Betis take on the visitors Mallorca in the round 6 match of Spanish LaLiga. The match will be played on Monday, September 23rd at Estadio Benito Villamarín (Sevilla).
Betis are trying to gain momentum. The "Cucumbers" couldn’t really improve last season. On the contrary, the team continued to lose ground, although it's worth noting that clubs like Athletic Bilbao and especially Girona had breakout seasons. In the end, Pellegrini and his squad managed to overtake at least Villarreal, who had a poor start, finishing in 7th place. This secured them a spot in the Europa Conference League, where they faced no resistance from Kryvbas, defeating them in both qualification legs. However, in La Liga, the heavily revamped "Verdiblancos" have shown inconsistent results. They started with two draws, against Girona and Alavés, followed by an expected loss to Real Madrid, and finally claimed their first win over newly-promoted Leganés. They later picked up 3 points against Getafe as well.

Mallorca had been playing under the guidance of Javier Aguirre in recent years. The Mexican coach didn’t stay on the holiday island long enough to call it an "era," but he certainly earned gratitude. First, he saved the typical "yo-yo club" from relegation, taking charge in an incredibly tough situation where another drop to the Segunda seemed inevitable after promotion. Then, his team almost competed for a European spot, climbing above the table’s midline. Last season, however, Mallorca slipped back into the lower half of the standings, but this was understandable—they reached the final of the Copa del Rey. Unfortunately, they couldn’t win the cup, as Athletic Bilbao proved better in the penalty shootout. After that season, the club parted ways with Aguirre, bringing in Jagoba Arrasate, who had clearly run his course at Osasuna—though he achieved great success with them. So far, Jagoba hasn’t had much luck at his new club. However, despite recent losses to his old Pamplona side and Villarreal, Mallorca earned draws with Real Madrid and Sevilla, and also secured wins over Leganés and Real Sociedad.
Betis has not lost to this opponent in 10 straight encounters and has won the last 5 matches. A home win is expected in Seville. However, Mallorca has shown quality, so a bet on "total over 2.0 goals" might be a safer option for this match.
Prediction for the match: Over 2.0 scored goals.
