Mallorca are in good form and have been excellent in their last five matches, picking up 12 points. The head coach has created a working scheme in positional offense, with defense continuing to be the strength of the team. They concede an average of less than a goal per game, as a combination of central defenders and midfield anchoring minimizes the number of dangerous chances at Dominic Greif’s goal.
Athletic have also gained good shape and returned to the group of La Liga leaders. Ernesto Valverde’s side have lost only one of their last nine games, while showing quality attacking play. The team has scored eight goals in the last four games. Nico Williams has fully recovered psychologically and focused on his direct duties, and his brother with seven points is the best in the team in the goal+pass system.
Athletic plays very well in attack and scores an average of two goals in recent matches. Mallorca’s scoring streak has reached the mark of seven matches. The rivals have no problems with the squad and the best players will be on the field, so both teams will be able to score at least one goal.
