Getafe
In the last four rounds, the club alternated between home victories and away defeats. During this phase of the championship, the team defeated Valladolid (2-0) and Espanyol (1-0) at home, while suffering away losses to Real Madrid (0-2) and Atlético Madrid (0-1) without scoring. Pepe Bordalás's side is 16th in the league table, just two points above the relegation zone. Notably, Getafe's matches this season are the lowest-scoring in La Liga, averaging 1.47 goals per game.
- One of the teams failed to score in six of the club's previous matches in the league.
- No more than two goals were scored in Getafe's last 12 La Liga games.
- The number "1" appeared in the final score in 11 of the team's last 14 league matches.
Mallorca
The islanders defeated Girona 2-1 at home in their last outing. Notably, the team played with a man down for nearly an hour but not only held on but also scored the decisive goal while short-handed. Before this, the club had suffered two consecutive league defeats against Barcelona (1-5) and Celta Vigo (0-2). Jagoba Arrasate's men are in the European qualification zone, just 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 score in 12 of Mallorca's last 15 league games.
- Both teams scored in 4 of the islanders' last 5 La Liga matches.
- There was a draw in the first half in 8 of the club's last 9 league encounters.
Getafe vs. Mallorca: Match Prediction
Despite Getafe's low-scoring games, I believe there will be at least two goals in this match. The Madrid suburb club does not score much at home, but they have found the net in 6 of their last 7 home La Liga matches. At the same time, they have conceded in 9 of their last 14 home league games.
Mallorca has improved their scoring this season, playing more attacking football, which is 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 games. Additionally, in 8 of the last 10 head-to-head meetings at this stadium in La Liga, at least two goals were scored. My prediction – Total over 1.5 goals
