The final match of the 25th round of the Spanish La Liga will take place on Monday at the Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán Stadium, where Sevilla will host Mallorca. With both teams eager for points, this encounter promises to be exciting.
Sevilla, under the guidance of manager García Pimienta, delivered stunning performance last time out, defeating Valladolid 4-0. This victory marked their first win after three games without success, where they mustered two draws and one loss. The Andalusian side has now climbed to 12th place and extended their cushion over the relegation zone to eight points. Recently, they have avoided defeat in five of their last six La Liga matches, notching two wins and three draws. Yet, their home form leaves room for improvement—Sevilla has only secured one win from their last five home games.
On the other side, Mallorca has experienced a resurgence, claiming two consecutive results as they aim to solidify their position. The Palma team recently earned 1-1 against Osasuna before achieving a noteworthy 3-1 victory over Las Palmas. Before this turn of events, they had found themselves mired in three consecutive defeats, failing to score even once. Presently, Mallorca sits seventh, trailing just one point behind the European qualification spots. Notably, they have not drawn any of their away matches this season, posting five wins and six losses on the road.
Head-to-head history adds another layer of intrigue to this match. The teams faced off earlier this season to a 0-0 draw, which was unremarkable compared to their usual competitive spirit. Reviewing past encounters, Sevilla holds the advantage with five victories, three draws, and only one win for Mallorca across their last nine matchups.
Turning to the predicted lineups, Sevilla will likely field Ørjan Nyland, Kike Salas, José Carmona, Nemanja Gudelj, Adrià Pedrosa—accompanied by Juanlu Sánchez, Lucien Agoumé, Djibril Sow—while their attacking threat includes Dodi Lukébakio, Isaac Romero, and Ruben Vargas. Conversely, Mallorca might line up with Dominik Greif, Martin Valjent, and Antonio Raíllo, with their midfield anchored by Dani Rodríguez and Omar Mascarell, continuing on to attack with players like Vedat Muriqi.
The betting perspective sways slightly favorably toward Sevilla, who are currently listed at approximately 2.15 by bookmakers for the win. Observers might perceive this as valuable, particularly because both teams' recent performances suggest the potential for fewer goals. An apt betting option could be “Under 2.0 Total Goals” available at odds of 1.91, hinting at the possibility of tight contest, possibly dimmed by Sevilla's home struggles.
Analysts are weighing the option of betting on Sevilla's outright win, highlighted by their current odds of 2.05. Since these odds are reflective of their solid form, particularly after last week's performance, it seems prudent to back them to secure the full three points against Mallorca. An additional consideration may also be to place bets concerning the correct score predicting Sevilla's win by 1-0, which holds appealing odds at 5.60.
With both teams pushing for much-needed points, the match promises to be intense. Recent trends from statistics may also reflect on corner predictions, as Sevilla has covered the 4.5 corners line across three consecutive home matches, whereas Mallorca average as high as 7.20 per game over the last five outings. This match should not only entertain but also provide plenty of betting excitement as the teams clash.
All things considered, expect Sevilla to capitalize on home advantage, but not without challenging Mallorca's spirited attempts to climb the league table. If recent form holds, we could witness another tightly contested game with goals at a premium.
