Matchday 9 of La Liga between Sevilla and Mallorca will take place on October 18 at the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan Stadium. Sevilla vs. Mallorca: prediction and betting odds, statistics.
Sevilla
The team had a shaky start to the season but is now closing in on the group of leaders in La Liga. After two consecutive defeats, Sevilla has lost only once in their last six league matches. Before the international break, Matias Almeyda's side sensationally thrashed Barcelona, who were unbeaten in La Liga and held the top spot. As a result of that match, the club achieved two consecutive victories in La Liga for the first time since March-April 2024, climbing to sixth place in the table. The main reason for Sevilla's surge is their high scoring ability: the team has scored a total of 15 goals in the league – only Real Madrid (19) and Barcelona (22) have more.
- At least 2 goals have been scored in 9 of Sevilla's last 10 La Liga games.
- The club has not won in 14 of their last 19 league matches (3 draws, 11 losses).
- The team has conceded at least 2 goals in 5 of their last 7 home league matches.
Predicted lineup for Sevilla (4-2-3-1)
Odysseas Vlachodimos – Jose Carmona, Marcao, Cesar Azpilicueta, Gabriel Suazo – Batista Mendy, Lucien Agoume – Ruben Vargas, Djibril Sow, Alexis Sanchez – Isaac Romero.
Forward Alfonso Gonzalez will miss the match due to injury. Defender Tanguy Nianzou's participation remains uncertain.
Mallorca
Jagoba Arrasate's side is experiencing a very difficult period. After 8 La Liga rounds, the team has only 5 points, placing them at the bottom of the table, trailing Real Sociedad due to a head-to-head loss. At the end of September, Mallorca achieved their long-awaited first victory of the current La Liga season: an important result was secured in a home match against Alaves. However, a week later, the club lost to Athletic Bilbao, marking their fourth defeat in the last six league games. Notably, Mallorca has yet to earn a single point in away games this La Liga season.
- The team has won with a handicap (+1.5) in their last 7 league matches.
- At least 2 goals have been scored in 6 of Mallorca's last 8 La Liga matches.
- The club has conceded in 7 of their last 8 away league games.
Predicted lineup for Mallorca (4-2-3-1)
Leo Roman – Pablo Maffeo, Martin Valjent, Antonio Raillo, Joan Mojica – Manu Morlanes, Samu Costa – Marc Domenech, Sergi Darder, Pablo Torre – Vedat Muriqi.
Midfielder Antonio Sanchez is suspended. Defender Marash Kumbulla and midfielder Omar Mascarell have recovered from injuries, while forward Takuma Asano is still in recovery. Midfielder Jean Virgili has returned to the club after participating in the U-20 World Cup.

Sevilla vs. Mallorca: Match Prediction
Sevilla is one of the most exciting teams in this season's La Liga. Matias Almeyda's side consistently scores in every match, trailing only Real Madrid and Barcelona in total goals. However, the club often makes costly defensive errors, having kept only two clean sheets in eight La Liga rounds. Despite this, the team has not lost in 5 of their last 6 league matches, with 4 of those 6 games ending in victory.
Mallorca is at the bottom of the table, having earned three points in just one of their last eight league games. On the road, the islanders have lost four consecutive La Liga matches, and their away winless streak in this tournament stretches to eight games (1 draw, 7 losses). The team has conceded at least 1 goal in 7 of their last 8 league matches, but it's important to note that Mallorca has also scored in 6 of those 8 games.
Based on all the given facts, the prediction is: 1X and Both Teams to Score – Yes
* Each team's lineup reflects their starting XI in the last match of this tournament.
