Key Facts
- Getafe sits in 7th place with 45 points and is still fighting for a European spot (just 1 point ahead of Real Sociedad).
- Getafe failed to score in four of their last five league games; with 28 goals this season, they have the second-weakest attack in the league.
- Mallorca travels with personnel issues: Samú Costa is suspended, Johan Mojica has adductor problems — Demichelis’s high-pressing system needs fresh legs.
- In the last five head-to-head matches, all first halves saw fewer than 1.5 goals; Getafe failed to score in the first half of any of those matches.
- Mallorca has dominated the current head-to-head series with three wins and has even won twice at the Coliseum, which calls for caution despite Getafe’s home advantage.
- Due to the offensive limitations and injury concerns of both teams, the betting value lies more in “Both Teams to Score: No” or “Under 1.5 Goals” scenarios.
José Bordalás is fighting for a European spot, while Martín Demichelis is battling to avoid relegation. When Getafe hosts Mallorca on Wednesday, May 13, in La Liga’s 36th matchday, two teams under vastly different pressures will face off. The first league clash in November 2025 went to Mallorca, 1-0 at Son Moix, and the return match also appears less open than the starting point might suggest. Getafe has recently looked solid but harmless in front of goal, while Mallorca’s 1-1 draw against Villarreal brought a valuable point but also brought new fitness concerns.
- Venue: Coliseum, Getafe
- Date and time: May 13, 2026, 9:30 PM
- Competition: La Liga (Matchday 36)
The betting market clearly sees Getafe as the home favorites, but the real value lies more in the flow of the game than in the final score. Bordalás’s side has scored just once in their last five La Liga matches, while Mallorca travels to Madrid depleted and without the suspended Samú Costa.
Getafe Form & Record Check
The goalless draw at Oviedo was both a missed opportunity and a useful away point for Getafe. Against an opponent that ended up with only nine men on the field, the team lacked clarity in the final third. Prior to that, there had been two 0-2 home losses against Rayo Vallecano and Barcelona, so the real problem isn’t effort or structure, but whether the team can convert possession into truly dangerous shots on goal.
Mallorca has the edge in the last five meetings: three wins, one draw, one loss. Most recently, the Mallorcans won 1-0 at home in November 2025, while Getafe’s only victory in this series came in May 2025 at Son Moix, a 2-1 win. At the Coliseum, Mallorca won twice in 2024, first 0-1 and then 1-2.
The underlying pattern is revealing for any prediction: In all five meetings, the first half saw fewer than 1.5 goals; four times the score was tied at halftime, and Getafe did not score a single goal before the halftime whistle in this series. No game exceeded 3.5 goals, and Mallorca scored in four of the five matches. This suggests a patient approach rather than early goals, which fits well with the current pressure on both sides.
Mallorca Form & Record Check
This imbalance characterizes the team’s overall league form: Getafe sits in seventh place with 45 points, just one point ahead of Real Sociedad, but has the league’s second-weakest attack with 28 goals while boasting one of the best defensive records with 36 goals conceded. Mauro Arambarri and Luis Milla remain the heart of the team’s control, while Borja Mayoral and Martín Satriano need cleaner passes.
The inclusion of Zaid Romero in Argentina’s preliminary World Cup squad list provides a boost, but the collective problem runs deeper. Getafe has failed to score in four of its last five league games. The 1-0 win at Real Sociedad was valuable, but it came about only through an own goal. The defensive ceiling is impressively high, while the offensive output is, unfortunately, just as consistently low.
José Bordalás is likely to stick with a 5-3-2 formation, with David Soria – 13 in goal behind Abdel Abqar – 3, Domingos Duarte – 22, and Zaid Romero – 24. Since Getafe has no reported injuries, the central midfield should feature Luis Milla – 5, Dakonam Djené – 2, and Mauro Arambarri – 8, while Borja Mayoral – 9 and Martín Satriano – 10 are expected to form the attacking duo.
Getafe – Mallorca Head-to-Head & Stats
The 1-1 draw against Villarreal felt like a hard-fought point that still came at a cost. Vedat Muriqi equalized shortly before halftime and now has 22 league goals, keeping him in the race for the Pichichi. But the end of the match showed why Demichelis has reason to be concerned: Several starters were running on fumes.
Johan Mojica left the field with adductor problems, Pablo Torre suffered cramps, and Manu Morlanes and Mateu Morey were badly shaken.
The club expects Pablo Maffeo back from suspension, but Samú Costa is suspended after picking up his tenth yellow card. His absence is significant, as Mallorca’s more aggressive pressing under Demichelis requires fresh legs, timing, and cover in midfield.
Nevertheless, the team’s recent league form offers more substance than cause for panic. The 1-0 win in Girona, the 1-1 draw against Valencia, the convincing 3-0 victory over Rayo Vallecano, and the narrow 1-2 loss at Alavés reveal a team that is fundamentally competitive. The problem is the context: With Elche, Girona, and Espanyol also on 39 points, a lackluster away performance could undo a lot.
