Real Betis won 2-1 at home against Getafe in their last match, achieving back-to-back victories in the league and showing signs of recovery. This season, Real Betis has undergone significant player changes, which contributed to a sluggish start. However, as time has passed, the performance has improved. In the last five matches, Real Betis has recorded three wins, one draw, and one loss, with the only defeat coming against Real Madrid. During these five matches, Real Betis scored a total of seven goals while conceding only three, and managed to keep clean sheet in three of those games, showing significant improvement in both the attacking and defensive performances. Additionally, in the four home matches played so far this season, Real Betis has remained unbeaten with three wins and one draw, demonstrating a strong home performance.
Mallorca pulled off a minor upset by defeating Real Sociedad 1-0 at home in the last match. As a mid-to-lower-tier team in La Liga, Mallorca narrowly avoided relegation last season by finishing 15th. This summer, Mallorca has been active in the transfer market to strengthen the overall strength of the team. At the same time, they appointed a new head coach, Jagoba Arrasate, who has brought new tactical ideas and playing style to the team. Counter-attacking has become their main tactical approach. When facing stronger opponents, Mallorca focuses on solid defense and looks for opportunities to counterattack, aiming to secure points while maintaining a strong defensive foundation.
Overall, Real Betis clearly has the upper hand over Mallorca in terms of performance and strength. In their last five encounters, Real Betis has won all of them, holding an overwhelming advantage. Considering Real Betis’s strong home performance, it is likely that Mallorca will struggle to make an impact in this match.
