Mallorca vs Sevilla Prediction 2 February 2026
🔊 Will Sevilla's squad issues affect the final result? The headline fixture of La Liga's 22nd round is the clash between Mallorca and Sevilla at the "Iberostar". Both clubs are embroiled in the relegation battle. While the hosts find themselves within the relegation zone, the visitors have managed to pull three points clear of 18th place. Bookmakers are treading carefully when picking a favorite, giving a slight edge to the "Islanders".
Head-to-Head
📊 The clubs have already faced each other this season, back in October of the previous calendar year. On that occasion, the "Islanders" triumphed at the Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán with a 3-1 victory. Let's take a look at the outcomes over the last 10 head-to-head encounters: Mallorca have secured 2 wins, 4 matches ended in draws, and Sevilla claimed victory in 4 games. It's worth noting the low scoring rate for both sides in these meetings: the "Cinnabar Reds" average 0.7 goals, while the "Nervionenses" average 1.
Head-to-head statistics Mallorca - Sevilla
Mallorca Team Overview
🔴 Over their last five La Liga matches, Mallorca have managed just one win, a 3-2 victory over Athletic Bilbao. A lack of confidence and frequent positional lapses have contributed to their low standing in the league table, currently sitting at 18th. Interestingly, the "Islanders" have not been particularly impressive defensively either-unusual for teams under Jagoba Arrasate's management. On average, Mallorca concede 1.57 goals per game. However, it's worth noting that at the "Iberostar", Arrasate's side appears much more organized and disciplined. They've only suffered two home defeats in the current La Liga campaign.
⚫ In the last round of the national championship, Mallorca suffered a heavy defeat at the "Wanda Metropolitano" (0-3), with their lack of attacking ideas and build-up failures impacting the final result for the "Cinnabar Reds". Notably, Arrasate's team managed just one shot on target, with an expected goals (xG) tally of only 0.46. In comparison, "Los Colchoneros" achieved an xG of 1.47. Arrasate's tactical model is based on a 4-4-2 formation, although Mallorca can adapt their setup as needed during matches. The team's top scorer this season is Vedat Muriqi, who has netted 14 goals in 20 games (the second-best tally in the league).

Sevilla Team Overview
🔴 Sevilla's performances resemble a rollercoaster ride, characterized by a lack of consistency and high unpredictability. However, in their last two La Liga outings, they've managed to collect four points. Currently, the club from the eponymous city sits 13th in the league table, with 24 points from 21 matches. Their cushion above the relegation zone is a mere three points. It's worth noting their struggles on the road, with only three wins in ten attempts. Whether Matias Almeyda can devise an effective tactical plan remains to be seen.
⚪ In the previous La Liga round, Sevilla snapped a five-match winless streak across all competitions. Their victims were Athletic Bilbao (2-1). Goals from Peque and Eikora Adams secured the victory over the Basques. It's worth highlighting that the Nigerian forward has been the standout player in the last two matches, scoring three goals during this period. Matias Almeyda prioritizes defensive solidity, often employing a formation with three central defenders. Yet, the Argentine isn't rigid in his approach-he readily makes significant tactical adjustments from game to game as needed.

Latest news
Mallorca
🎤 Following the defeat at the Wanda Metropolitano, Jagoba Arrasate spoke to the media: "The end of the match is painful. We hoped to equalize, but Muriqi's strike didn't find the net, and then they scored their second. It's a tough result. We had a bit more possession and presence in their half. We pushed them back slightly on their own turf, and the idea was to try and create scoring opportunities, but they didn't materialize. Today was a missed opportunity, but we need to focus on tomorrow's training and have a good week so we can secure three points in front of our fans on Monday against Sevilla."
❌ In Mallorca's injury list are Marash Kumbulla (leg injury), Toni Lato (muscle injury), and Manu Morlanes (muscle injury).
Sevilla
🎤 Sevilla's head coach Matias Almeyda analyzed his team's 2-1 victory over Athletic: “I believe the commitment of the players is the key factor. The club is going through an important phase, and seeing them give their all makes me very happy; moreover, we've brought a bit of joy to our fans. We must keep going. With this dedication and sacrifice, I'm confident we will continue. It means a lot to me. The crowd gave us strength today after a mistake, and together we got through it, which makes me happy. Today we finished with many academy players; it's not easy for the youngsters to play with everything that entails. Once that changes, they will become great players.”
❌ Among Sevilla's injured players are Cesar Azpilicueta (calf injury), Adnan Januzaj (muscle injury), Marcao (knee injury), Nianzou Kouassi (muscle injury), Alexis Sanchez (hip injury), and Ruben Vargas (leg injury).
⚽ Goal Prediction
First and foremost, both clubs are struggling with defensive efficiency, conceding an average of 1.6 goals per game. Given this, it's reasonable to expect that these relegation battlers will frequently threaten each other's goal. It's also important to note a statistical trend: in 4 of Mallorca's last 5 matches, there have been at least 3 goals scored. Our editorial choice is over 2 goals total.
🚩 Corner Prediction
It's crucial to consider that neither Mallorca nor Sevilla can maintain defensive compactness throughout the match. Let's note the average number of corners conceded per game: the "Islanders" allow 6.7, while the "Nervionenses" concede 5. Moreover, head-to-head encounters typically see around 10.5 corners per match. We suggest considering this betting option: over 8.5 total corners.
Editorial Prediction
Neither team wants to face relegation, and they are doing everything possible to avoid a survival battle at the end of the season. Our editorial team considers the defensive struggles of both the "Cinabars" and "Nerivons"-neither side is known for their organization in build-up play. With this in mind, we anticipate a final score of 2-2. The key bet is both teams to score (yes).
