Mallorca next meet 2010 winners Sevilla.The format of the Cup means it is extremely difficult for teams from lower divisions to get the better of top-flight opponents as they typically have to play away in the second legs.The only non-La Liga sides left in the competition are second division Las Palmas and Cordoba. Malaga will also play last season’s runners-up Athletic Bilbao or third tier Eibar.
