Third-tier side Atletico Baleares will be up against La Liga giants Atletico Madrid in the fourth round of the Copa del Rey. This match marks the first-ever meeting between the two sides, and Baleares will be out to cause a major upset. Read on for our prediction below.

Baleares have already been responsible for one shock in this competition, after beating La Liga side Espanyol 1-0. The challenge gets tougher in this round, and so will Baleares, as they look to prove it wasn’t a fluke.

Preparations for this game didn’t go well for the hosts, who lost 3-1 at Terrassa. The hosts have to do better in attack too, having failed to score more than once in the last four outings.

That will particularly be an issue when coming up against this Atletico side that scored five goals in just the last two games. Atletico have only failed to score once in their last 10 matches.

In those 10 matches, they scored two or more goals in seven games. After back-to-back defeats by Barcelona and Athletic Bilbao, Atletico have recovered with two wins.

Their most recent came on Saturday at home to Valencia, ending 2-1. In the first three rounds, Atletico got a bye, and here they will be favorites to sail into the quarters.
