Command Analysis
Mallorca
SpainCurrent form
Only goal difference separates Mallorca and Athletic in La Liga, and the island club’s 17 points represent their best haul after ten top-flight games since 2009/10. Mallorca’s recent stunning home form has helped them achieve this, and back-to-back home wins have put them on the brink of three straight home wins in the top flight for the first time since June 2023.
It will be a tight game as all five of their league wins this season have come by one goal. In fact, none of their league games this season have been by more than one goal and with http://www.rcdmallorca.es/en target=_blank rel=noopener>the Red and Yellows having won nine of their last 12 La Liga home games played on Monday, they will be hoping to put that statistic to good use again.
Disqualifications and injuries
Asano (hip injury) and Pichu Cuellar (muscle injury) will not be able to take part in the fight.
Interesting trends for betting
- Mallorca veteran Dani Rodriguez had scored ten of his last 13 goals before the break, including two in victories for his side this season, although both came on the road.
Today the hosts will try to fully utilize not only the magic of Monday, but also continue their series of successful games on their home arena.
- Mallorca are one of only two teams in La Liga that have yet to drop a point after scoring their first goal this season.
Vedat Muriqi goal here will also move him into fifth place on Mallorca all-time goalscoring list - all of his last five goals for the club have been headers.
Estimated line-up : Greif - Mojica, Copete, Raillo, Morey - Lato, Darder, Samu, Morlanes, Larin - Prats.
Athletic Bilbao
SpainCurrent form
Athletic were involved in a tense midweek fixture when they beat Slavia Prague 1-0 in the UEFA Europa League to maintain their unbeaten record in the league this season. They are also in solid form in La Liga, with four wins in their last six games and just one defeat in their last 15 against Mallorca, which could give them hope of continuing that fine run.
Like the hosts, the visitors have an impressive record in La Liga encounters on Monday, having lost just one of their last 21 such games. Incredibly, that one defeat came on this very ground in 2022, so they would be wise to approach this encounter with a degree of trepidation, especially given that the 3-2 defeat is part of a four-game winless streak away from home in the league.
Injuries and disqualifications
Simon (wrist injury), Sunset (thigh injury) and Paredas (red card) will be out.
Interesting trends for betting
- The match could also be a landmark one for Athletic Oscar de Marcos, who if he features here would make the third-most appearances in the club history, making it his 542nd appearance for Athletic in all competitions
It is precisely the reliance on the individual skill of Bilbao players that can give some peace of mind to the team fans, but the statistics of head-to-head encounters tell a different story.
- Athletic have not lost before the break in La Liga this season
Another indicator that will either continue to exist or may be interrupted, because we know that the visitors are playing inconsistently, as are the islanders.
Probable lineup : Padilla - Rincon, Egueluz, Lecue, Boiro - Herrera, Canales, Olabar, Gomez - Javier, Williams.
