Sevilla FC aims to finally get their third win in La Liga, when they face RCD Mallorca, who are in-need of wins, due to their place. These two teams are actually not doing well recently, which is evident in their league table place. Sevilla is currently at the 15th of the league table, having just 13 points from their 14 matches. Additionally. Sevilla is coming into this match from a 1-1 draw against Villareal, which at least gave them one point. Meanwhile, Mallorca is at the 17th of the league table, having only 11 points from their 15 matches. Just like their opponent, Mallorca is from a goalless draw against Alaves, giving them a much-needed point. The meeting between these two teams is on December 10, 2023, at 4:00 AM (GMT+8).
Sevilla FC
Sevilla, relegated from Spain’s top flight in 1999-2000, finished 12th in La Liga last term. They secured a spot in the Champions League group stage by winning the Europa League in 2022-23. However, they struggled in their group, only gaining two points from five matches. This leaves them at the bottom of Group B. Their league form has been disappointing, with two wins, seven draws, and five defeats from 14 matches, leaving them in 15th position with 13 points. Sevilla has only lost one of their last seven matches in Spain’s top flight, with the team sharing points frequently. In this match, Sevilla will enter on the back of a 2-0 victory over Atletico Astorga, securing their position in the next stage of the Copa del Rey.
Sevilla captain Jesus Navas is expected to miss the next few months due to a thigh problem, while other players remain sidelined. Wholesale changes are expected from Wednesday’s fixture, with Lucas Ocampos, Youssef En-Nesyri, Ivan Rakitic, and Juanlu Sanchez returning.
RCD Mallorca
Mallorca, a Spanish club, has struggled to start the 2023-24 campaign, having only won one of their 15 league matches. With a record of one victory, eight draws, and six losses in La Liga. They are in 17th position, two points outside the relegation zone. The Pirates, who have been draw specialists in Spain’s top flight, have also finished level in their last two league meetings. Mallorca, which secured their spot in the third round of the Copa del Rey with a 3-0 win over Valle Egues, will use this victory as a potential springboard. Meanwhile, Los Bermellones have not won over Sevilla since March 2013, and lost both La Liga meetings last season.
Mallorca is in good shape despite Vedat Muriqi’s ankle injury. Daniel Rodriguez returns for the match, likely starting due to his Copa del Rey goal. Javi Llabres could also start, while Abdon Prats remains the centre-forward.

Sevilla FC (1.5)
