Real Betis and Mallorca return to action in the Spanish La Liga as they face off at the Benito Villamarín Stadium on Sunday. Both sides secured their spots in the Copa del Rey second round during midweek and will be eager to maintain their momentum.
Real Betis made light work of Atlético Palma del Río on Thursday, cruising to an emphatic 7-1 victory over the Spanish amateur side in the Copa del Rey first round. Manuel Pellegrini’s men now turn their focus back to La Liga, where their five-game unbeaten run (3 wins, 2 draws) came to an end last Monday following a 2-0 home defeat against Atlético Madrid.
Currently, Betis have accumulated 16 points from their 10 league matches, placing them seventh in the standings. A win this weekend could see them climb up to fifth place.
Like the hosts, Mallorca also advanced comfortably through the opening round of the Copa del Rey, securing a 2-0 win over amateur outfit Atlètic Sant Just. Jagoba Arrasate’s side return to La Liga action in better form, having remained unbeaten in three of their last four games (2 wins, 1 draw). This is a notable improvement after failing to win any of their previous nine matches since May 14.
Mallorca have gathered nine points from the first 30 available this season, sitting 17th in the league table. A victory on Sunday could level them on points with 12th-placed Alavés.
