Interesting action at the bottom end of the La Liga standings will take place on Saturday, as Mallorca look to extend their two-match unbeaten streak. Sevilla will be the visitors, as they look to end their run of four draws in five matches.
La Liga Preview
Two sides that have been extremely disappointing across the opening months of the season will lock horns in La Liga this weekend. Mallorca will be playing with the home field advantage, as they look to enhance their position in the standings. At present, they sit 17th in La Liga after winning just once in their opening 15 matches. They also come into this fixture after playing out draws in each of their last two, and three of their previous five.
Sevilla’s disappointing league form has continued this campaign, as they remain closer to the bottom three than they do to the European spots. They come into this match sitting 15th in the standings, as they have won just twice in their opening 14 matches. Meanwhile, they have played out draws in four of their last five league matches.
Mallorca’s league form would be a massive cause for concern ahead of this home match, as they have gone ten fixtures without a victory in La Liga. That is their worst run of form under Javier Aguirre, and their worst overall form over the same period since going eleven without a victory between October and December 2012.
Sevilla’s recent record also offers little confidence, as the Spanish side haven’t won in eight league matches. They haven’t endured a longer winless sequence in the competition since going eleven without success in 2001. Corners could be once again their biggest strength this weekend, as they have netted a La Liga-high of five from setpieces this term.
Mallorca vs Sevilla Head to Head
Mallorca has gone six without a win in Sevilla in league matches. Their most recent success was a 2-1 win in March 2013. Over that period of six matches, they have suffered four defeats and they have scored just once. Meanwhile, Sevilla have suffered just one defeat in 15 away matches against Mallorca.
Mallorca vs Sevilla Prediction
Neither of these sides have shown much form in La Liga this term, and that would be a concern when it comes to making a selection. However, draws have been a common outcome in their previous matches, and that could be an angle worth siding with on Saturday.
