Sevilla and Mallorca will be bidding to make it successive wins in La Liga when they lock horns at Estadio Ramon on Monday night. The hosts, who are 13th in the La Liga table, were 4-0 winners over Real Valladolid last time out, while seventh-placed Mallorca posted a 3-1 victory over Las Palmas in their last fixture in Spain's top flight. Sevilla are one of a number of teams involved in a top-six battle at this stage of proceedings, with the race for the final European spot in Spain's top flight set to be a fascinating one due to the amount of sides involved.

Indeed, while Garcia Pimienta's side are down in 13th spot in the table, they are only four points behind sixth-placed Rayo Vallecano, and Los Nervionenses will enter the match off the back of an impressive result, beating Real Valladolid 4-0. Sevilla have actually only been beaten in one of their last six matches in Spain's top flight, with that loss coming at home to Barcelona, so there have been positive signs in recent weeks. Garcia Pimienta's team have picked up 18 points from their 12 home league fixtures this term, and they will be welcoming a Mallorca outfit that have gathered 15 points from their 11 away matches in Spain's top flight during the 2024-25 campaign.

Mallorca, meanwhile, will enter the contest off the back of a 3-1 win over Las Palmas, with that proving to be their first success in Spain's top flight since before the winter break. Like Sevilla, the Pirates are involved in the top-six battle, currently sitting seventh, boasting a record of 10 wins, four draws and 10 defeats from 24 matches to collect 34 points, which has left them one point off sixth-placed Rayo. Jagoba Arrasate's side have struggled offensively this season, only finding the back of the net on 23 occasions, but they have conceded just 30, and their defensive record has kept them in and around the European spots.

Sevilla will welcome Loic Bade and Saul Niguez back into their squad after the pair missed the 4-0 success over Real Valladolid last time out through suspensions, and the former will return to the middle of the defence. Saul might have to accept a spot on the bench, though, as Juanlu Sanchez scored twice from a midfield area last time out, and it would be a huge surprise if the Spaniard dropped out of the XI. The possible starting lineups for the match are:

• Sevilla: Nyland; Carmona, Bade, Salas, Pedrosa; Juanlu, Agoume, Sow; Lukebakio, Romero, Vargas
• Mallorca: Greif; Maffeo, Valjent, Raillo, Mojica; Mascarell, Darder; Asano, D Rodriguez, Navarro; Muriqi

Only one of the last five La Liga meetings between these two sides has finished level, but we are finding it difficult to separate them here; Sevilla have home advantage, but Mallorca have five away wins to their name this term, and we are predicting a low-scoring draw at Estadio Ramon.

The match is expected to be a highly competitive and tense affair, with both teams eager to close the gap to the European spots. Valery Fernandez is one player to watch, with the Mallorca player having a good record in recent matches.
