Betis vs Mallorca Prediction 23 Sep 2024

⚽ LaLiga - Round 6 Preview

📅 23 Sep 2024

⏰ 20:00 GMT +1

🏟 Estadio Benito Villamarín (Sevilla)

Real Betis come into this match riding the momentum of back-to-back home victories in La Liga, with the chance to extend their winning streak to three matches at the Estadio Benito Villamarín for the first time in nearly ten months. Betis have dominated Mallorca in recent encounters, boasting an impressive ten-match unbeaten record (W8, D2) against them. This includes five straight wins, with three clean sheets. While Betis have been slow starters, scoring in the first half in only one of their last seven league games, they are tough to beat once they score first, having avoided defeat in their last 11 matches when doing so (W8, D3).

Mallorca, under the guidance of former Osasuna manager Jagoba Arrasate, have made a solid start to the season. They are just behind Betis on goal difference, despite playing an extra game. A win in Seville would give Mallorca their best start to a La Liga season in 12 years. They are also chasing consecutive league wins and away victories, a feat they haven’t achieved since 2023 and 2022, respectively. However, Mallorca has struggled when conceding first against Betis, losing the last eight head-to-head encounters where they let in the opener.
