Atletico Baleares vs Valencia Predictions

• Seven of Valencia’s last eight games have included three or more goals
• There have been three or more goals in five of Atletico Baleares’ last seven outings
• Atletico Baleares have never reached the Copa del Rey quarter finals

Valencia out to avoid an upset

This is a bit of a banana skin tie for Valencia, who have proved free-scoring in La Liga and have won the Copa del Rey on eight occasions, most recently in 2018/19.

José Bordalás’ side have lost just one of their last seven away games, at Real Madrid, with seven of their last ten fixtures on the road including at least three goals.

Indeed, their goalscoring exploits have been quite something, netting in nine consecutive matches, with six of those fixtures including at least two Valencia goals within the 90 minutes.

Atletico Baleares in for a tough afternoon

Atletico Baleares play in the third tier in Spain, but they are well positioned to get promoted and their home form in all competitions has been strong, gaining seven wins in ten competitions.

They have already defeated Celta Vigo and Getafe, two La Liga sides, in the Copa del Rey this season, but Getafe in particular fielded a weakened team and this fixture looks like it could be a step too far for them.

Goals are expected. They have only kept one clean sheet in six outings, while four of those games have included at least three goals.

I predict there will be at least three goals in this game, with Valencia coming away with a handsome 3-1 victory.
