Real Betis - Mallorca predictions

Though Real Betis are more likely to win this, an away win would only be slightly surprising. It’s a relatively balanced matchup, which usually means we’ll see some exciting football.

From the current viewpoint, the situation is straightforward. Given the strength of Real Betis and the fact that Mallorca are given 5.01 odds to win, it is easy to see that an Mallorca victory would be a shocking surprise.

Los Verdiblancos are coming on the back of a narrow 2:1 home win against Getafe in the previous round of the La Liga. While their victory was by no means spectacular and secured thanks to a 1-goal advantage in the second half, it was still reassuring to the fans ar Estádio Do Algarve.

It would be safe to say that Mallorca were the underdogs in the previous round. The odds implied the game could have gone either way, but they were playing as the home team and the predictions weren’t too optimistic. However, they went into halftime with a lead and transitioned it into a 1:0 home win.

Mallorca seem to take on a rather passive role whenever they play as visitors. Records show two consecutive matches that featured less than 2 total goals between them and their opponents.

With 1 point between them and a Europa League qualifying spot, the hosts’ goals for this season are clear. They should be able to wrestle 3 points away from Mallorca this Monday.

Mallorca are 1 point behind a Europa League qualifying spot, and reaching it is likely their main goal for the time being. On one hand, the season is still in its early stages, leaving plenty of time to get there. On the other, this matchup against Los Verdiblancos is heavily in the home team’s favour, and the visitors will be lucky to earn even a single point.

The betting odds are clearly in the hosts’ favour, and the last time they clashed with Mallorca things went their way. In fact, they snagged a decisive victory with an advantage of more than two goals.

The hosts went through a slew of unfortunate injuries recently, rendering some of their players unavailable for the match this Monday. William Carvalho, Isco, Bartra will not be playing, though the team is still considered likely to win.

Decent offers are in short supply for this match, so our best tip is to risk an HT/FT bet and go for Draw/Home. It’s quite a bold offer to take at odds of 1.95, but the betting value makes it interesting.
