Real Mallorca Team News: Valjent a doubt
For about an hour or so of the game at Villarreal last week, Mallorca were quite comfortable so changes aren’t expected. The issue was that was the last hour of the game and they were already 4-0 down. Manu Morlanes remains unavailable, whilst Martin Valjent is a doubt.
Predicted XI (4-4-2): Greif; Pablo Maffeo, Valjent, Antonio Raillo, Johan Mojica; Dani Rodriguez, Omar Mascarell, Costa, Sergi Darder; Larin, Muriqi
Unavailable: Pichu Cuellar (Injured), Manu Morlanes (Injured)
Questionable: Valjent (Injured)
Real Betis Team News: Several issues
Former Southampton left-back Romain Perraud is missing through suspension this weekend, whilst his fellow left-back Ricardo Rodriguez is an injury doubt. Betis are also dealing with several injury absentees such as Giovani Lo Celso and Chimy Avila.
Predicted XI (4-2-3-1): Adrian; Diego Llorente, Marc Bartra, Natan, Marc Roca; Pablo Fornals, Johnny Cardoso; Jesus Rodriguez, Isco, Abde Ez; Vitor Roque
Unavailable: Aitor Ruibal (Injured), Sabaly (Injured), Hector Bellerin (Injured), Perraud (Suspended), Carvalho (Injured), Lo Celso (Injured), Chimy Avila (Injured)

Real Mallorca vs Real Betis Prediction
Real Mallorca remain inside the top six and the UEFA Europa League qualifying spots ahead of this weekend’s round of fixtures. However, last weekend, as mentioned, they went to El Madrigal and suffered a 4-0 loss to Villarreal with the Balearic Islanders conceding all four goals inside half an hour. They now face a Real Betis side that, under the management of Manuel Pellegrini, come into this one on the back of a 3-1 defeat at home to Deportivo Alaves last weekend and the Andalusians have now managed just one win in their last five matches across all competitions. So, with Betis dealing with plenty of key absentees as well, siding with Mallorca looks the way to go for this one, especially with their home advantage.
