The team led by Manuel Pellegrini opens the title defense with a visit to the Balearic Islands, a region known for its scenic coastlines and intense football fandom. The upcoming Cup del Rey campaign begins with a showcase across Ibiza and its surrounding isles, where Real Betty faces a demanding test on home soil against teams from the Second Federation of Spain.
Upon arriving at Palladium Can Misses, Pellegrini’s squad steps into a match that follows a goalless first half after the break for the Qatar 2022 World Cup. The Heliópolis club sits in sixth place in LaLiga with 25 points, navigating the Europa League zone as the campaign progresses. The opening rounds of the Cup have already seen the Balearic side triumph over Rayo Majadahona 3-1 in the first round and edge Eibar 1-0 in the second round, signaling readiness to challenge higher-caliber adversaries. This defending champion, anchored by Claudio Bravo, aims to advance to the round of 16 as part of a storied run toward a potential two-time title. The Verdiblancos boast three Cup trophies, with earlier triumphs recorded in 1976/77 and 2004/05, underscoring a long legacy in this tournament.
The match between the Balearic Islands and the Heliopolitans is broadcast through DSports, with coverage on the listed channels. Streaming options include online DGO access. DirectV satellite subscribers can log in without creating a new account using the MiDIRECTV credentials for seamless viewing.
