Son Moix will be the first touchstone this Tuesday for Real Sociedad and Mallorca in the duel for a place in the Copa del Rey final, which will be decided on February 27 in the second leg in Anoeta.

Mexican Javier Aguirre’s team, which has only won three games in 23 League games, has all its hopes pinned on the cup tournament to make up for a season far removed from initial forecasts.

Real Sociedad faces the first big test of a demanding month of February, with a first round in the search for a new Cup final, after which they played and won in the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic.

He txuri urdin team has just achieved a creditable draw at the home of the revelation of the League, Girona, in a match that Real was able to dominate in many parts of the match, although the lack of goals from their forwards once again condemned them.

The wet gunpowder and the lesions that, once again, they once again attacked Imanol Alguacil’s boys, this time twice.

Sheraldo Becker returned to San Sebastián directly, while Álvaro Odriozola and Mikel Oyarzabal They are in Mallorca, but they are a doubt for the game.

Another doubt lies in Aritz Elustondo, who has traveled to Madrid to undergo tests that, depending on the result, will or will not allow him to join his teammates in the Balearic capital. Aihen Muñoz, Carlos Fernández and Kieran Tierney, along with the aforementioned Becker and Odriozola, are safe casualties.

High

The positive part is found in the registrations section, with Take Kubo and Hamari Traoré back with the group after Japan and Mali were eliminated on Saturday from the Asia Cup and the Africa Cup, respectively.

Face a Mallorca, which has not beaten Real since September 2012, precisely as a local. Since then, both clubs have played three more games in Son Moix, all three in the League, with two wins for the txuri urdin and a draw.
