The contrasts in these two teams situations couldn’t be greater. Getafe woeful form from the tail end of last season continues, leaving them in the relegation zone with one win from five this term; and last week at Celta they were utterly outclassed.
Mallorca are flying high, sitting in fourth, and undefeated. There is no big secret to the way they play, their physical, direct and organised style is the distillation of Joaquín Caparrós's philosophy. And efficient, on the last day’s evidence; just three efforts on target yielded two goals in the win over Valencia.
Javi Marquez is out of the squad for the visitors, so I expect his place in the middle to be filled by Victor. Alexis was sent off for the hosts against Celta, which should see Abraham partner Lopo in the hear of the defence.
Fortune has played a part in both side’s seasons to date, but confidence has been an even bigger factor. We’ll need to see a jump in the latter if Getafe are to get anything here, but I see this one going to form with Mallorca’s tight defence giving them an excellent chance of taking three points.
