Can Mallorca Extend Their Unbeaten Run in the Copa del Rey? Alcoyano vs Mallorca Prediction | November 5, 2026
Alcoyano host Mallorca on November 5 in the first round of the Copa del Rey. The teams enter the tie in contrasting form, with the hosts struggling for results in Segunda Federación while Mallorca are competing near the top of the Segunda División table. The visitors also arrive on an unbeaten run and have considerably more experience in the Copa del Rey.
Alcoyano
Alcoyano compete in Group 3 of Segunda Federación and currently sit 12th in the standings. Their recent results have been disappointing, with two defeats and one draw across their last three matches. They were unable to return to winning ways in their latest fixture against Real Murcia B.
This will be Alcoyano’s first appearance in the current Copa del Rey campaign, making the challenge of facing a higher-division opponent particularly demanding. Their recent defensive record is also a concern, as they have conceded in each of their last three matches.
However, Alcoyano’s games have generally been low-scoring. Their last six matches have all finished with fewer than three goals, a trend that reflects the limited scoring in their recent fixtures.
Mallorca
Mallorca arrive in considerably better form, having gone five matches without defeat, with two wins and three draws during that run. Their latest result was a 2–1 home victory over Cadiz, providing another positive result ahead of their cup campaign.
After 12 rounds of Segunda División, Mallorca sit fifth in the table and have suffered only two defeats. Their defensive record has been particularly strong: they have conceded just seven goals, with only league leaders Castellon allowing fewer. Their matches have also tended to produce relatively few goals. Seven of Mallorca’s last nine games have featured fewer than three goals. Nevertheless, they have conceded in each of their last three matches.
Mallorca also have more experience in the Copa del Rey. Last season, they reached the round of 32 before suffering an unexpected defeat to Deportivo La Coruna.
Head-to-Head
The teams have met three times. Mallorca won both encounters in Segunda Federación in 2017 and 2018, while Alcoyano recorded a 4–1 victory in their Copa del Rey meeting in 2005.
Key Trends
- Alcoyano are winless in their last 3 matches.
- Alcoyano have conceded in each of their last 3 games.
- Alcoyano’s last 6 matches have seen under 2.5 goals.
- Mallorca are unbeaten in their last 5 matches.
- Mallorca have lost only 2 of their 12 league matches this season.
- Mallorca have conceded just 7 goals in 12 league rounds.
- 7 of Mallorca’s last 9 matches have seen under 2.5 goals.
- Mallorca have conceded in 3 consecutive matches.
Prediction
Mallorca have several advantages heading into this cup tie. They compete at a higher level, are enjoying a five-match unbeaten run and have been among the more defensively reliable sides in Segunda División. Alcoyano, meanwhile, have struggled to find consistency and have failed to win any of their last three matches. The hosts’ tendency to play low-scoring games could keep the contest close, particularly if they manage to maintain their defensive organisation. However, Mallorca’s stronger league performances and greater experience in the Copa del Rey give them a clear advantage.
Mallorca have the quality and current form to progress. Recommended Bet: Mallorca to Win
