"However, although Jagoba Arrasate's side might find themselves at the heart of a relegation scrap, the Pirates should take some solace from their recent success on home soil. Last seen in front of their own supporters putting in a thumping performance as they cruised their way to a 4-1 romp against Sevilla, Mallorca have won three of their previous four showdowns in Palma."
"Missing out against Barcelona last week with a reported muscle issue, Mallorca are once again sweating over the fitness of Japanese international Takuma Asano. However, aside from the former Bochum striker, Arrasate's side have reported a clean bill of health. Enjoying what has been a sensational run this season and notching 15 goals in his 22 La Liga appearances, attacking talisman Vedat Muriqi will shoulder plenty of Mallorca's goalscoring threat."
Real Betis travel to Palma aiming to make up ground in the Champions League chase. Mallorca are embroiled in a La Liga relegation battle but retain strong home form, winning three of their last four matches in Palma, including 4-1 against Sevilla and 3-2 versus Athletic Bilbao. Takuma Asano is a fitness doubt after a reported muscle issue, while the rest of the squad are reported fit. Vedat Muriqi has scored 15 goals in 22 league appearances and leads Mallorca's attacking threat. Mateo Joseph could be recalled. Betis rebounded with a 1-0 win at Atletico after a 5-0 Copa del Rey defeat.
