Mallorca vs Sevilla: A Crucial Clash in LaLiga

Mallorca and Sevilla will conclude matchday 22 of LaLiga EA Sports at Son Moix tonight at 21:00, both teams targeting three crucial points to climb out of the relegation zone. A mere three points separate the Andalusians from the Balearic side, with Mallorca positioned just above the drop zone.

Under the management of Jagoba Arrasate, Mallorca comes into this match following a defeat at the Metropolitano against Atlético de Madrid, having won only one of their last five games. Conversely, Almeyda’s Sevilla arrives buoyed by their recent victory over Athletic Club in Nervión, providing them with much-needed momentum.

Morlanes has recovered from his injury, and Lato has participated in part of the week’s training with the team, making him available for selection. Captain Antonio Raíllo has also been included in the squad, although his involvement remains uncertain. Notably, Marash Kumbulla has been excluded from the matchday roster. Despite remaining unbeaten in December, Arrasate’s side has struggled to find form in 2026, even with Vedat Muriqi, the competition’s second-highest scorer, in their ranks.

Sevilla’s journey to Palma was delayed due to a technical issue with their plane yesterday, and they have not won any of their last six away matches in LaLiga. The team hopes to continue the positive trend established after their draw against Elche and the victory over Athletic. Neal Maupay, the only winter signing, is a notable addition to the squad, while Gudelj is suspended. Mendy and Alexis return to the lineup. Historically, Sevilla has fared well at Son Moix, having lost only two of their 18 visits this century.

A key matchup to watch will be between Muriqi and Akor Adams. The Kosovar striker has netted five goals for Mallorca in January, establishing himself as one of Europe’s most in-form forwards. Meanwhile, Adams has also been in scoring form, having registered three goals in two matches since returning from the Africa Cup of Nations.
