The 2021-22 edition of La Liga is back in action with another round of fixtures this weekend as Mallorca take on Manuel Pellegrini's Real Betis at the Estadio Benito Villamarin on Sunday.
Real Betis vs Mallorca Preview
Mallorca are currently in 15th place in the La Liga standings and have struggled to cope with the rigours of the top flight this season. The away side edged Athletic Bilbao to a crucial 3-2 victory last week and will need a string of similar results to stay away from the relegation zone.
Real Betis, on the other hand, are in third place in the league table at the moment and have exceeded expectations so far this season. The Andalusian giants defeated Zenit Saint Petersburg by a 3-2 margin in the UEFA Europa League this week and will look to take it up a notch in this fixture.
