Mallorca vs Real Betis prediction 25.01.2025 | La Liga

• Competition: La Liga
• Date: Saturday, 25th January, 2025
• Kickoff: 13:00 UK / 14:00 CET
• Venue: Estadi Mallorca Son Moix (Palma de Mallorca)

Last year, Mallorca had a terrible La Liga season as they finished 15th, only seven points away from the danger zone. On the other hand, they had a fantastic run in the Copa del Rey, reaching the Finals, but they eventually lost to Athletic Bilbao. This season, the team from the Canarian Islands is doing a much better job in the league, as they are holding 6th place with 30 points in 20 rounds. However, this time, they failed to do well in the Cup, losing to Pontevedra in the 1/16 Finals.

In the last four seasons, Real Betis were between fifth and seventh place in La Liga, constantly securing Europe. This season, the Andalusian team isn't on an expected level, considering they sit in 12th place with 25 points from 20 matches. While they had a good stretch of games in December, after losing three in a row in all competitions, we can safely say they are in a slump right now.

Mallorca vs Real Betis pick: Both teams to score

Both teams' defenses have totally crumbled in recent games. Mallorca lost three in a row in all competitions while allowing ten goals - 3.33 per game. Meanwhile, Real Betis lost three in a row with nine conceded goals - 3.0 per game. So, expecting a clean sheet from either side seems unrealistic.

Also, Mallorca have been fairly efficient at home, scoring at least one goal in seven out of the last ten games at Estadi Mallorca Son Moix. When it comes to Real Betis away from home, we can see they are scoring pretty regularly as well and have done so at least once in five out of the last six games in all competitions - 83.3%.

In the previous h2h game, Mallorca won 2:1. Considering the previous h2h game, both teams' terrible defensive performances, and all the above, we believe that both teams scoring bet seems like the option for this La Liga tie.
