THE PREDICTION

Linares Deportivo’s 4-0 victory over Sevilla Atletico prior to the Christmas winter break came immediately after they defeated top-flight opposition Alaves in the previous round of the Copa del Rey. Those results have extended the hosts’ unbeaten run of form to eight matches. They come up against a Barcelona side that, despite being depleted due to positive COVID-19 cases, managed a slender 1-0 victory over Real Mallorca at the weekend. This one could be a tricky trip for Xavi’s Catalans and a low-scoring Barca win would appear likely, despite the gap in leagues.
