Mijas are unbeaten in nine straight matches: Mijas-Las Lagunas vs Real Jaén prediction
On November 10, Mijas-Las Lagunas host Real Jaén at the Francisco Muñoz Pérez Stadium in the Spanish Cup. The home side arrive on a nine-match unbeaten run, while the visitors recently suffered their first defeat in six games. Can Mijas keep their strong run going and book a place in the next round?
Mijas-Las-Lagunas: can the hosts extend their unbeaten run?
Mijas-Las-Lagunas are enjoying a strong campaign in the Segunda Federación and are among the contenders for promotion. They are unbeaten in nine straight matches, although their last three have ended in draws. In the previous round, the Andalusians shared the points with Recreativo (1-1), having previously drawn with Marbella (0-0) and Real Betis B (1-1).
Mijas have been especially convincing at home, where they have not lost since the start of the year. In October, they beat Sevilla Atlético (3-1), having earlier claimed an away win over Tenerife B (3-1). The hosts have scored 10 goals and conceded six across their last six matches. Their consistent results and home advantage bode well for their Spanish Cup campaign.
Real Jaén: can the visitors overcome their away-day struggles?
Real Jaén compete in the Primera Federación and are hoping to challenge for a return to the Segunda División. However, their recent results have been mixed. In the previous round, the visitors lost 4-3 to Alcorcón, ending a five-match unbeaten run. Before that, Jaén beat Algeciras (3-2) and Rayo Majadahonda (1-0), and drew with Atlético Madrid B (1-1).
The visitors’ main problem is their inconsistency away from home. Real Jaén are winless in their last four away games and have conceded 10 goals across their last six matches. Their attack, however, has been productive enough: they have scored 11 times over the same period. The coaching staff may rotate the squad, with the push for promotion their main priority.

Can the hosts thrash Jaén again? Mijas-Las-Lagunas vs Real Jaén prediction
Despite playing in a higher division, Real Jaén are far from clear favourites. The visitors regularly make defensive errors and struggle on the road. Mijas, by contrast, keep picking up points and look confident in front of their own fans.
The head-to-head record also favours the hosts. Last season, they drew away from home (1-1) before thrashing Jaén 3-0 on their own ground. Given the teams’ current form and Mijas’ unbeaten home run, the Andalusians could once again give their opponents a tough test.
