Getafe vs Mallorca prediction: SPAIN: LaLiga betting tips on match 2024-05-25 12:00.
[p]Rooted in mid-table, Getafe are a team with very little to play for, and their recent league form only emphasises that. The Azulones have suffered defeats in each of their last four outings – failing to score a single goal in each of those losses – making up a sequence of just one league win since the end of March (D2, L5), suggesting manager JosĂ© Bordalás has work to do this summer. [/p]
[p]While they could have arguably achieved more had it not been for their rotten recent run, Getafe are at least assured of a league finish that betters 15th, which is what they managed in each of the last three campaigns. They sit in 12th, but could even finish inside the top-ten should other results fall in their favour, and a 100% record against the three other sides in the bottom-four should inspire confidence they can at least take care of their own business against Mallorca here. [/p]
[p]Although Mallorca sit just a place above the drop zone, their survival was confirmed last weekend after Cádiz’s 0-0 draw at home to Las Palmas was coupled with their own 2-2 draw at home to AlmerĂa, leaving them four points clear ahead of this final round. As a result, the Pirates now head into the summer gearing up for an impressive fourth successive campaign in Spain’s top-flight. [/p]
[p]With the pressure off, we might well see the visitors add to what has been some solid form to close out the season. Mallorca have lost only one of their past five league matches (W1, D3) and have a pretty imposing record against fellow sides sitting inside the bottom-ten, with just two of their 17 matches against such teams ending in defeat (W6, D9).[/p]
[p]Players to watch: Getafe defender Djené Dakonam is often walking a tightrope, with only one La Liga player having picked up more yellow cards this season (14). Mallorca midfielder Sergi Darder has stepped up in the business end of the season, scoring his only two league goals across his last two games. [/p]
[p]Hot stat: Mallorca have failed to score in five of the last six H2Hs (W1, D2, L3). [/p]
