ANDORRA LA VELLA, Andorra (Interstat) — A surging IC d’Escaldes looks to extend its dominant form against a Deportivo La Massana side returning from a long hiatus in a Copa Constitució matchup Sunday.

The match, part of Andorra’s domestic cup competition, pits a first-division powerhouse against a club whose most recent recorded result dates to May 2001, a 3-0 loss to Sporting Escaldes.

IC d’Escaldes enters the contest in commanding fashion. The club is undefeated in its last seven matches across all competitions, a streak that includes six wins and one draw. Its most recent outing was a 2-0 victory over Esper Andorra on Dec. 21.

Over that span, d’Escaldes’ attack has been potent, outscoring opponents 15-2. Key results include a 4-0 win over Penya Encarnada on Dec. 17 and a 3-1 victory against traditional power FC Santa Coloma on Nov. 26. The team’s lone setback this season was a 4-0 loss to Santa Coloma on Nov. 9.

Deportivo La Massana, the home side, presents a significant unknown. The club has been absent from the national football landscape for nearly 25 years, with no recent competitive results available. The team faces a formidable challenge in its return, squaring off against one of the nation’s hottest sides.

Statistical analysis from Interstat forecasts a 2-1 victory for the visiting d’Escaldes.

Following Sunday’s cup tie, IC d’Escaldes returns to Primera Divisió action with a congested schedule. The team faces FC Santa Coloma on Jan. 17 in a rematch of their November clash, followed by a derby at AC d’Escaldes on Jan. 25. The next 10 fixtures for d’Escaldes are exclusively league matches, highlighting the importance of the cup as a separate pursuit.

Kickoff is set for Sunday, Jan. 11, 2026, at a venue to be determined in La Massana. The match offers d’Escaldes a chance to advance in cup play while testing the revived Deportivo La Massana’s place in Andorran football.
