a real threat today. Credit to the visitors for their road so far, but Sevilla is a tougher opponent than Malaga or Deportivo and certainly in better form.

The 4-0 loss to Leganes definitely took away some of the confidence Mirandes had after knocking out Deportivo and I can see a focused Sevilla side capitalizing on that. The hosts are just too strong and with their excellent form and home court advantage, I trust them to do the job professionally, avoiding any upsets.

My tip is Sevilla to win with a 1,5 goal handicap, they should dominate this football game from start to finish. Prediction: Sevilla – Mirandes 3-0.
