A recent result that still matters

The sides most recently met on 18 January 2025 in Tercera División RFEF Group 9, when Mijas Las Lagunas recorded a 3-0 victory over Real Jaén. That scoreline is the immediate reference point for a Copa del Rey encounter that promises different stakes for both clubs.

What’s at stake in this Round of 128

This is an opportunity for Mijas to build on a statement win and for Real Jaén to demonstrate why they sit higher in the Spanish pyramid. Mijas play in Segunda División RFEF (Group 4) and are sixth with 13 points from eight matches; Real Jaén compete in Primera División RFEF (Group 2) and are third with 16 points from nine. Cup progression would mean a high-profile scalp for the lower-division hosts and a routine result for the visitors.

Contrasting recent form

Mijas arrive on a strong run in league play, listed with form DWWDW, showing momentum and confidence. Real Jaén’s sequence is less decisive, recorded as DWDDL, hinting at resilience but fewer clear wins. Those patterns suggest Mijas are in attacking rhythm while Jaén have been grinding out results.

Head-to-head snapshot

The last two meetings: a 1-1 draw at Real Jaén on 8 September 2024 and Mijas’s 3-0 home win in January 2025. Overall comparison in the file leans heavily toward Mijas in the h2h breakdown, though the context now includes different divisional status for the clubs.

Tactical contrast and what it means

The core contrast is clear: Mijas bring recent momentum and the psychological edge from direct meetings, while Real Jaén have the advantage of playing at a higher level and the deeper seasonal sample that usually accompanies division-above teams. PreviaXI’s model rates the game tight, with expected goals near identical for both sides, suggesting a competitive cup tie where small margins and single moments will decide the outcome.

Our prediction

PreviaXI’s model identifies a narrow away win as the most likely scoreline given the balance between Mijas’s home confidence and Real Jaén’s higher-division quality. Expect a close, open match where Real Jaén’s slight edge in consistency makes the difference late on.
