Sevilla Hosts Mallorca: Can the Home Team Extend Their Unbeaten Streak?
Sevilla will host R.C.D. Mallorca at the iconic Estadio Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán on Saturday, October 18, 2025, in a highly anticipated La Liga clash. The fixture is set for a 14:00 local kick-off, drawing attention from analysts and fans alike due to the teams’ recent form and their closely contested head-to-head history. The last meeting between Sevilla and Mallorca ended in a 1-1 draw at the Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán, extending Sevilla’s unbeaten run against Mallorca to three consecutive games. Historically, Sevilla have dominated this matchup with 8 wins, while Mallorca have claimed victory 4 times, and 6 matches have finished level, according to the latest FotMob H2H record. Coming into this encounter, Sevilla are riding a wave of confidence after back-to-back La Liga wins, including a convincing 4-1 triumph over Barcelona. Despite only 39% possession in that match, Sevilla were clinical, with Alexis Sanchez, Isaac Romero, Jose Angel Carmona, and Akor Adams each finding the net. Statistically, Sevilla average 1.7 goals from 10.7 attempts per game, with Isaac Romero leading their scoring charts (3 goals) and Ruben Vargas topping the assists tally (4). Defensively, goalkeepers Odysseas Vlachodimos and Oerjan Haaskjold Nyland have combined for two clean sheets in the last ten games. In contrast, Mallorca have struggled on their travels, suffering four consecutive away defeats, most recently a 2-1 loss at Athletic Club. They average just 0.8 goals per game from 8.8 attempts and have conceded 1.5 goals per match on average. Vedat Muriqi leads Mallorca with 4 goals, while Sergi Darder is the top assist provider (2). Leo Román and Dominik Greif have managed three clean sheets between them over the previous ten fixtures. Lineups for this match are expected to feature Sevilla in a 4-3-3 formation: Odysseas Vlachodimos (GK), Jose Angel Carmona, Cesar Azpilicueta, Marcao, Gabriel Suazo, Djibril Sow, Batista Mendy, Lucien Agoume, Juanlu Sanchez, Isaac Romero, and Ruben Vargas. Mallorca are likely to line up 4-2-3-1: Leo Roman (GK), Pablo Maffeo, Martin Valjent, Antonio Raillo, Mateu Morey, Samu, Manu Morlanes, Javi Llabres, Sergi Darder, Jan Virgili, and Vedat Muriqi. Sevilla will be missing Joan Jordán, Tanguy Nianzou, and Alfon González due to injuries, while Mallorca will be without Toni Lato, Daniel Rodriguez, Marash Kumbulla, Takuma Asano, and Antonio Sánchez (suspension). Bookmakers currently price Sevilla as strong favorites, offering odds of 1.80 for a home win, which translates to an implied probability of about 56%. Expert analysis suggests Sevilla’s real chance of victory is even higher, potentially 60-65%. For bettors, the value lies not only in a Sevilla win but also in options like “Sevilla to win & BTTS No” and Isaac Romero as an anytime goalscorer, based on his recent form. Corner statistics also favor high action, with an average of over 12 corners in Mallorca’s last ten away matches. Both teams have statistical quirks: Sevilla have scored 10 goals in their last five matches but have also conceded the most penalties this season (3), while Mallorca’s Vedat Muriqi averages 1.8 shots on target per game, but has gone three games without hitting the target. As the match approaches, fans can follow live updates, real-time stats powered by Opta, and detailed commentary on platforms like FotMob. With the hosts unbeaten in their last five home meetings against Mallorca and given their recent uptick in form, Sevilla are well-placed to continue their positive run. However, Mallorca will be eager to spring a surprise and reverse their fortunes on the road.
