Betis vs Mallorca prediction: SPAIN: LaLiga betting tips on match 2025-11-01 20:00.
[p]After succumbing to just their second defeat of the La Liga season last weekend, Real Betis bid to bounce back against a struggling Mallorca. [/p]
[p]Match News and Current Form[/p]
[p]Not only did Betis’ 2-0 home defeat to Atlético Madrid on Monday end their eight-match unbeaten run across all competitions (W4, D4), but it also served as their first failure to score in the league this season. Goals were no issue in midweek when they dispatched lower-tier opposition 7-1 in the Copa del Rey, but as they return to their temporary home of Estadio de La Cartuja, questions remain over whether they can garner any momentum from their midweek exploits. Both of Betis’ La Liga defeats this season came on home soil, yet they’ll be quick to point out that both came against pre-round top-half sides and their record against bottom-half dwellers at home this term is much better (W3). [/p]
[p]Mallorca firmly fall into the category of a bottom-half side as only goal difference keeps them outside the relegation zone heading into this round. The Pirates have steadily improved as the season has gone on and have won seven of their nine La Liga points this term across the last four rounds (W2, D1, L1). One of those victories came at Sevilla in their last away league outing, affording them the chance to win back-to-back top-flight road trips for the first time since September 2024 here, but just one point collected from a possible 15 against pre-round top-half sides this season would suggest they face a gargantuan task here. [/p]
