Midfield mastery to play a big role in Sunday clash
Getafe will bring their impressive 3-match winning streak to Son Moix when they take on Real Mallorca in a contest between two sides with contrasting styles on Sunday. Pepe Bordalás’ side are having an excellent start to the season, winning their last 3 matches on the spin, including a 1-0 away victory at Athletic Bilbao and 2-1 victory at home to Girona in their previous LaLiga game.
Mallorca’s form has been mixed, winning two, drawing one and losing two of their last five in all competitions and sitting 17th in the table with just 9 points from their opening 11 games. Getafe are 7th in the standings after collecting 17 points from the same number of games and appear to be in pole position to win this contest, according to our Real Mallorca vs Getafe prediction.
Getafe have the players to play a narrow, high-intensity 4-4-2 system with a lot of discipline in their pressing and physical duels, and they hit on the counter-attack. Real Mallorca, meanwhile, use a more compact 4-2-3-1 or 4-3-3 formation that relies on the double-pivot to control the ball and press the opposition situationally when they don’t have it.
Bordalás’ men have the momentum and momentum to edge it
Bordalás has been the mastermind behind Getafe’s run to the top half of the table in the early stages of the campaign and his team’s consistency in terms of tactics and pressing triggers seems to be paying off right now. Mallorca boss Jagoba Arrasate has worked on the structure of his team and measured build-up since taking charge in July 2024, but the bookies have the hosts at 2.56 and Getafe at 3.4 for this matchup, as the Real Mallorca vs Getafe prediction markets suggest.
The visitors’ superior form, high league position and the fact they won the most recent head-to-head meeting mean they are good value to avoid defeat and perhaps edge a win here. Under 2.5 goals seems very likely at 1.42 for what should be a hard-fought, low-scoring game. For those interested, our Real Mallorca vs Getafe betting tips point towards a match with few goals and tight margins.
Muriqi is Mallorca’s main man, Mayoral is Getafe’s finisher
With neither side particularly prolific in front of goal, a single goal could prove decisive in deciding the outcome, so we are going to have to dig a little deeper to find a few potential goal scorers on Sunday.
Vedat Muriqi is Mallorca’s best outlet in attack, netting 5 times in 10 LaLiga matches this term. But Getafe have a clinical finisher in Borja Mayoral, who has notched up 4 goals in 8 LaLiga games, and his strikes have accounted for 5 of the visitors’ last 15 goals in all competitions.
Mallorca have averaged 1.3 goals in the last five head-to-head clashes and Getafe have averaged 1.0 in the same sequence. This Real Mallorca vs Getafe preview highlights Mallorca’s average of 0.80 goals per home match in the league and 1.20 goals conceded, while Getafe have conceded 1.5 goals per away match. Luis Milla is Getafe’s orchestrator, with 6 assists in 11 LaLiga matches this season, so he could be the playmaker that unlocks Mallorca’s defence on Sunday. According to the latest Real Mallorca vs Getafe prediction, individual brilliance could be the key to a tightly contested fixture.
