Real Mallorca will have to face lacklustre Sevilla on the 27th of August at Estadio Mallorca Son Moix.
Sevilla aren’t enjoying a solid start to their 2024/25 La Liga campaign, as coach Xavier Pimienta’s players didn’t win either one of their two opening league games.
Real Mallorca didn’t win a game either, but at least coach Jagoba Arrasate’s players didn’t lose what is likely the most difficult game for any La Liga team – a match versus the champions. However, is the loss against Osasuna going to hurt their chances of avoiding a defeat versus Sevilla? Let’s find out the answer in our Real Mallorca vs Sevilla predictions.
How the bookies view it: Mallorca with the upper hand
Real Mallorca’s odds are priced at 33/25, which makes coach Arrasate’s team the favorite to win this interesting clash.
Sevilla may have bested this opponent on numerous occasions throughout the last couple of head-to-heads, but the bookies view the visitors as the underdogs in this chase, with odds priced at 47/20.

You might be interested to know that the last 10 games between these two teams didn’t end well for the home team. Real Mallorca lost a whopping 50% of all games!
Moreover, Real Mallorca won only once against Sevilla in the last 10 years. This is one of the key reasons we believe the visitors will be able to poach the three points at Estadio Mallorca Son Moix this week.
Players to watch: Solid form on the wings for Sevilla
It seems that the visitors are going to rely on their wingers during the 2024/25 La Liga campaign most of all. So far, we’ve seen Dodi Lukebakio and Juanlu Sanchez score the only goals for the club, which is why we believe these two will be the key performers on Tuesday.
Real Mallorca can be proud of what Dominik Greiff did against Real Madrid. He made four crucial saves for his team, which is probably why the Vermilions didn’t lose the game against the La Liga champs.
Predicted line-ups
Real Mallorca’s manager is unlikely to make changes to his starting XI. We believe we will see the same players who stood up against Real Madrid at the start of the campaign. Pablo Maffeo might want to consider his tackling, as he already earned himself two bookings. A few more and he will miss a game for Mallorca.
Sevilla, on the other hand, are deprived of Joan Jordan’s services, as the midfielder is currently injured and won’t be able to partake in the next few games for the club.
Real Mallorca: Greiff – Maffeo, Valjent, Raillo, Mojica – Darder, Mascarell, Costa – Asano, Muriqi & Rodriguez
Sevilla: Nyland – Carmona, Bade, Salas, Pedrosa – Sanchez, Agoume, Saul – Lukebakio, Romero & Ocampos
Anything else catch the eye?
Yes, Sevilla did lose the game against Villarreal at home, but in all honesty, Lukebakio and his teammates didn’t deserve such an outcome. They made 16 shots at target, which is twice as many as the Yellow Submarine did.
This is why we believe we will see over 1.5 Sevilla goals at Estadio Mallorca San Moix.
