Sevilla – Mallorca : Preview & Prediction
Sevilla, in third place, will play in the next Champions League if they beat Mallorca at Ramon Sanchez-Pizjuan on the 36th day of La Liga. The Andalusian club, which has one of the best home records (only one defeat), should manage to take three more points on their home ground. Lopetegui’s team has just taken 5 points in the last three games at Levante (3-2) and then against Cadiz CF (1-1) and Villareal (1-1) on May 8th. The French international Jules Koundé scored a late goal in stoppage time (90th+5) to secure a point for his club. The Sevillian side, who drew the first leg (1-1), are determined to record their 18th win in La Liga this season. Mallorca suffered a major setback this weekend when they lost heavily to Granada, a direct competitor for survival, by a clear 6-2 scoreline at home. A defeat that hurts the heads of the Mallorca players who are now in the relegation zone with 3 games left in the season. The future of the island club is getting darker week after week and this trip to Andalusia is not going to reassure Sergio Rico’s partners. Aguirre’s charges have not excelled away from home, having lost their last nine away games. Mallorca’s last nine away games were against Celta Vigo (4-3), Espanyol (1-0), Getafe (1-0), Elche (3-0) and Barcelona (2-1).
Mallorca is 18th and first relegation spot.
Sevilla will be in the Champions League next season if they win.
Mallorca have lost three of the last four La Liga games.
Sevilla won 2-0 at home last season.
Mallorca have lost 13 of their 17 away games in the Spanish league this season.
Mallorca have a string of failures away from their island… This trip to Andalusia against a Sevilla team that can validate its qualification for the C1 should be a long ordeal for the relegation.
