There’s also action from the Spanish top flight and a La Liga clash between Mallorca and high-flying Athletic Bilbao as the betting tips continue at the Iberostar Estadi.
Mallorca Prediction – Can Mallorca rekindle early result?
Newly promoted Mallorca got their new La Liga campaign off to the perfect start with a 2-1 home win against Eibar but the hosts’ celebrations were short-lived as they’ve since been brought crashing back down to earth having suffered back-to-back defeats in recent matches.
A 1-0 loss at home to Real Sociedad was followed by a 2-0 defeat away from home at Valencia which should serve as a wake-up call to Mallorca ahead of Friday night’s difficult looking assignment against Athletic Bilbao despite being back at home.
It’s been 6 years since Mallorca were last in the Spanish top flight so the hosts will be desperate to consolidate their La Liga status this season, but much will depend upon their form and results on home turf at their Iberostar Estadi this term.
Mallorca will also need to put a halt to Athletic Bilbao’s recent dominance over them this evening too as the visitors have won the last 5 encounters with Mallorca on the trot, and Athletic Bilbao have made a good start to this new season too…
Athletic Bilbao Prediction – Can Athletic Bilbao win and go top?
The visitors should be well up for this trip to face newly promoted Mallorca despite being away from home in this Friday night clash as not only do they have recent history on their side against their hosts, but they can also move to the top of the La Liga table with a win here this evening.
After an impressive (albeit early) start to this La Liga season, Athletic Bilbao find themselves in 2nd place on the La Liga ladder thanks to an excellent opening season 1-0 home win against Barcelona which was followed by a solid point at Getafe in a 1-1 draw.
Athletic Bilbao then returned to winning ways at home last time out when they registered a 2-0 win over Real Sociedad to lift them up into 2nd spot and just 2 points behind early league leaders, Real Madrid.
Overall recent form has been pretty steady for Athletic Bilbao as they’ve lost just 2 of their last 8 matches, but they’ll be looking to improve upon results away from home tonight against a Mallorca side who they’ve held the upper hand over for a while.
Key-Facts – Mallorca v Athletic Bilbao
- Mallorca have lost their last 2 matches on the trot in La Liga
- Athletic Bilbao have lost just 2 of their last 8 matches overall in La Liga
- Athletic Bilbao have won the last 5 meetings on the trot against Mallorca
Betting Tips Verdict
Despite holding home advantage, this could be another tough assignment for Mallorca as they face an in-form Athletic Bilbao side keen to go top of the league.
