Mallorca vs Sevilla prediction: Low-scoring draw at Son Moix
Key stats
- Our Mallorca vs Sevilla betting tips take into account that only three of the home team’s last 17 games have produced over 2.5 goals.
- Sevilla have gone six matches without winning in La Liga.
- Six of their last nine away games in the Spanish top flight have served up under 2.5 goals.
Correct score prediction: Mallorca 1-1 Sevilla
With one point from two games so far under new management, neither side has really managed to find that instant bounce that sometimes happens when a new coach takes charge. With Mallorca drawing 42% of their league games last term, there’s strong reason to fancy this to end level with neither side showing enough to suggest they’ll claim maximum points.
Pre-game odds and win probability: Mallorca the favourites with home advantage
- HOME: 6/5 (2.20) – 45.5%
- DRAW: 21/10 (3.10) – 32.3%
- AWAY: 12/5 (3.40) – 29.4%
*odds from Ladbrokes, subject to change
The Balearic islanders are the favourites according to the Mallorca vs Sevilla odds with an implied probability of 45.5% that they win the game.
They head into this following a trip to Osasuna at the weekend, which ended in an unhappy return for Jagoba Arrasate as his new side lost 1-0 to a Ruben Garcia strike.
Meanwhile it was a 2-1 defeat for Sevilla on Friday at home to Villarreal, despite a fine goal from Dodi Lukebakio.

Mallorca preview: No major injury concerns
Mateu Morey and Javi Llabres are both carrying injuries for the hosts, although neither would feature in Arrasate’s best lineup. Leo Roman could rotate in between the sticks.

Player to watch – Saul
Sevilla handed a debut to Saul on Friday night and despite a defeat, it was an impressive performance from the Atletico Madrid loanee. The 29-year-old was once a midfielder regular for Diego Simeone, but only made 14 league starts last term, registering one goal and five assists.
A positive debut
In his first appearance for his new team, Saul registered four attempts on goal and completed 86.2% of his passes. He also made one key pass in an encouraging debut.
