Athletic Bilbao vs Mallorca Prediction & Betting Tips

Athletic Bilbao vs Mallorca Match Preview

Athletic Bilbao return to San Mamés aiming to bounce back from a difficult stretch across league and Europe. A run of four defeats in five matches has dented their confidence, but home advantage offers a chance to reset.

Mallorca, meanwhile, arrive with a modest record and just one win this season, yet their defensive discipline has kept them competitive.

Bilbao’s Form Slide Raises Questions

The Lions are struggling to rediscover rhythm. They were beaten 4–1 at Dortmund in midweek, following domestic losses to Villarreal and Valencia.

Even at home, the spark has been missing, highlighted by a 0–2 Champions League defeat against Arsenal and a 1–1 draw with Girona.

Despite seven points from their first seven games, their attacking return of only seven goals underlines the lack of cutting edge.

However, San Mamés has historically been a ground where Bilbao dig deep, and against lower-table opposition they usually manage to find solutions.

Mallorca’s Away Struggles Persist

The Islanders broke their winless spell with a narrow 1–0 victory over Alaves, but consistency remains out of reach. Defeats against Sociedad, Espanyol, and Real Madrid exposed their tendency to concede in key moments.

On the road, they are yet to convince, with three away defeats in four outings this season.

Their defense has been compact in parts and draws with Atletico Madrid and Bilbao in recent head-to-heads show they can frustrate bigger teams.

But with only six goals scored this campaign, their lack of attacking punch remains a concern.

Athletic Bilbao vs Mallorca Prediction

This fixture has been cagey in recent years, with four of the last five H2Hs ending level. Both sides have struggled in front of goal this season, making another low-scoring affair likely.

Bilbao’s need to respond in front of their fans adds weight to their chances, particularly against a Mallorca team that rarely shines away from home. The betting market’s call of a narrow home victory underlines the expectation that Bilbao’s stronger squad depth will eventually break through.
