After a stunning 4-1 victory over Barcelona before the international break, Sevilla return to La Liga action full of confidence. The Andalusian side have finally found consistency, recording back-to-back wins for the first time this season and climbing into the European qualification spots. Their recent performances have shown a clear upward trajectory, suggesting that they could be serious contenders for continental football next season. This weekend, they host bottom-placed Mallorca at the Estadio Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán, a match that offers a golden opportunity to extend their positive run and consolidate their position near the top of the table.

Sevilla’s Recent Form and Key Stats

Sevilla’s campaign began with two defeats, but their steady improvement has been remarkable. They lost to Athletic Club (3-2) and Getafe (1-2) before earning their first win against Girona (0-2). A 2-2 draw with Elche was followed by a crucial 1-2 victory in Vitoria. Although they stumbled against Villarreal (1-2), they bounced back with a 0-1 win at Rayo Vallecano and then demolished Barcelona 4-1 in their most recent outing. This impressive sequence has lifted them to sixth place in La Liga, with a record of four wins, one draw, and three defeats.

Statistically, Sevilla have averaged 1.9 goals scored and 1.4 conceded per game this season. Their attack has been particularly effective at home, where they have scored in every match so far. Moreover, over 0.5 goals have been scored in each of their last 24 league fixtures, and the second half has produced at least one goal in their last 13. These figures underline their attacking consistency and ability to maintain pressure throughout the 90 minutes.

Coach Matías Almeyda will be without Joan Jordán, Nianzou, and Alfon González due to injuries, but he is expected to stick with the 4-2-3-1 formation that has brought recent success. The likely starting eleven includes Vlachodimos in goal; Juanlu, Azpilicueta, Marcao, and Suazo in defense; Agoumé and Mendy as holding midfielders; Alexis Sánchez, Sow, and Vargas supporting lone striker Isaac Romero. With this setup, Sevilla have found a strong balance between defensive stability and attacking creativity.

Mallorca’s Recent Form and Key Stats

In contrast, Mallorca are enduring a difficult start to the season. They sit bottom of the table with just five points after eight matches, level with Real Sociedad but behind on goal difference. Their away form has been particularly poor, with four defeats in four trips. At home, they have managed one win, two draws, and one loss, but their performances have not been convincing enough to inspire optimism among their supporters.

The Balearic side began the campaign with a 0-3 loss to Barcelona, followed by a 1-1 draw against Celta Vigo. They then suffered narrow defeats to Real Madrid (2-1) and Espanyol (3-2), before holding Atlético Madrid to a 1-1 draw. A 1-0 home win over Alavés gave them their first victory of the season, but they quickly fell back into trouble with a 2-1 defeat at Athletic Club. Their record of one win, two draws, and five losses reflects a team struggling to find rhythm and consistency.

Offensively, Mallorca have averaged 0.9 goals scored per match while conceding 1.6. They have been involved in low-scoring games, with under 3.5 total goals in 21 of their last 22 league fixtures. This trend highlights their defensive approach but also their lack of cutting edge in attack. For the trip to Seville, coach Jagoba Arrasate faces several absences: Antonio Sánchez is suspended, while Asano, Mascarell, and Kumbulla are injured. The expected lineup features Leo Román in goal; Maffeo, Raíllo, Valjent, and Mojica at the back; Morlanes and Samú Costa in midfield; Mateo Joseph, Pablo Torre, and Darder supporting striker Muriqi.

Sevilla vs Mallorca Prediction and Tactical Overview

Historically, matches between these two sides have been tight, with Sevilla holding a slight edge in recent meetings (two wins, two draws, one defeat). Their last encounter ended 1-1 in February 2025. However, the current form of both teams suggests a different scenario this time. Sevilla are playing with confidence, scoring freely, and showing strong defensive organization, while Mallorca’s struggles away from home continue to deepen.

At the Sánchez Pizjuán, Sevilla have been dominant, and their recent demolition of Barcelona has boosted morale across the squad. Almeyda’s men are expected to control possession and press high, exploiting Mallorca’s defensive vulnerabilities. The visitors, on the other hand, will likely adopt a cautious approach, focusing on compact defending and counterattacks through Muriqi’s physical presence up front. Yet, given their poor away record and limited attacking output, it will be a major challenge to contain Sevilla’s momentum.

All signs point toward another strong performance from the Andalusians. If they maintain the intensity and creativity shown in recent weeks, they should have little trouble securing all three points against the league’s bottom side.
