Atletico Baleares: Form and Statistics

Atletico Baleares are excited to host a La Liga team after beating third-tier Gimnastic 2-0 in the first round. Juanmi Duran and Guillem Castell each scored to help them reach the second round for the first time since 2021-22. Baleares head into the next match with confidence, having won their last three league games. They beat Torrent and Poblense 2-1, then claimed a 1-0 win at Atletic Lleida on Sunday. Thanks to their strong form, Baleares are in third place in Group 3 of the Segunda Federacion, just one point off the top. They will face Espanyol for the second time this season, having drawn 1-1 with the 'B' team in October. That result is part of a six-match unbeaten run at home. So far in 2025/26, Baleares have 8 wins, 3 draws, and 3 losses. They’ve scored 21 goals, averaging 2 goals per match in the league and 1.5 per match overall.

Espanyol: Form and Statistics

Espanyol began their Copa del Rey campaign with a 2-1 win over Atletic Lleida in October. After that, they lost two straight La Liga games to Alaves and Villarreal. They bounced back with a win against Sevilla. Last Sunday, they beat Celta Vigo 1-0, with Kike Garcia scoring the late winner. With 24 points from 14 league matches, Espanyol sit in sixth place, aiming for European football for the first time since 2019-20. However, they now turn their focus to the Copa del Rey, hoping for their first cup win since 2005-06. They will be cautious, aware of last season's shock loss to fourth-tier Barbastro in the early rounds. Espanyol have 8 wins from 15 matches this season. They’ve scored 20 goals, including 2 in the Copa del Rey. Pere Milla leads with 5 goals, and Edu Expósito has 4 assists. Defensively, Espanyol have conceded 17 goals this season, averaging 1.13 per match. Their away form stands out—they’ve won three of their last four away games, including victories at Celta Vigo and Real Oviedo without conceding. Their only recent losses came against Villarreal and Alaves, but their away performances remain solid and consistent.
