A place in the last 16 of the Copa del Rey will be up for grabs when Eibar and Mallorca square off at the Ipurua Municipal Stadium on Wednesday.
The hosts head into the game on a three-game winning streak, while the visitors have lost each of their last two games.
Eibar continued their fine run of results last Friday as they claimed a thrilling 3-2 win over Real Sociedad B on home turf.
Gaizka Garitano’s men have now won each of their most recent three games, while they are unbeaten in their last four.
They now head to the Copa del Rey where they claimed a 2-1 win over Gernika Club in their opening game before seeing off Tenerife by the same scoreline in their subsequent outing.
Mallorca, on the other hand, opened their Copa del Rey campaign with a 2-0 victory over Gimnástica Segoviana before thrashing UD Llanera 6-0 in round 2.
However, they head into Wednesday’s game on a two-game losing streak, including a 1-0 defeat against Barcelona on Sunday.
Mallorca are currently on a three-game winning run against Eibar and will aim to maintain their dominance in this fixture.
