Prediction Sevilla vs Mallorca 2025/2026 season – Betting Tips for La Liga on 18/10/2025

Sevilla look to keep momentum at the Sánchez Pizjuán

Sevilla arrive at their familiar fortress, the Estadio Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán, riding a rhythm that suggests this is a club rediscovering its bite. The Andalusians sit sixth in La Liga after eight matches with 13 points, and recent performances have a clear upward trajectory: wins over Barcelona (a convincing 4-1), Rayo Vallecano and Deportivo Alavés, offset by a handful of setbacks. That 4-1 triumph over Barcelona not only provided a statement result but highlighted Sevilla’s capacity to score freely when the team clicks; Odysseas Vlachodimos even earned the match’s top rating, underscoring Sevilla’s defensive assurance at key moments. Home form has been productive — eight goals scored at home across the season — and Sevilla’s attacking numbers (an average of 10.75 shots per game, 62 shots inside the box across fixtures) indicate they press for chances and dominate phases inside the final third.

Mallorca arrive under pressure at the foot of the table

Mallorca travel to Seville propped up at 20th with just five points from eight games. Their season so far reads one win, two draws and five defeats. Recent results show vulnerability: a 2-1 reverse to Athletic Club and narrow defeats away to Real Sociedad and others. Mallorca’s goal return is modest — seven goals in total — while they have conceded 13, a ratio that leaves them exposed against teams who can sustain pressure. Their form sequence suggests grit but inconsistency: a single victory amid multiple defeats and draws, and just one clean sheet all season. Samú Costa earned plaudits in Mallorca’s last outing despite the defeat, but the collective metrics — fewer dangerous attacks on average (32.75) and lower attacking output than Sevilla — raise questions about their ability to unsettle a confident home side.

Match outlook and decisive factors

Head-to-head can be stubborn; the most recent meeting finished 1-1 in February, but La Liga’s current table and form paint a different picture. Sevilla not only have the edge in momentum and attacking productivity, they also enjoy home advantage in a stadium that seats over 42,000 and where they have been more clinical (eight home goals). Mallorca’s defensive fragility away from home — having conceded eight on the road — means they are likely to be stretched by Sevilla’s sustained attacking intent. Bookmakers reflect this gap: Sevilla are clear favourites at 1.87, with the draw at 3.35 and an away win priced 4.40.

Betting suggestion Back Sevilla to win (1X2 market: Home win at 1.87). The combination of Sevilla’s superior home attacking numbers, recent high-profile victories and Mallorca’s struggles on the road make a Sevilla victory the most logical single-market selection.
