Real Mallorca vs Getafe: Preview
Real Mallorca form analysis
Mallorca’s recent La Liga form paints the picture of an inconsistent team capable of scoring goals but also conceding heavily at times. They started this spell with a thrilling 3-5 loss away at Girona, despite Muriqi and Prats scoring late consolations. Next was a spirited 2-2 home draw with Barcelona, twice taking the lead through Muriqi and Prats before being pegged back.
A 2-2 away draw at Rayo Vallecano followed as Muriqi and Sanchez netted. Mallorca then drew 1-1 at home with Valencia, Rodriquez cancelling out Lopez’s opener. Most recently though, Mallorca reverted to type with a 0-1 home loss to Real Sociedad, unable to break them down.
Overall, Mallorca have shown endeavour under coach Javier Aguirre thanks to the goal threat of Muriqi. But defensive issues have persisted, conceding 2+ goals in 4 of their last 5 games.
Getafe form analysis
Getafe’s recent La Liga matches highlight a spirited side capable of scoring goals but with clear defensive vulnerabilities. They started this spell by twice leading away at Real Sociedad before collapsing late to lose 3-4, despite goals from Aleña, Borja Mayoral and Latasa. Getafe then drew 2-2 away at Athletic Bilbao as Alvarez and Latasa netted in response to going behind twice. A goalless home draw with Villarreal displayed their steeliness before conceding late saw them draw 2-2 away at Celta Vigo, despite Mayoral and Greenwood goals. Most recently, Getafe recovered from conceding early to draw 1-1 at home with Betis thanks to Mayoral’s equalizer.
Overall, Getafe have shown endeavour under Quique Sanchez Flores thanks to Borja Mayoral’s goals. But keeping just 1 clean sheet from 5 highlights issues at the back. Their spirit and threat on the break gives them a good chance of avoiding relegation this season. However, tightening up their porous back line is crucial if they are to turn draws into valuable wins.
