  • Competition: La Liga
  • Date: Monday, 28th October, 2024
  • Kickoff: 20:00 UK / 21:00 CEST
  • Venue: Estadi Mallorca Son Moix (Palma de Mallorca)

In recent years, Mallorca have been in the mid or lower part of the league's table. Last year, the team from the Balearic Islands finished 15th, just seven points away from the danger zone. However, the start of this season has been fantastic as the Pirates hold the 6th place with 17 points, just one point away from the Champions League spots! After such a good start, the goal for the Pirates has to be to reach Europe this year.

Athletico Bilbao came to this season after the best one in the eight years, finishing 5th with 68 points in 38 rounds. This year, the Basque team continued with good performances and are 5th with 17 points (tied with Mallorca). But Bibao are doing great in the Europa League as well, where they won seven points in three rounds and are the third favorite for the title, at least according to the bookies.

Mallorca vs Athletic Bilbao pick: Under 2.5 goals

The main reason for Mallorca's excellent start is their defense. They have allowed only eight goals in ten rounds, which is the third-lowest in the league, just behind Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid. Due to an awesome defense, they have been excellent for this type of bet, especially at home, where 80% of their games finished with fewer than three goals (four out of five).

Meanwhile, Athletico Bilbao are also pretty good defensively but have a better offensive potential. Still, they haven't been impressive lately. In the last six games, they scored just one goal on four occasions, and I believe they played teams that aren't on Mallorca's (defensive) level.

In the previous season, these teams met three times - twice in the league and once in the Cup. Two of those three games finished with fewer than three goals. Additionally, we saw fewer than three goals in four out of the last five h2h games.

Considering all the above, we believe that an under 2.5 goals bet should be the best option for this La Liga match.

Athletic Bilbao team news

After a 1:0 win against Slavia Prague, coach Ernesto Valverde spoke to the media. He said it was a valuable win because Slavia are a really good team. "I was expecting a game like this with much back and forth. We won but with a lot of pain and suffering," the coach added. 

Since Mikel Vesga and Oihan Sancet recovered from their injuries, goalkeeper Unai Simon should be the only injured player on the team. Also, Aitor Paredes served his one-game suspension against Espanyol and will be available.
