Real Betis vs Mallorca prediction
Last season, Betis went on an excellent run to the UEFA Europa Conference League final with an abundance of talent in the final third of the pitch and they again appear to b finding their groove this season. They now face a Mallorca side that are becoming a little bit more controlled, both with and without the ball, but siding with the hosts remains the best outcome, though.
