Sports Mole previews Wednesday's Copa del Rey clash between Sevilla and Real Mallorca.

Real Mallorca will need to produce one of the biggest turnarounds in Copa del Rey history against Sevilla on Wednesday in order to book their spot in the next round.

Sevilla picked up a 5-0 win in the first leg on December 15, meaning that Mallorca would have to produce their biggest win of the season to advance to the latter stages.

The home side have struggled in the league this year, although three points against Osasuna at the weekend moved them into 12th spot in the table.

Mallorca picked up a point at home to Atletico Madrid on Sunday, meanwhile, but they remain in 16th spot, just two points outside the bottom three.

Sevilla have won three and drawn two of the last five meetings between the two sides, conceding five goals and scoring 13 in the process.

Sevilla are expected to name their strongest available side for the clash, although Baba Diawara could come into the team at the expense of Alvaro Negredo. Meanwhile, Mallorca are expected to make wholesale changes with Ximo and Andreu Fontas expected to start.

Recent form:

Sevilla: DWLLW
Mallorca: LLLWD

Possible lineups:

Sevilla: Lopez; Fazio, Navarro, Spahic, Cicinho; Navas, Medel, Rakitic, Reyes, Kondogbia; Diawara

Mallorca: Sanchez; Kevin, Nunes, Bigas, Ximo; Marti, Pereira, Nsue, Fontas; Alfaro, Alvaro

Sports Mole says: 3-1
