Villarreal play in the top flight, occupying eighth position in La Liga, and recently demonstrated their quality with a 2-1 victory over Valencia and a 3-1 win against Napoli. While injuries to N. Pepe, C. Romero, and N. Saliba limit their options, their overall squad depth remains far superior to lower-division opposition. Manacor have been productive offensively against their recent opponents, netting in all five previous outings, but the vast difference in competitive standard makes Villarreal heavily favoured to avoid defeat. Combining the away win and draw accounts for any initial cup friction or rotation while maintaining strong probability.

Match preview
Manacor host top-flight Villarreal in the Round of 128 of the Copa del Rey. The home side enter the contest following a 1-1 draw away at Arenal, which followed a 2-1 defeat at Formentera and previous victories against Andratx, Sineu, and Migjorn.
Villarreal arrive after securing a 2-1 away victory against Valencia in domestic competition. The visitors currently sit eighth in La Liga with 12 points from 10 matches, having recorded three wins, three draws, and four defeats in league play this season.
