Sevilla travel to the Balearic Islands on Monday evening aiming to secure consecutive La Liga victories, while Mallorca continue their battle to climb out of the bottom three.

The visitors currently sit 13th, whereas the hosts occupy 18th place, one point behind Getafe in the race for survival.

Mallorca

Mallorca enter this round with five wins, six draws and 10 defeats from their 21 league matches, leaving them on 21 points and inside the relegation zone. Last season they finished a respectable 10th—just four points off European qualification—but Jagoba Arrasate’s side have endured a far more difficult campaign this time around.

Three defeats in their last four La Liga outings underline their inconsistency, including a heavy 3-0 loss to Atlético Madrid in their previous match. However, they did claim all three points in their most recent home fixture, a thrilling 3-2 victory over Athletic Bilbao on January 17.

Mallorca’s strength this season has been at Son Moix. They have lost only twice in their 10 league matches at home, collecting an impressive 16 points. In contrast, Sevilla have taken 11 points from their 10 away games. Historically, Mallorca have struggled in this fixture—just 16 wins from 67 meetings—but they earned a morale‑boosting 3-1 victory at the Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán earlier this season.

Team News

Antonio Raíllo, Marash Kumbulla and Toni Lato are all injury doubts and will face late assessments. Vedat Muriqi, in outstanding form with 14 goals in 20 league appearances, will once again lead the attack.

No major surprises are expected in Arrasate’s lineup, with Sergi Darder set to operate as the creative presence in the No. 10 role.

Sevilla

Sevilla have beaten Mallorca only once in their last five attempts—a 2-1 home win in April 2024—but they have not won away at Son Moix since October 2022. Their hosts’ strong home record will therefore pose a significant test.

However, Matías Almeyda’s team arrive on a positive note following a much‑needed 2-1 victory over Athletic Bilbao, their first league success since mid‑December. Sevilla currently sit 13th with seven wins, three draws and 11 defeats from 21 matches, but the narrow three‑point gap above the relegation places keeps pressure firmly on their shoulders.

Goalscoring has not been an issue—28 goals scored—but defensive frailties persist, with 33 conceded, ranking among the worst records in the division.

Team News

Tanguy Nianzou and Rubén Vargas remain sidelined, while Adnan Januzaj requires a late test to determine his availability. Suspensions rule out Nemanja Gudelj and Marcao, but Batista Mendy returns after serving a ban.

Akor Adams, Sevilla’s top scorer this season with six goals across all competitions, will continue to lead the line.

Head‑to‑Head

This fixture has traditionally tilted in Sevilla’s favour, though recent meetings have been more balanced. Mallorca’s 3-1 win earlier this season marked one of their rare triumphs against Los Nervionenses.

Sevilla have won just once in the last five encounters, while Mallorca’s home form—only two league defeats at Son Moix—could prove decisive in what is typically a closely fought contest.

Conclusion

Sevilla travel with renewed confidence after ending their winless streak, but Mallorca’s strong home record and disciplined performances at Son Moix should not be underestimated.

With neither team convincing defensively and both under pressure near the bottom, a tight, low‑scoring draw appears the most likely outcome on Monday night.
