Mallorca
After relegation in the 2019-2020 season to the second division, Mallorca are back in Spanish football’s top league. Last season they were, along with Espanyol, a step above their rivals in the second division.
Among Mallorca’s notable signings for this season are Pablo Maffeo, Jaume Costa and Angel Rodriguez.
The last time Mallorca beat Betis was in 2013, by a scoreline of 1-0.
Real Betis
Having qualified for this season’s Europa League, Betis will be looking to go as far as possible in that competition, and finish in the top six in the Spanish league.
Betis have built up their arsenal this season, especially in defence, which is the area where they have struggled the most in recent years. The new signings are Rui Silva, the goalkeeper from Granada, Juan Miranda, the left-back who played last season on loan but now returns to Betis, and the-right back Youssouf Sabaly, from Girondins de Bordeaux.
Last season Betis were the seventh best-performing away team.
