Athletic Club vs Mallorca Preview and Team News
Athletic Club News
Despite scoring through Iñaki Williams in the 50th minute against AS Roma, Athletic Club lost the first leg of the Round of 16. Substitute Eldor Shomurodov scored the winner in additional time (2-1). The encounter was even throughout the first half, but complacency in the final quarter allowed the rivals to equalise before ultimately winning the game.
Athletic Club also lost to Atlético de Madrid in LaLiga last weekend, ending their 16-match unbeaten run. Their last league defeat was their loss against Girona. The meeting against Los Colchoneros had a quiet first half, but the second was filled with chances as both teams launched intense counter-attacks.
🆙 A tough blow at the end, but we’ll pick ourselves up.
90 minutes left to turn this around. The Cathedral awaits.

However, only substitute Julián Álvarez found the net.
Íñigo Ruiz de Galarreta is suspended while Álvaro Djalo will be sidelined. Star midfielder Oihan Sancet returned to the pitch in the game against Roma.
Athletic Club predicted line-up vs Mallorca (4-2-3-1): Simón; Berchiche, Álvarez, Vivian, Gorosabel; Jaureguizar, Prados; I.Williams, Sancet, N.Williams; Berenguer.
Mallorca Team News
Mallorca have only won one of their previous five events, drawing against Alavés despite dominating the game. Takuma Asano scored their only goal in the first quarter of the match, but injuries and a lack of composure led to the opponents equalising through star striker Kike Garcia.
Injuries played a key role in the fixture. Mallorca’s Robert Navarro and Alavés’ Kike García were both forced off.

The Spanish squad also drew their recent encounter 1-1 against Sevilla. Jagoba Arrasate’s men struggled in the first half, with Los Nervionenses controlling the game but creating few clear chances early on.
However, winger Rubén Vargas broke through the defense from the wing and scored just before halftime. Mallorca’s Martin Valjent scored in second-half stoppage time after a mistake by Sevilla’s Nyland.
Roberto Navarro will be sidelined due to injury.
Mallorca predicted line-up vs Athletic Club (4-4-2): Greif; Lato, Raillo, Valjent, Maffeo; Morlanes, Darder, Mascarell, Asano; Rodriguez, Muriqi.
Bet hereAthletic Club vs Mallorca Prediction
- Prediction: Athletic Club to win
- Odds: 1.6 (22Bet)
- Score Prediction: Athletic Club 2-1 Mallorca
Sunday’s clash will be an example of what to do when the opponent plays a similar brand of football. Both teams are known for their solid mid-blocks and devastating counter-attacks.
With the return of Oihan Sancet and the absence of Kike, Athletic Club can expect to win at San Mamés. The stadium is known as one of the most difficult away venues, due to the unique atmosphere created by the home fanatics.
Furthermore, Mallorca’s poor form (one win in their last five) suggests the hosts will come into the match with confidence, despite losing their previous two games.
Athletic Club vs Mallorca Betting Tip
- Pick: Álex Berenguer to score
- Odds: 5 (22Bet)
Although Sancet and the Williams brothers are the first names that come to mind when discussing Athletic Club, Álex Berenguer has shown that his positioning in the penalty box is key to unlocking tight matches.
The focus on stopping the Williams brothers is likely to leave Sancet unmarked in the final third, which supports our pick.
