Our prediction for this Primera Division match:
Buoyed by a 2-1 win over Osasuna, Real Betis will look to give fans yet another reason to celebrate when they take on Mallorca on Saturday afternoon. Los Beticos aim to move closer to the Europa League berth, but they will have to showcase their worth on the field. All Borja Iglesias, Sergi Altimira, Marc Bartra, and Nabil Fekir are sidelined with injuries, while Youssouf Sabaly is a major doubt.
Los Bermellones, on the other hand, played out a boring goalless draw with Getafe at the weekend and given their difficulties on the road, we predict that Real Betis are going to emerge triumphant in the Estadio Benito Villamarin clash. Midfielder Sergi Darder is sidelined with a muscle injury, but he should be the only absentee in the visiting team. You should know that los Beticos are eyeing their fourth consecutive win over los Bermellones in the Spanish top flight.
