Mallorca vs Sevilla: prediction, head-to-head and probable line-ups – 2 February 2026
One of the fixtures of this round in the Spanish La Liga will take place on Monday at the Son Moix Stadium in Palma de Mallorca, where the hosts Mallorca will face Sevilla. The home side are locked in a tense battle for survival, while the visitors are striving to pull away from the relegation zone and stabilize their position in the table. I suggest a bet on the total goals in this clash, as there’s a solid chance for success.
Match preview
The "Pirates" are enduring a tough season and still haven’t managed to climb out of the relegation zone, though they are just one point away from safety. In their last match, the islanders suffered a heavy 0-3 defeat to Atlético Madrid over the weekend. The team’s results have been inconsistent, but on home soil they traditionally look much more confident and have already defeated strong opponents, including Athletic.
The home advantage remains the main trump card for Arrasate’s squad: Mallorca rarely slip up in Palma and know how to put up a fight even against more technically gifted rivals. Muriqi remains the attacking leader, and the sharpness up front depends directly on his form.
As for Sevilla, the Andalusians come into the match after a long-awaited home win over Athletic Bilbao (2-1) and are eager to build on that momentum. Despite a relatively decent attacking output, the team concedes a lot, which keeps them in a precarious position in the standings.
Sevilla’s away form remains vulnerable: they rarely keep a clean sheet on the road and often drop points in closely contested matches. Nevertheless, their squad is capable of creating chances, and their play down the flanks and set-piece routines remain key weapons in attack.
Probable line-ups
- Mallorca: Rajković, Maffeo, Valjent, López, Mojica, Costa, Mascarell, Joseph, Darder, Virgili, Muriqi.
- Sevilla: Vlachodimos, Carmona, Castrín, Salas, Sánchez, Agoumé, Mendy, Suazo, Fernández, Romero, Adams.
Match facts and head-to-head
- Mallorca have collected the majority of their points this season in home matches.
- Sevilla have conceded over 30 goals in 21 rounds, one of the worst defensive records in the league.
- In recent trips to Mallorca, the Andalusians have rarely come away with a win.
Prediction
Both teams are desperate for points and are unlikely to take risks from the very first minutes. Mallorca will likely rely on a compact defense and quick transitions, while Sevilla will focus on ball control and set pieces. Given the current form and the high stakes, a cautious and low-scoring outcome seems the most logical scenario.
