Getafe vs Mallorca
MADRID (Interstat) — Getafe hosts Mallorca on Wednesday in a midweek La Liga clash that carries significant implications for both sides as the season enters its final weeks.
The match, set for May 13 at Getafe’s Coliseum Alfonso Pérez, pits two clubs separated by just one point in the league table, though neither has been officially submitted for this preview. Mallorca enters with momentum after a gritty 1-1 draw at Villarreal on Sunday, extending its unbeaten run to four matches. Getafe, meanwhile, arrives off a scoreless draw at Real Oviedo on the same day, a result that snapped a two-match losing streak.
The teams last met Nov. 9, when Mallorca earned a 1-0 home victory. That result continued a tight head-to-head trend; both sides have traded narrow outcomes in recent seasons.
Mallorca’s recent form includes wins over Girona (1-0 on May 1) and Real Madrid (2-1 on April 4), as well as a 3-0 rout of Rayo Vallecano on April 12. The island club has been stingy defensively, conceding only four goals in its last five league matches. However, its attack remains inconsistent, with just five goals in that same span.
Getafe’s results have been more erratic. The team defeated Athletic Bilbao 2-0 on April 5 and edged Espanyol 2-1 on March 21, but also suffered a 2-0 home loss to Rayo Vallecano on May 3. Manager José Bordalás has relied on a disciplined defensive structure, but Getafe has struggled to convert chances, scoring only once in its last three games.
Interstat’s game simulator projects a 1-1 draw, reflecting the teams’ evenly matched profiles. Mallorca’s ability to grind out results on the road — including a win at Real Madrid — could give it a slight edge. Getafe, though, is tough to break down at home.
Both clubs face quick turnarounds after Wednesday. Mallorca travels to Levante on Sunday, while Getafe visits Elche the same day. With only a handful of matches remaining, every point matters in the race for European qualification or avoidance of relegation.
Kickoff is at 9 p.m. local time (1900 GMT).
