In the 21st round of the Spanish La Liga, Mallorca will face Real Betis. The match is scheduled for Saturday, January 25, with kick-off at 14:00 Central European Time. I suggest betting on goal-scoring in this match.
Match Preview
As the finalist of the previous Copa del Rey, Mallorca started 2025 with a match against Real Madrid in the Spanish Super Cup, where they were expectedly defeated. Before that, they suffered a shock loss to the modest team of Pontevedra in the Copa del Rey.
Their return to La Liga was also disappointing, with a 0-4 loss to Villarreal in the last round. Given these results, it’s clear that Mallorca is experiencing a crisis in their game.
Betis is also in poor form, as shown by their recent results. After a draw with Rayo Vallecano, the Seville-based club unexpectedly lost to two relegation-threatened teams.
First, they suffered an away defeat to Valladolid, then at home, they couldn’t handle Alaves, losing 1-3. In their next match, they face a stronger opponent, but Betis will give their all to end their losing streak and get a positive result.
Match Facts
- Mallorca has failed to score in their last three matches.

Probable Lineups
- Mallorca: Greif, Maffeo, Valjent, Raillo, Mójica, Darder, Rodríguez, Mascarel, Samu Costa, Larin, Muriqi.

Head-to-Head
The teams have not drawn since 2021: Betis has won 5 times, while Mallorca has won once.
Prediction
The teams appear evenly matched, but the hosts are struggling with their attacking play. I believe Betis will definitely score a goal, and that will be my bet.
