Real Betis vs Real Mallorca Preview

Real Betis

Real Betis’ 2-1 victory over Getafe may have seemed routine, but it was only their second win of the season after their earlier 2-0 defeat to Real Madrid. 

The contrast in coaching styles between Betis’ Manuel Pellegrini and Getafe’s José Bordalás once again sparked tension. In a highly emotional match, with eight yellow cards for Getafe and Bordalás himself being sent off indicated Getafe’s frustration.

The post-match press conference turned into another battleground in an exchange between the two managers that has become a familiar spectacle. 

Pellegrini criticized Getafe’s approach, remarking to DAZN, “I don’t think that’s football,” and called for collaboration between coaches and referees to prevent teams from focusing solely on results. Bordalás quickly fired back, accusing Pellegrini of disrespect and suggesting that Betis’ style also bordered on “anti-football.”  

Real Betis now face Mallorca, hoping to avoid another round of controversy in the press as they focus on their performance on the pitch.

Real Mallorca

Real Mallorca’s La Liga campaign has been unpredictable, with a perfectly balanced record of two wins, two losses, and two draws. 

Los Piratas have scored in each of their last three games, including a 1-0 victory against Real Sociedad. Mallorca’s head coach, Jagobe Arrasate, acknowledged the win as a confidence boost ahead of their tricky away match against Real Betis. 

Real Sociedad’s coach, Imanol Alguacil, said that both teams played at a similar level. However, Mallorca capitalized on a penalty that turned out to be the decisive factor.

However, Mallorca suffered a significant blow with the injury of star forward Vedat Muriqi, who is probably out for a month. 

Arrasate will now need to find attacking alternatives. Abdón Prats a likely candidate to step up after his strong 30-minute cameo against Real Sociedad, but whether Prats can lead the team effectively over the next few weeks remains a question.

Real Betis vs Real Mallorca Prediction

• Prediction: Real Betis to win
• Odds: 1.88 (22Bet)
• Score Prediction: Real Betis 2-1 Real Mallorca

Real Betis will still be without key players such as Isco and Bartra. However, William Carvalho’s absence in midfield will be especially felt. 

However, Diego Llorente’s recent defensive performances have been a major boost for Pellegrini’s side. Betis will likely control possession but will face a well-organized mid-block from Mallorca, a defensive structure Arrasate honed during his time at Osasuna. 

Betis will have to exploit the wings to avoid the same pitfalls that plagued Real Sociedad’s build-up play. Additionally, the absence of Muriqi weakens Mallorca’s counter-attacking threat, making it easier for Betis to maintain control of the game.

Mallorca’s away support from their fans is expected to be limited as the game kicks off on Monday evening, which could play into Betis’ hands. 

Real Betis vs Real Mallorca Betting Tip

• Odds: 2.24 (22Bet)

Real Betis managed to maintain clean sheets until their intense clash with Getafe, but this upcoming match against Mallorca is likely to see both teams find the back of the net. 

While Mallorca will be without Muriqi, their attacking ability hasn’t vanished completely. Moreover, Real Betis has historically struggled with defensive consistency, which could allow Mallorca to score.
