Team Analysis
In recent years, Mallorca’s overall level has been in the lower mid-table of La Liga, though they managed to reach a mid-table position in the 2022-2023 season. Last season, their performance remained less than ideal, finishing in 15th place with a record of 8 wins, 16 draws, and 14 losses over 38 games, thus successfully avoiding relegation. This season, Mallorca’s performance has been impressive, with a current winning streak at home. Over the last 10 league games, Mallorca has recorded 5 wins, 2 draws, and 3 losses, placing them 6th in the standings.

Athletic Bilbao has shown noticeable improvement in La Liga in recent years. Last season, they finished 5th with a record of 19 wins, 11 draws, and 8 losses across 38 games, marking their second consecutive season in the top six and securing a spot in the UEFA Europa League group stage. This season, the team has continued to perform well, defeating Espanyol 4-1 at home in the last round. Over the last 10 league games, Athletic has recorded 5 wins, 2 draws, and 3 losses, placing them 5th in the standings.

Odds Analysis
Currently, Athletic Bilbao and Mallorca have the same points, ranking 5th and 6th, respectively, with similar performances. However, in terms of overall strength, Athletic Bilbao is still considered superior to Mallorca. Additionally, in recent head-to-head matches, Mallorca has managed to remain unbeaten at home against Athletic Bilbao. Nevertheless, this season, Mallorca’s performance has clearly exceeded expectations, yet the home game is still set at an even handicap, indicating that the odds-makers are not very confident in the home team. Therefore, the experts believe that backing Athletic Bilbao to remain unbeaten away is a worthwhile option.

Pick: Athletic Bilbao
