Our prediction for this Primera Division match:
Monday’s football game between Mallorca and Athletic Club will bring down the curtain on day 24 of the current La Liga campaign. Los Bermellones desperately needed a win against Cadiz, and they managed to get one, with the team putting an end to their four-match losing run. Mallorca are five points clear of the relegation zone, but they need to be at their sharpest in the remainder of the season if they are to secure the elite division survival.
January signing Vedad Muriqi, who scored on his Mallorca debut at the weekend, will be the man to watch in the home team, while defender Franco Russo is back from suspension. The Lions, on the other hand, did well to beat Espanyol 2-1 in their last league match, but beating Mallorca on the road is easier said than done. Taking everything into account, we believe punters from all four corners of the world can find value in betting on draw. Nico Williams and Unai Vencedor should be the only absentees in the away team.
Highlighted Player (Joan Sastre):
Joan Sastre, who started his youth career at Mallorca back in 2009, has been playing for los Bermellones ever since. Sastre made his senior debut with Mallorca in a 1-0 win over Peralada on August 20, 2017 and he scored his first ever goal for the islanders in a 1-1 draw with Badalona on December 10, 2017.
The pacey right back was born in Porreres, Spain on April 30, 1997 and it has to be noted that he has two caps with la Roja U19 team. Joan Sastre has established himself as a first-team regular at Mallorca, with the defender making 29 appearances in the Segunda Division last term.
The Spaniard was deployed in the starting line-up for the decider against Deportivo La Coruna where Mallorca emerged triumphant (3-0) and secured promotion to La Liga. Joan Sastre’s contract with los Bermellones should expire on June 30, 2023. His preferred foot is right.
Highlighted Team (Athletic Bilbao):
Athletic Club (mostly known as Athletic de Bilbao) is a Spanish football club from the Bask region which is playing currently in the Primera Division. The club from Bilbao is playing in the highest Spanish division since its founded in 1928 and is next to Real Madrid and FC Barcelona for a longest period of time in the Primera Division.

Since 2013 the club is playing in anew stadium. Athletic Bilbao is known for its rivalry with Real Madrid. Atletico Madrid was founded by Bask students in Madrid. The old relationship between both teams is visible in the red blue jerseys of both teams.
The second team Athletic de Bilbao is playing in the Segunda Division B in Spain. Athletic Bilbao won the Primera Division 8 times, the Copa del Rey 24 times, the Spanish super cup 2 times. Athletic de Bilbao didn’t won any prizes in Europe yet but managed to be the runner up in 1977 and 2012 in the UEFA cup.
