Mirandés and Sevilla measure forces at Estadio Municipal de Anduva, in a match for this phase of the Copa del Rey (8th Finals). There is no recent record of direct clashes between these two teams, which have not played any games in the last 3 years. The last time they met was on 28-01-2016, in a match that ended the final score: Mirandés (0‑3) Sevilla. Attention to the home factor, since Mirandés usually conquers different results at home and abroad.
Mirandés :
The home team reaches this stage of the Copa del Rey (8th Finals) after having played previous qualifiers with: Celta de Vigo, UCAM Murcia and Coruxo. This is a stronger team with the support of his fans, since in the last 30 matches he has recorded 3 wins, 7 draws and 5 losses as a visitor, with 26 goals scored and 33 suffered; against 6 wins, 7 draws and 2 losses in his stadium, with 19 goals scored and 12 suffered. The team arrives at this match after a draw away with Málaga by (2-2). In the last 10 games played at home for all competitions, Mirandés won 5 and drew 5. His attack has scored regularly, as he scored goals in 8 of the last 10 games. In 15 games, he suffered the first goal 7 times, but he got the comeback in 4. In the last 14 home games for all competitions there is 1 period that stands out: he scored 6 of his 16 goals between minutes (76′ ‑ 90 ‘ ).
The Mirandés arrives at this game after a draw to two in the visit to Malaga. It is possible that the home team prefers the left flank to attack, taking advantage of the depth offered by the lateral Gorka Kijera. Despite being a team that likes to play in the center of the field, it also easily manages to get out in the counterattack. It should be noted that at the defensive moment the Mirandés proves to be a very aggressive team, giving little space to the rivals. Coach Andoni Iraola must have all the players at his disposal.

In any case, Sevilla manages to play a good possession football, progressing on the court through short passes. The coach cannot count on Joan Jordán, Daniel Carriço and Bono, because they are injured.
