Real Betis vs Mallorca: the Sevillians to concede & win again

In the Sunday pool of the Spanish La Liga round 25, Real Betis will face Mallorca. The Greens had a quality match in midweek in St. Petersburg that mostly guaranteed their presence in the round of 16 of the second most important European competition. Now it is time for them to preserve 3rd place in La Liga, and to achieve that, the southerners have to beat the islanders in the next round of the Primera División.

Betis are having a phenomenal season. The Greens are a half-step away from the final of the Copa del Rey, sitting in third place in La Liga, i.e. in the Champions League zone, and now also a half-step away from the Europa League round of 16, after an away victory over Zenit St. Petersburg at the Gazprom Arena. Betis have 10 points earned in their last five games in the Primera, second only to Barcelona in terms of form, a statistic that only proves the excellent form of the team. Betis' home stats are 9th in the division, 50% wins in 12 games.

Knocked out of the Copa del Rey by Rayo Vallecano, Mallorca played two matches in La Liga against Cadiz and Athletic, resulting in a 2-1 away win over the southerners and a 3-2 home win over the Basques. Thanks to this streak, Mallorca have risen to 15th place in the standings, six points ahead of Alavés in the relegation zone. The islanders can heave a sigh of relief, because in the near future the relegation zone will not threaten Mallorca. Mallorca has one of the worst away stats in the division, with only two wins in 11 games and seven losses.

• Betis: Bravo, Camarasa, Miranda, Montoya will not play.
• Mallorca: Baba, Greif will not play.

Mallorca and Betis drew 1-1 in the first part of La Liga 2021/22, though the Pirates can hardly be called an uncomfortable opponent for the Greens. The southerners currently have a tough schedule, but the motivation is high, and Mallorca, with all due respect to the islanders, is not the Spanish grandee. Whatever the result of the upcoming game will be, Real Betis will retain 3rd place in the La Liga standings. That said, losing points in a home game against a bottom-seeded team is a sign of bad form. They may not win big, but it is necessary to get three points. Betis and Mallorca have been regularly pleasing us with productive matches lately, so we hope for another match seeing Total Over.
