Atlético Melilla host Pinatar in the Copa del Rey. There's a bit of previous between Melilla and cup football, at least based on what we can see, though it's not exactly recent.
We don't have anything at all to go on for Pinatar heading into this one, and the sample we do have for Melilla comes from a good while before this fixture. That leaves plenty of uncertainty before we even get to the game itself.

| League | Home | Away | Date | Score |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Copa del Rey | Palma del Rio | Atlético Melilla | 04.10.2025 | 5-0 |
| Copa del Rey | Atlético Melilla | Palma del Rio | 27.09.2025 | 0-5 |
Those games took place roughly a year before this fixture, so they're not a snapshot of the current squad. It's still the only reference point available for how Melilla have fared in this competition.
Treat that record as historical context rather than a guide to how this Melilla side will actually play.
A tie with very little to measure it by
With no recent form for Pinatar and only a dated, one-sided sample for Melilla, this is a fixture where it's hard to build a clear picture. Cup ties between sides from different levels can go either way, and we simply don't have the information to say where either team stands right now.
Melilla's only known recent Copa del Rey experience was a heavy beating, but that was against a specific opponent over a year ago. It tells us little about how they'll approach a different tie against Pinatar.
There just isn't enough here to back a view on this one with any confidence. Melilla's only available record is old and lopsided, and Pinatar are a complete unknown from the evidence we've got.
Without a market to weigh up either, this looks like one to leave alone rather than guess at.
Who will win?
