Sevilla will be looking to maintain their recent resurgence as they host troubled Mallorca in a Monday night La Liga fixture. Mallorca have found things difficult lately and should struggle against Sevilla, who appear to be ending the season on a positive note.
After struggling for much of the season, Sevilla appear to be finding their form in the final weeks of the campaign. Quique Sanchez Flores’ men are unbeaten in eight of their last 10 matches and are now just five points off the top 10.
Things have been particularly smooth for Sevilla in the last few weeks as they have won their two La Liga matches. First they claimed a 1-0 victory at Getafe before running out 2-0 winners at Las Palmas last time out.
Having been on the road the last two matches, Sevilla return to the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan, where they were beaten 2-1 by Celta Vigo last time out. However, they had picked up two straight home wins prior to the visit of the Galicians, a run that includes a 1-0 victory over Atletico Madrid.
While Sevilla have improved in recent weeks, things appear to be worsening for Mallorca. They have picked up only four wins from their last 15 La Liga matches and are just six points above the relegation zone.
Mallorca travel to the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan off the back of a 1-0 home defeat to Real Madrid in their previous La Liga fixture. They struggled to create much going forward and finished with just two attempts on target.
Things are even worse for Mallorca on their travels as they are winless in their last 12 away matches. Javier Aguirre’s men have also struggled for goals lately, failing to score in eight of their last 10 La Liga fixtures on the road.
How the bookies view it
Sevilla are considered overwhelming favourites among the bookies with a home win priced at evens with 10bet. An unlikely victory for Mallorca is valued at 15/4 by BoyleSports while Unibet is offering odds of 9/4 for a draw.
Head to head
Sevilla have a 16-8 advantage with 11 draws from 65 previous matches against Mallorca. Although Mallorca claimed a 1-0 victory in the reverse fixture, Sevilla had won the previous two meetings, including a 2-0 triumph last time out at the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan.
Players to watch
Given Mallorca's attacking problems on the road, Sevilla will be targeting a shutout on Sunday. They have kept clean sheets in their last two matches and with Sergio Ramos expected to continue at the back, a similar outcome could be considered at 21/20 with BoyleSports.
At the other end of the pitch, Youssef En-Nesyri will be the one to watch having scored 11 La Liga goals this season. The striker has also found the net four times in the last five La Liga matches and is priced at 7/4 by bet365 to maintain his scoring run.
Anything else catch the eye?
Sevilla have won to nil in their last two matches and could be set for a repeat at 15/8 with Paddy Power. They scored in both halves last time out at Las Palmas and could be set for a similar outcome at 29/10 with Coral.
There were more goals after the break in Sevilla’s previous home fixture and Monday’s clash could be set to follow a similar pattern at 11/10 with Coral.
