Command Analysis

Mallorca

Current form
Mallorca have had a difficult start to 2025, with two consecutive exits from cup competitions and a 4-0 defeat to Villarreal in La Liga. Despite this, Mallorca still have a chance to fight for European places, but the upcoming game against Betis could be a real test.
Their last home win against them dates back to 2013, adding to the pressure on the home side. Mallorca home form has been poor, averaging 1.17 points per game when conceding first, although they have shown character in recent games, recovering to win two of their three games. Not giving up after conceding remains their strong point.
Disqualifications and injuries
Mallorca are approaching the match against Betis with losses. Morlanes is injured (knee injury), which could affect the midfield, where the team is already experiencing difficulties.
Interesting trends for betting
- Only one of Mallorca last eight home games in La Liga has seen three or more goals scored, highlighting the team penchant for low scoring.
- In five of the team last seven games, the second half was more action-packed than the first.
- Abdon Prats is likely to be a key figure in attack, especially given his ability to score from both the penalty spot and open play.
Estimated line-up: Greif - Mojica, Copete, Raillo, Mafeo - Pichu, Darder, Samu, Gomes - Prats, Larin.

Real Betis

Current form
Betis remain in the middle of the table, still having a chance to fight for places in the European Cups. However, Manuel Pellegrini team is going through hard times: three defeats in a row in all competitions, including the exit from the cup, leave the green and whites to focus exclusively on La Liga. Despite the current decline, Betis can count on positive results against Mallorca.
Manuel Pellegrini has an impressive record against the island side, winning more against them than any other side. A boost could come from recent loan signing Anthony from Manchester United, who could make his debut in this game. Three wins in their last four away games against Mallorca give cause for optimism, although inconsistent Saturday performances this season add to the caution.
Disqualifications and injuries
Betis will be without several key players for the match against Mallorca: Carvalho (Achilles injury), Lo Celso (muscle injury), Rodriguez (muscle injury), Ruybal (ankle injury), Sabaly (muscle injury), Perraud (disqualified for a red card).
Interesting trends for betting
- Betis are unbeaten in their last seven meetings with Mallorca, highlighting their successful record against this opponent.
- The team have scored in each of their last six La Liga away games, indicating consistency in attack.
- Both teams to score have won seven of Betis' last ten matches.
- Nabil Fekir could be a key figure in attack given his ability to both assist and score important goals.
Tentative line-up: Silva - Juan Miranda, Nathan, Bartra, Llorente - Fekir, Rodri, Fornals - Diao, Bakambu, Perea

1.28Tip and bets
Both teams are known for their cautious style of play, especially in matches where the stakes on the result are high. Mallorca traditionally focuses on defensive organization, especially on its home field, which often leads to low-scoring matches. The team rarely engages in open football, preferring to minimize risks and play defensively. Betis, despite its attacking potential, has faced problems converting chances in recent away matches.
The current personnel losses, especially in the attacking line, may further affect their ability to penetrate the opponent tight defense. In addition, Mallorca is one of those teams that can dry out the game, especially against opponents who prefer to dominate the ball. The betting tip is supported by statistics: in three of Mallorca last five home matches, fewer than 2.5 goals were scored, as well as in four of Betis last five away matches. Moreover, both teams understand the importance of this match for the fight for points, which further increases the likelihood of a cautious game.
Our prediction is total under 2.5 goals with odds of 1.95
Bet on the outcome
Despite their problems this season, Mallorca have the ability to impose their style of play on home soil, where they often display a disciplined and effective defensive performance. Their ability to take advantage of rare chances in front of goal will be important, as will the support of the stands. Betis, on the other hand, have struggled with away results and are also suffering from significant personnel losses.
The absence of a number of key players could affect their attacking play, giving Mallorca a chance to minimise risks and take advantage of their chances. The hosts have the statistics on their side: in three of their last five home games against teams of Betis calibre, Mallorca have not only not lost, but also won twice. Their ability to hold on to the smallest of margins makes this outcome quite likely.
Prediction - Mallorca win with odds of 2.70
Bet on statistics
The game promises to be tense and closed, which will limit the number of scoring chances. This type of match usually results in a small number of corner kicks. Mallorca prefers to play through the center, minimizing the use of the flanks, and Betis in away matches often focus on maintaining control of the ball rather than creating a large number of set pieces. Given the style of play of both teams and the statistics of previous meetings, in which more than eight corners were rarely recorded, a low total in this category can be expected.
Betting Tip - total corners under 8.5 at odds of 2.05
