- Getafe and Real Mallorca have played three matches in LaLiga recently with no draws (Mallorca won two, Getafe one).
- Pepe Bordalas has built a solid, disciplined team at Getafe since taking charge in April 2023.
- Mallorca’s form has improved since Martín Demichelis took over as manager in February 2026.
Two very different sides meet in Madrid
Two very different teams will face off in Madrid on Wednesday when seventh-placed Getafe, who are in good shape with 44 points from 34 games, host 16th-placed Mallorca, who are still in the relegation fight with 38 points from the same number of matches. Pepe Bordalas has created an identity and a strong, disciplined team at Getafe while Mallorca have turned the corner since Martín Demichelis took charge in February 2026.
Bordalas has got Getafe playing a very solid, compact 4-4-2 system that is hard to break down and efficient at the other end in transition or from set pieces. His side have won only one and lost two of their last three home games, suffering a defeat to Barcelona and a 1-0 loss to Rayo Vallecano, which shows how well they are organised in this Getafe vs Real Mallorca preview.
Luis Milla, who has nine assists in LaLiga, is the orchestrator and Mauro Arambarri, a midfielder with six goals in 33 appearances, can be a significant threat, especially in transition. This match will certainly interest those looking for a Getafe vs Real Mallorca prediction.
Demichelis has set up a different system for Mallorca
Demichelis is a very experienced coach who has set up a very different system to García, who had set Mallorca up with an attacking midfielder playing behind two up front. The Argentine has gone for a diamond in midfield, where he has the ball all the time, and tries to overload the centre of the pitch, play in vertical passes and use the target man.
Vedat Muriqi is the perfect talisman for this system and has scored three of Mallorca’s last eight LaLiga goals, so he is their main scoring threat in what could be a cagey affair. Mallorca have won three, drawn one and lost only one of their last five games and that included a remarkable 1-0 away win over Girona in the second game after Demichelis took over. Our Getafe vs Real Mallorca prediction highlights how Mallorca's form under Demichelis could be pivotal in this encounter.
The visitors’ away record in LaLiga this season is terrible with two wins, three draws and 12 losses, and they have conceded 1.82 goals per away match. Mallorca beat Getafe 1-0 at home six months ago and the Azzurri have failed to win their past two at the Coliseum against Mallorca.
Draw could be a likely outcome
The difference in the two sides’ systems and the fact they have had no draws in their three meetings suggests a draw is on the cards and I like the look of the 3.3 odds available for that result which could be an interesting angle for Getafe vs Real Mallorca betting tips.
This should be a fascinating tactical battle between a coach who uses a low block and disciplined pressing and one who likes to dominate the center of the field and play with a target man. If they can exploit the transition moments, over 2.5 goals looks likely at 2.6, but one of these teams may not score, so Both teams to score - No is also attractive at 1.66. The final Getafe vs Real Mallorca prediction leans towards a hard-fought, low-scoring draw given both teams' recent form and tactical setups.
