Mallorca vs Getafe Prediction & Betting Tips (9 November)

Mallorca prepare to host Getafe in LaLiga this November in what promises to be a tightly contested fixture between two sides who have shown resilience but also inconsistency in recent weeks. The Balearic club have been in the headlines for their solid away win against Sevilla in mid-October, where they stunned the Andalusians with a 3-1 victory, showcasing their ability to strike effectively on the counter. However, they followed that up with a frustrating 1-1 draw at home to Levante and then a heavy 3-0 defeat away to Real Betis at the start of November. The team has also advanced in the Copa del Rey after a professional 2-0 win over Atletic Sant Just, which has given them a morale boost. News around the club has focused on their defensive structure, with coach Javier Aguirre emphasizing the need for greater concentration in the final third of matches.

Getafe, meanwhile, arrive in Mallorca on the back of a mixed run of results but with some momentum from their recent victories. In late October, they demolished Inter Valdemoro 11-0 in the Copa del Rey, a result that, while against lower-tier opposition, highlighted their attacking depth. More importantly, they secured back-to-back LaLiga wins against Athletic Bilbao away and Girona at home, with Borja Mayoral continuing to be a key figure in attack. Their only setback in the past month came against Real Madrid, where they narrowly lost 1-0 at home in a match that could have gone either way. The Madrid-based side have been praised for their defensive discipline under Pepe Bordalás, with recent news noting their ability to grind out results even when possession is limited.

Looking at the tactical setup, Mallorca will likely rely on their compact defensive lines and quick transitions, while Getafe will bring their trademark physicality and pressing game. Both teams have shown that they can frustrate stronger opponents, but they also struggle to consistently create clear chances. Mallorca’s home form has been patchy, with just one win in their last four league games at Son Moix, while Getafe’s away record has improved slightly with the win in Bilbao. The narrative in the Spanish press has been that both sides are fighting to establish mid-table security, and this match could be pivotal in shaping their momentum heading into the winter fixtures. Injuries have not been a major issue for either side in recent weeks, which means both managers should have close to full squads available.

With both Mallorca and Getafe showing defensive solidity and occasional struggles in front of goal, this encounter has all the makings of a low-scoring affair. Mallorca’s inability to break down compact defenses and Getafe’s preference for cautious, structured football suggest that chances will be at a premium. The recent form of both sides points toward a balanced contest where neither will want to risk too much, especially given their similar positions in the table. Taking all of this into account, the most realistic outcome appears to be a stalemate, and the prediction here is a 0:0 correct score.
