Getafe
In the last four rounds, the club alternated home victories with away defeats. During this stretch of the championship, they defeated Valladolid (2-0) and Espanyol (1-0) at home, while losing to Real Madrid (0-2) and Atletico Madrid (0-1) away, both with clean sheets. Pepe Bordalas' side is currently in 16th place in the standings, just two points above the relegation zone. It's worth noting that Getafe's matches this season are the lowest-scoring in La Liga, with an average of 1.47 goals scored.
- One of the teams failed to score in the club's last six league matches.
- A maximum of two goals were scored in Getafe's last 12 La Liga games.
- The number "1" appeared in the final scoreline in 11 of the team's last 14 league encounters.
Mallorca
The islanders defeated Girona 2-1 at home in the last round. Notably, they played with a man down for about an hour but not only held on but also scored the decisive goal while being one player short. Before this, the club had suffered two consecutive league defeats against Barcelona (1-5) and Celta Vigo (0-2). Jagoba Arrasate's side is in the European competition zone and only six points behind the top four.
Forward Vedat Muriqi and midfielder Manu Morlanes will miss the match due to suspensions.
- The number "1" appeared in the final scoreline in 12 of Mallorca's last 15 league matches.
- Both teams scored in 4 of the islanders' last 5 La Liga matches.
- In 8 of the club's last 9 league matches, the first half ended in a draw.
Getafe vs. Mallorca: Match Prediction
Despite the low-scoring nature of Getafe's games, I believe there will be at least two goals in this match. The club from the Madrid suburbs, although not scoring much at home, has found the net in 6 of their last 7 home La Liga matches. Meanwhile, they have also conceded in 9 of their last 14 home league encounters.
Mallorca has improved their scoring this season, playing more attacking football, which is already reflected in their league position. Even away from home, the islanders have scored in 9 of their last 12 La Liga matches. They have also conceded in 11 of their last 12 away league fixtures. Additionally, in 8 of the last 10 head-to-head meetings at this stadium in La Liga, at least two goals were scored by the opponents. My prediction – Total over 1.5 goals
