Mallorca

Mallorca currently sits in 12th place in La Liga with 20 points, having won 6, drawn 2, and lost 8 of their 16 matches played.

They come into this match on the back of a 2-1 away defeat to Real Betis. They have won just one of their last 5 matches, losing 3 and drawing 1.

Athletic Club

Athletic Club is 8th in La Liga with 23 points, having won 7, drawn 2, and lost 7 of their 16 matches played.

They come into this match on the back of a 1-0 home defeat to Real Madrid. They have won 2, drawn 2, and lost 1 of their last 5 matches.

Head-to-Head

The two teams have met 48 times in all competitions, with Athletic Club winning 22, Mallorca winning 12, and 14 draws.

In their last meeting, which was in La Liga in January 2022, Athletic Club won 2-0.

Prediction

This is a tough match to call, as both teams are evenly matched. However, I think Athletic Club's slightly better form and their recent victory over Real Madrid will give them the edge.

I predict that Athletic Club will win 2-1.
