Mallorca vs Athletic Bilbao Prediction, 10/28/2024 La Liga Soccer Pick, Tips and Odds

La Liga title fading away for Athletic Bilbao, a big six-pointer

A top-half finish is still possible for Athletic Bilbao, but they can forget about competing for the La Liga title this season.

The Basque Country club lost 1-0 at home to Real Betis last weekend to be left eight points adrift of the Champions League places. With Real Madrid, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid all hitting form, it is hard to see Bilbao making up that ground.

Mallorca looking to build on impressive start

Mallorca returned to La Liga this season after a one-year absence and they have exceeded expectations to sit 12th after 11 games.

A 1-0 win over Elche last Tuesday was their third in four league matches and left them just four points behind sixth-placed Rayo Vallecano.

Mallorca vs Athletic Bilbao Head-to-Head

Athletic Bilbao have won the last two meetings with Mallorca, the most recent of which was a 1-0 victory in the Basque Country last season.

However, Mallorca won the last encounter between the two teams at the Visit Mallorca Estadi, a 2-0 triumph in December 2019.

Mallorca vs Athletic Bilbao Prediction

This is a difficult match to call, with both teams in good form at the moment. However, Athletic Bilbao's superior quality should see them come out on top.

The Basque Country club have a number of dangerous attackers, including Inaki Williams and Nico Williams, and they should be able to cause Mallorca problems.

Mallorca will be no pushovers, but they are likely to be outclassed in this match. Athletic Bilbao are the pick to win, but it could be a close match.
