On Saturday night, Real Mallorca and Real Betis go head-to-head at the Estadi Mallorca Son Moix as the two teams battle it out in La Liga.
How have the two teams performed in recent weeks?Real Mallorca’s recent form in La Liga has been inconsistent, as the Islanders head into this clash on the back of one defeat in their last five outings in the Spanish top flight. However, Mallorca have drawn five of their previous eight games in La Liga.
Real Betis have found wins hard to come by in the Liga, as they have won just once in their previous seven outings in the top-flight, suffering two defeats in their last three outings in La Liga.
Mallorca looking to move further away from the relegation zoneThe home team may not have picked up lots of recent wins, but the points have been enough to move Javier Aguirre’s team five points clear of the relegation zone.
Betis have fallen away in the race for the European spots in the Spanish top flight, as they are currently in ninth place in the table, four points adrift of the top six.
Both teams have been involved in low-scoring games of lateNeither team has been involved in many high-scoring games lately in the Spanish top flight. There have been under 2.5 goals scored in 12 of the home teams’ 13 matches in La Liga.
The visitor's recent top-flight matches have also been low-scoring, as eight of their previous ten outings have produced under 2.5 goals.
Lots of home and away drawsMallorca have become draw specialists of late on home soil, as seven of their last nine Liga matches have ended all square. Meanwhile, six of Real Betis’ seven away games in La Liga have finished in draws.
What am I backing?This could be an even clash, with very little between the two teams. The bet I am backing is under 2.5 goals scored, following the theme of both team's recent games.
