Mallorca, Sevilla Seek Momentum in La Liga Clash

MADRID (Interstat) — A struggling Sevilla side visits an inconsistent Mallorca on Monday in a La Liga match both teams hope will spark a sustained run of form.

The game at Estadi Mallorca Son Moix kicks off at 9 p.m. local time (2000 GMT) on Feb. 2.

Sevilla (W-D-L) arrives having snapped a five-match winless streak in league play with a 2-1 home victory over Athletic Bilbao on Jan. 24. That result offered a rare bright spot in a difficult season; the club has just one win in its last 10 La Liga outings, a stretch including losses to Real Madrid, Real Betis and a 3-0 defeat at Levante.

Mallorca is coming off a 3-0 defeat at Atlético Madrid on Jan. 25. Its form has been mixed, with a notable 3-2 win over Athletic Bilbao on Jan. 17 preceded by losses to Rayo Vallecano and Girona.

The head-to-head history favors the hosts. In their last meeting on Oct. 18, Mallorca secured a commanding 3-1 away victory at Sevilla’s Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán Stadium.

Sevilla manager, under pressure amid a disappointing league position, will look to build on the Bilbao win. Mallorca’s coach will aim to reestablish a strong home presence after the setback in Madrid.

According to Interstat’s game simulator, the match is projected to end in a 1-1 draw.

The fixture is critical for positioning ahead of a demanding schedule. Sevilla hosts Girona on Feb. 7, while Mallorca faces a daunting trip to Barcelona the same day.
