Sevilla have a strong record against teams from sixth and below
Mallorca have lost five of their last seven trips
Sevilla are unbeaten at home to Mallorca across the last 14 years
Sevilla can edge tight-clash
Sevilla are sitting in 13th place in La Liga, but the three-point gap to seventh-placed Mallorca suggests they can mount a late push for a European place this season.
There’s very little between the sides in the middle of the Spanish top-flight and dreams of European football will be increased if Spain stays on course for a bonus Champions League spot, which would likely see the side in eighth qualify for the Conference League next term.
Sevilla can boost their European dreams in a mixed season, having thumped bottom club Real Valladolid 4-0 last week. They host a Mallorca side who have a shaky away record, losing five of their last seven on their travels.
Sevilla’s home record is solid, with five wins from 12 attempts. If you remove their clashes with the top five this season, Sevilla’s record is eight wins, six draws and four defeats. With a wafer-thin gap between these mid-table sides, home advantage should swing things against a Mallorca side who haven’t won at Sevilla since 2010.
