Real Betis vs Mallorca Predictions

• Real Betis have won three successive home games
• Mallorca’s last 18 away league games have yielded merely two victories
• Los Mejores are unbeaten in the last ten head-to-heads

Real Betis looking to build on strong start

Real Betis have accumulated eight points from their opening five La Liga games, which is one of their better openings to a top flight campaign over the last decade.

Manuel Pellegrini’s side have been particularly strong at home, where they have registered three successive victories across all competitions, including league wins over Leganes and Getafe.

Mallorca perhaps pose a stronger opposition than that pair, but Los Mejores are a tough nut to crack at Estadio Benito Villamarín, where they have lost only three times in their last 23 La Liga fixtures.

Can Mallorca pull off a shock?

The visitors will be hoping to end that record, but they seem to have a mental block when it comes to facing Betis, against whom they are winless in ten head-to-heads, losing eight of those clashes!

That does not bode well for a side who themselves have already been beaten by Osasuna on the road this season, one of two losses in the top flight.

Indeed, when it comes to away form, the Pirates are pretty ropy, with their last 18 games on the road in La Liga providing just two successes.

I predict that Real Betis will win this match, with 2-0 my correct score prediction.
