Getafe vs Mallorca Prediction: Goals at a premium in Coliseum slugfest

Getafe are in danger of slipping out of the European spots after picking up just one point from their last three games, but Los Azulones will hope Wednesday's visit (20:30 BST) of relegation-threatened Real Mallorca to the Estadio Coliseum will bring about a change of fortunes.

Below are my Getafe vs Mallorca predictions, supported by all the latest team news and match odds, ahead of this crunch clash in La Liga.

Team News

Getafe defender Abdel Aqbar collected his 10th yellow card of the La Liga season in last Sunday's goalless draw at Real Oviedo and is banned for his side's midweek meeting with Mallorca.

Juanmi and Kiko Femenia (both unspecified) miss out for Jose Bordalas' charges due to injury.

Football Odds

Influential Mallorca midfielder Samu Costa will serve a one-match suspension on Wednesday after picking up his 10th yellow card of the league campaign in last Sunday's 1-1 draw at home to Villarreal.

Jan Salas, Mateo Joseph (both knee) and Antonio Raillo (ankle) are all ruled out for Martin Demichelis' side, while Marash Kumbulla (muscle), Lucas Bergstrom and Justin-Noel Kalumba (both unspecified) are considered doubtful.

Getafe vs Mallorca Odds

Getafe are 5/4 favourites to collect all three points on Wednesday, implying a 44.4% probability of success, with Mallorca 12/5, or a 29.4% chance, to secure back-to-back league away wins for the first time this season, and the draw offered at 21/10.

Bet Builder - Getafe or Draw & Under 2.5 Goals @ 20/21

Costa's suspension could prove costly for Mallorca, with the Portugal international scoring or assisting in four of their last five games.

The 25-year-old has arguably been Mallorca's standout performer this season, thriving in a more advanced role, and he's had a direct hand (goal or assist) in four of their last seven goals, including three of the last four.

The visitors are dealing with several injuries, too, so their squad is looking pretty bare heading into Wednesday's game.

Getafe, meanwhile, have failed to win any of their last three matches, losing the first two by a 2-0 scoreline before last Sunday's goalless draw at Real Oviedo, a result which extend their scoreless streak to three games.

Today's Football Fixtures

Ten of Getafe's last 11 contests, including the last six, have gone under 2.5 goals, while three of Mallorca's last four have featured two or fewer strikes.

Mallorca won November's reverse fixture 1-0 at the Estadi Mallorca Son Moix, and another low-scoring game is expected between the two teams here, with both sides driving towards important objectives.

It's difficult to back either for all three points as Getafe have picked up the third-fewest home points in La Liga this season (21), while only Elche (seven) have collected fewer points on their travels than Mallorca (nine).

Getafe are clearly stronger at home than Mallorca are away, though, and considering the visitors' expected absences on Wednesday, if any team was to walk away with all three points, I'd expect it to be Getafe.
