Correct score prediction: Mallorca 1-0 Real Betis
Betis have big injury problems heading into this match, and they are not looking convincing right now, with Manuel Pellegrini struggling to find the right formula.
They could well slip up again here, with Mallorca usually strong at home. Jagoba Arrasate’s side had a really bad half at Villarreal last time out, but they’d won four out of six in La Liga prior to that, and look capable of bouncing back here.

Player to watch – Vedat Muriqi
Betis may even end up needing to play midfielder Marc Roca in defence, such are their injury problems here. That’s an invitation to Mallorca striker Vedat Muriqi, who is very strong in the air, and has registered three goals in 15 league appearances this term.
Muriqi’s aerial threat
The Kosovo international averages 5.2 aerial challenges won per game in LaLiga this term. That’s more than any other player who could feature in this match.
