The Matchday 37 clash in La Liga between Mallorca and Getafe will take place on May 18 at the Son Moix Stadium. Mallorca vs. Getafe: prediction and betting odds, statistics.
Mallorca
Jagoba Arrasate's side missed the opportunity to take points from Real Madrid, who were weakened by several injuries. Playing away, the islanders opened the scoring but couldn't hold on to their lead, conceding a decisive goal in the 95th minute (1-2). In their last five league matches, the club has secured only one victory (1 draw and 3 losses). The team has slipped to 10th place but still has a chance to qualify for European competitions, trailing the top 8 by just one point.
- The club has not scored more than one goal in 9 of their last 12 La Liga matches.
- At least two goals have been scored in 11 of the islanders' last 15 La Liga encounters.
- The team has not lost in 6 of their last 7 home league matches (3 wins and 3 draws).
Predicted lineup for Mallorca (5-3-2)
Leo Roman – Martin Valjent, Antonio Raillo, Mateu Morey, Toni Lato, Jose Manuel Copete – Sergi Darder, Antonio Sanchez, Samu Costa – Cyle Larin, Vedat Muriqi.
Getafe
The club from the Madrid suburb is on a 6-match losing streak in the league. Pepe Bordalás's side scored only in the first match against Las Palmas (1-3) and then suffered five consecutive goalless defeats. Due to this series, the team has dropped to 15th place but still maintains a 5-point lead over Leganes, who are 18th in the table. It is worth noting that Getafe has scored only 31 goals, the second-lowest tally in the league after Valladolid (26 goals).
- The club's uncompromising streak in La Liga stands at 14 matches (5 wins and 9 losses).
- At least one team has failed to score in 6 of Getafe's last 7 league games.
- The club has not lost in the second half in their last five away league matches (2 wins and 3 draws).
Predicted lineup for Getafe (4-4-2)
David Soria – Diego Rico, Omar Alderete, Domingos Duarte, Juan Iglesias – Mauro Arambarri, Luis Milla, Ramon Terrats, Christos Uche – Alvaro Rodriguez, Koba da Costa.
Defender Djene will miss the match due to suspension.

Mallorca vs. Getafe: Match Prediction
In the remaining two rounds, Pepe Bordalás's side will face motivated islanders and Galicians. Given Getafe's current form, there are doubts about whether the club can secure even the one point needed to guarantee their place in La Liga for the next season. Meanwhile, there is a chance that Leganes may fail to win their two matches, so the Madrid suburb club might be saved with their current 39 points.
Mallorca will be aiming to break into the European competition zone. To achieve this, they must defeat their opponent in the upcoming match and then try to overcome Rayo Vallecano on their turf. While their chances of winning the away game are slim, dealing with Getafe should be noticeably easier. After all, the islanders have a decent record at Son Moix in the current league. Furthermore, the islanders have beaten Getafe in 3 of their last 4 La Liga meetings (with one draw).
My prediction – Mallorca to Win
