On Sunday afternoon, Getafe and Real Mallorca go head-to-head at the Estadio Coliseo del Golfo on the final day of La Liga’s 2023/24 season.
Getafe are finishing the season in poor formThe club from the Spanish capital heads into this clash having lost four straight matches in La Liga, including a 1-0 defeat at Alaves last time out. In that game, Getafe failed to score in their fourth straight match.
Their recent lack of goals has contributed to the fact that eight of their last ten La Liga games have produced under 2.5 goals.
Getafe has struggled for victories on home soil, winning just one of their last six La Liga home matches, including a four-game winless run.
A lack of goals has caused Jose Bordalas’ team’s home issues. They have scored just once in their last four home matches in the Spanish top flight.
Mallorca have already ensured their safetyThe Islanders have experienced a difficult campaign in La Liga and will kick off this game in 17th place. However, they have already ensured their place in La Liga next season, as they are four points clear of 18th-place Cadiz.
Javier Aguirre’s team has won in the Spanish top flight just once in their last eight games. However, they are unbeaten in three matches, having recorded back-to-back draws against Osasuna and Almeria.
Real Mallorca’s recent Liga games have been low-scoring, with under 2.5 goals scored in ten of their last 12 outings in the Spanish top-flight.
Ironically, Los Piratas have struggled on their travels in La Liga, failing to win in their last 15 away games. However, they have drawn their previous two away games at Cadiz and Osasuna.
Their recent away games in the Spanish top flight have been low-scoring, with under 2.5 goals scored in 11 of their last 13 matches away from home.
What am I backing?Both teams have been in questionable form lately in La Liga. I can see this being a relatively cagey and low-scoring encounter. That is why the bet I am backing is under 2.5 goals scored.
