Sevilla vs Mallorca Prediction 18 October 2025
🔈 Can Matias Almeyda's squad overcome La Liga's biggest underperformers after eight rounds? One of Saturday's standout fixtures in La Liga is the clash between Sevilla and Mallorca at the Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán. The "Islanders" have had a dreadful start to the season and currently sit at the bottom of the league standings. The "Nervionenses," on the other hand, seem to have found balance across their lines and have surged into the top six, giving fans hope as they gear up for a fierce battle for European competition spots. Considering Sevilla's home advantage and Mallorca's dismal form, bookmakers are giving Sevilla a threefold edge.
Head-to-Head
📊 In the last La Liga season, neither team managed to come out on top, with a 0-0 draw at the "Iberostar" and a 1-1 stalemate at the "Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan".

In the national league, Mallorca haven't claimed a win at the Seville arena since 2010. Let's note the average scoring rates in their head-to-head history: Sevilla at 1.49 and Mallorca at 0.96.
Head-to-head statistics Sevilla - Mallorca
Sevilla Team Overview
🔴 The "Nervionenses" are riding a wave of emotion, having lost just once in their last six matches. Currently, Matias Almeyda's side sit 6th in the league standings and are in the hunt for a Champions League spot. Notably, after eight rounds, Sevilla average around 1.88 goals per game while conceding approximately 1.38. However, their home form leaves much to be desired, with only 4 points from 4 matches. Interestingly, this calendar year, the "Nervionenses" have secured just two official victories-against Las Palmas (1-0) and Barcelona (4-1).
⚪ In the last round of La Liga, the "Nervionenses" pulled off a miracle, thrashing one of the title contenders-Barcelona (4-1). The Argentine coach not only had his team physically ready but also outmaneuvered Hansi Flick tactically. The expected goals ratio was 2.79 to 2.25 in Sevilla's favor, highlighting their sharpness in the attacking third and justifying their convincing win. Under Matias Almeyda's guidance, the team is known for its pragmatism and quick vertical transitions from defense to attack.

Mallorca Team Overview
🔴 Jagoba Arrasate faces a clear challenge at Mallorca: to build a cohesive team capable of competing with the top clubs in the league, while maintaining a notably conservative tactical style. However, the start of the new season hasn't gone as planned-just one win in the opening eight rounds. Currently, the "Islanders" find themselves at the bottom of La Liga, having accumulated only 5 points. Their away performances have been particularly disappointing, as they have failed to earn a single point in four attempts-the worst record in the league.
⚫ In the last round, Mallorca traveled to San Mamés to face Athletic Bilbao (1-2). Arrasate's side struggled to pose any attacking threat, resulting in a deserved victory for the "Basques," consistent with the run of play. Under the Spanish manager, the "Islanders" typically deploy a 4-2-3-1 formation, with maintaining compactness across the lines being a priority for establishing defensive stability. Notably, Mallorca currently averages 0.88 goals per game while conceding an average of 1.63.

Sevilla
🎤 Ahead of the crucial clash with Mallorca, Lucien Agoume attended the club's press conference. Let's highlight the key points from his address: "Winning makes the weeks much more enjoyable, and over the past 10 days, we've been working with smiles on our faces, always thinking about what we need to do to keep winning matches. It was just one victory, and we continue to work hard, hoping for more wins like that day. I believe there's been a shift in mentality. We had two very tough years, and I think we all started this season determined that there won't be a third because this club deserves so much more. With the new players who have joined, I think we have a very strong team. We've talked about this, including with the coach, who also played here and shares the same view. The changes this year are tied to mentality, and on the pitch, we're becoming more confident. People had lost a lot of self-belief, and this year we're trying to restore it for everyone."
❌ The participation of Alfonso Gonzalez (ankle injury), Joan Jordan (back injury), and Nianzou Kouassi (muscle injury) remains doubtful for the upcoming match.
Mallorca
📰 Just recently, Jan Virgili returned to the club from the Youth World Cup, where he stood out as one of the main talents for the "Islanders." During the tournament, the 19-year-old helped Spain reach the quarter-finals, contributing with two points (1 goal, 1 assist). Upon his arrival in Mallorca, he spoke to the media: "I think having the chance to play in the U-20 World Cup is an incredible experience that every teenager dreams of. Personally, I'm very pleased. I was able to help the team as much as I could, and now I eagerly look forward to contributing to Mallorca. I played many minutes and, most importantly, gained confidence. Two years ago, I was playing for the youth team at 'Nàstic de Tarragona,' and now I'm competing in La Liga. Yes, everything happened very quickly, but I take it in stride. Above all, I must remain humble because without humility, you achieve nothing, and I need to keep moving forward."
❌ In the "Islanders'" infirmary, Takuma Asano (muscle injury), Marash Kumbulla (hamstring injury), and Omar Mascarell (muscle injury) remain sidelined. Due to suspension, Dani Rodríguez and Antonio Josabed will also be unavailable to help their team.
🟨 Yellow Card Prediction
It's worth noting that matches involving both teams this season have seen a high number of bookings: Sevilla average 5.6, while Mallorca have 5. In each of Sevilla's last five games, there have been at least five yellow cards. Jagoba Arrasate's squad plays with a competitive edge, so expect some heated moments. Our pick is over 4.5 total yellow cards.
⚽ Goal Prediction
Head-to-head clashes between Sevilla and Mallorca rarely feature a flurry of goals. The average goal tally in their encounters is just 2.1 per game, and in 9 out of the last 10 meetings, there have been no more than 2 goals scored. We anticipate a pragmatic approach from both sides, leading to plenty of battles but few goals. We suggest under 2.5 total goals.
🚩 Corner Prediction
In 8 of their last 10 head-to-head matches, there have been no more than 10 corner kicks. Notably, both Sevilla and Mallorca rank low in average corners earned this season, with Sevilla at 3.6 and Mallorca at 3.9. A cautious style of play, focused on maintaining compactness, is unlikely to produce a significant number of corner kicks. Our editorial choice is under 9.5 total corners.
Editorial Prediction
Sevilla are showing clear signs of recovery, and their upcoming home match is a prime opportunity to solidify their position in the league table and continue their push for a European spot. Mallorca, on the other hand, have been quite disappointing at the start of the season, and it's unclear how the "Islanders" can escape the relegation zone. Our editorial team predicts a final score of 2-0, with the key choice being a Sevilla victory.
