Numancia — Mallorca Prediction, H2H and Probable Lineups — 2 December 2025
On December 2, 2025, in the 1/32 finals of the Copa del Rey, Numancia will host Mallorca. The match is scheduled to kick off at 19:00 CET. Let’s take a closer look at the potential outcome of this clash.
Numancia
Numancia represents Segunda RFEF, Group 1, and has been performing confidently in their league. The team currently sits in the second stage, just 3 points behind the leader after 13 games, showing strong home form. At home this season, Numancia has been solid, losing only once and drawing once in their last eight matches, while winning the rest.
In the Copa del Rey, Numancia has already improved on last year’s performance. Last season, they were eliminated in the 1/64 stage by Sporting Gijón. This year, they will host Mallorca in the 1/32 finals, and recent results show the team is confident. In their last three meetings with Mallorca, Numancia remained unbeaten, achieving two wins and one draw.
Mallorca
Mallorca approaches this cup match in poor form. In their last four games, they have managed only one win, suffered two losses, and drew the most recent match at home against Osasuna, letting slip a 2–0 lead. In La Liga, Mallorca is currently 15th, just 2 points above the relegation zone.
In the Copa del Rey, Mallorca comfortably advanced through the previous round by defeating a lower-ranked opponent. Last year, the team reached the 1/16 stage but was unexpectedly eliminated after a 3–0 loss to Pontevedra.
Historically, Mallorca has struggled against Numancia. In the last six encounters, Numancia won twice, three matches ended in draws, and Mallorca claimed only one victory.

Numancia — Mallorca Prediction
This match is expected to be intriguing, as it features two teams of different levels. Numancia, a Segunda RFEF side, has progressed far in the cup for a team of its level. While in decent form, they are unlikely to play openly against a La Liga side, preferring a more defensive approach given the high stakes. Mallorca, on the other hand, is not in the best form. Last year, they were eliminated from the cup by lower-ranked opposition, but they have likely learned from that experience. With morale and progress on the line, Mallorca is also expected to approach this game cautiously, especially away from home. Considering these factors and the historical trend of low-scoring encounters between the two sides, we anticipate a careful, tactical game with few goals. My bet for this match: Total Goals Under 2.5 at odds of 1.72.
