Sevilla vs Mallorca Prediction 24 February 2025
🔊 Will the “islanders” find themselves in the European competition zone by the end of the 25th round of La Liga? Monday evening will delight us with an intriguing clash between Sevilla and Mallorca. Despite the teams being in different parts of the league table, they are separated by only 3 points. A very intriguing encounter, which is set to be officiated by a team of referees led by Alejandro Ruiz, will take place on the pitch of “Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan.” The preliminary predictions from bookmakers are as follows: victory for the “Nervionenses” - 2.05, victory for the “Cinnabar” - 4.
Head-to-Head
At the very start of the season, the teams were unable to determine the stronger side at "Iberostar" - 0:0. Let's note that Sevilla has not lost to Mallorca at home for the last 4 matches - 3 victories and 1 draw. The previous success of the "vermilion" at "Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan" dates back to the 2012/13 Copa del Rey.
Head-to-head statistics Sevilla - Mallorca
Sevilla FC Team Overview
García Pimienta continues to experience ups and downs in his debut coaching season in Seville. The "Nervionenses" secured a highly convincing victory in the last league round against Valladolid (4-0). However, the club's standing in the tournament remains unenviable, sitting at only 13th position. Let's focus on some intriguing tactical aspects that were characteristic of the "Sevillistas" last weekend. The Spanish specialist decided to offset Saul's absence by deploying Ruben Vargas in a narrower position. Thus, the Swiss player was not tied to the flank and played the role of an inverted winger with regular shifts towards the center of the field. This move largely paid off, as the 26-year-old recorded an assist in the moment leading to Juanlu Sanchez's winning goal. We remind you that García Pimienta prefers to use a 4-2-3-1 formation with situational transformation into a 4-3-3. This setup involves a significant percentage of ball possession and high intensity from players on the opponent's half. Injured players continue to include Eykor Adams, Sambi Lokonga, and Nianzou Kouassi.

RCD Mallorca Team Overview
The "Cinnabar Reds" continue to remain in the race for a spot in the European competition campaign for next season. Currently, Mallorca is just 1 point away from the 6th position in the league standings. It's important to note the low scoring factor of the club from Palma de Mallorca - 0.96 goals per game (16th in the league). Jagoba Arrasate's tactical model is based on active counter-pressing and a focus on vertical football when transitioning from defense to attack. It's easy to notice that when a free player appears on the flank, the teams of the Spanish specialist always try to find him with a pass as quickly as possible. This allows them to overcome the first stage of pressing from the opponent and also gain some positional advantage on the opponent's half of the field. One of the most important roles in Mallorca is played by forward Vedat Muriqi, who excels at playing with his back to the opponent's goal and "in the air." This season, the Kosovar has already made 8 goal contributions in La Liga. In the "Islanders'" infirmary, Manu Morlanes continues to recover from a knee injury.

⚽️ GOALS PREDICTION
Both teams are not known for high scoring this season: Sevilla - 1.2, Mallorca - 1. In this situation, the following trend is curious: in 8 out of the last 9 head-to-head encounters between the "Nervionenses" and the "Islanders," there were no more than two goals scored. It seems the teams will once again focus on a slow build-up in attacks and cautious play near their own goals. We will go with total under 2.5 goals.
🚩 CORNERS PREDICTION
The "Islanders" are characterized by a negative trend in corner kicks in the current La Liga season: 4.1 against 5.7. Note that Garcia Pimienta's team is characterized by the opposite situation: 5.2 against 4.3. Finally, it's important to note the ratio of corners earned and conceded in the teams' head-to-head encounters: 6.8 against 3.8 in favor of Sevilla. Our choice is victory for Sevilla in corner kicks.
Editorial Prediction
Sevilla traditionally performs well in head-to-head encounters with Mallorca. The last victory for the "Cinnabar Reds" at "Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan" in the Spanish La Liga dates back to the distant 2010/11 season - 2:1. There is no doubt that the home team will try to take the initiative and maintain more ball possession. The return of Saul to the lineup will likely improve the movement of play on the opponent's half of the field. Our prediction for the final score is 1:0. The key choice is a victory for Sevilla.
