Real Betis will be bidding to make it three straight wins in La Liga when they continue their 2024-25 campaign with a home fixture against Mallorca on Monday night.

Match preview

Real Betis only picked up two points from their opening three league matches of the season, drawing with Girona and Alaves before suffering a 2-0 loss to Real Madrid immediately before the international break.

Pellegrini's side have managed to win their last two, though, recording a 2-0 victory over Leganes on September 13 before beating Getafe 2-1 five days later.

Giovani Lo Celso scored a brace against Getafe, with the result moving the Seville outfit onto eight points, which is enough for eighth position in the table, three points behind fourth-placed Villarreal.

The Green and Whites will play in the Conference League this season, meanwhile, opening their campaign against Legia Warsaw at the start of October, but they will first take on Mallorca, Las Palmas and Espanyol in Spain's top flight.

Real Betis have won each of their last five league games against Mallorca, including a 1-0 success when the two teams last locked horns in January, and they are unbeaten against Monday's opponents since May 2013.

Mallorca are actually on a run of eight La Liga matches without a win over Real Betis, and they have not even scored in their last three contests with the Green and Whites in Spain's top flight.

Jagoba Arrasate's side started their 2024-25 La Liga campaign with a 1-1 draw against Real Madrid, but they were then beaten by Osasuna and held by Sevilla in their next two matches.

Mallorca's first league win of the season came away to Leganes at the end of August, but they were unable to build on that result, losing 2-1 at home to Villarreal on September 14.

The Pirates will enter this match off the back of an impressive result, though, beating Real Sociedad 1-0 on Tuesday night, with Abdon Prats' first-half penalty deciding the match.

Mallorca have picked up eight points from their opening six league games of the season to sit in ninth position, boasting a record of two wins, two draws and two defeats in Spain's top flight this term.
