Betting on Mallorca
The 2023 season didn’t bring many troubles for Mallorca. Despite not having its best performance, the team managed to reach the middle of the standings with 11 wins, seven draws, and 13 losses.
Although this record was enough to avoid relegation, it wasn’t enough to fight for international competitions. Therefore, Mallorca’s goal now is to finish the season strong and to improve its performance, since it has scored 30 goals and conceded 34 so far.
Even though the team lost its last game against Atlético de Madrid, its season has been inconsistent, since it has won two games, drawn two, and lost one in the last five matches.
Possible Lineup (5-3-2): Predrag Rajković; Antonio Sánchez, Martin Valjent, Antonio Raillo, Dennis Hadžikadunić, Pablo Maffeo; Iñigo Ruiz de Galarreta, Lee Kang-in, Manuel Morlanes; Vedat Muriqi, Amath Ndiaye.
Betting on Athletic Bilbao
Athletic Bilbao has had an up-and-down season, with 13 wins, seven draws, and 11 losses so far. Nevertheless, this record still gives it a chance to qualify for international competitions.
Athletic Bilbao has recently lost by the minimum scoreline against Sevilla, but this was the only defeat the Basque team suffered in the last six matches, where it also secured five victories and one draw. That was a good run of form that undoubtedly helped the team climb up the standings.
Now, it has to play on enemy grounds, but this does not bother its players. The statistics show that Athletic Bilbao is the fifth-best team playing away. In this context, it has won the last three away games.
Possible Lineup (4-2-3-1): Unai Simón; Óscar De Marcos, Dani Vivian, Yeray Álvarez, Yuri Berchiche; Mikel Vesga, Dani García; Oihan Sancet, Nico Williams, Iñaki Williams; Gorka Gruzueta.
JefeBet Prediction
This match is crucial for Athletic Bilbao, as it suffered a defeat in its previous game, and now needs a win to have a chance at playing in European cups next season.
On the other hand, Mallorca is not competing for anything but pride, and its main objective is to finish this calendar year on a high note. This is why at JefeBet we expect a win for the visitors in the upcoming Mallorca vs Athletic Bilbao thrilling encounter.
