Getafe vs Mallorca – News and Probable Lineups

Getafe, who are vying for European qualification, will host Mallorca, who are at risk of relegation, at Estadio Coliseum on Wednesday evening, with both clubs eager for vital points.

Currently, Getafe sits in seventh place in La Liga, trailing sixth-placed Celta Vigo by five points, while Mallorca is in 15th position, just two points clear of the relegation zone.

Match overview

In this season’s 35 league fixtures, Getafe has achieved 13 victories, six draws, and 16 losses, accumulating 45 points to occupy seventh place in the standings, which would earn them a spot in the 2026-27 Conference League playoffs.

The Deep Blue Ones are five points behind sixth-placed Celta, with a prospect of securing qualification for next year’s Europa League still possible for the Madrid-based team.

Jose Bordalas’ squad will come into this match following a goalless draw against bottom-placed Real Oviedo and have experienced three defeats in their last five matches in Spain’s premier division.

Interestingly, Getafe holds the third-worst home record in La Liga this season, managing to gather just 21 points from their 17 home games, whereas Mallorca has the second-worst away record, achieving a mere nine points from their 17 away matches.

Earlier this season, Mallorca triumphed over Getafe with a 1-0 win, and the Pirates have conquered in three of their last four encounters against them.

Mallorca has remained unbeaten away against Getafe since December 2022, and they will approach this fixture following a positive result, having secured a 1-1 draw with third-placed Villarreal on Sunday.

Martin Demichelis’ team has managed to win four of their last eight league games, an impressive record considering their current position, but several teams around them are also achieving positive results, resulting in a gripping relegation battle.

Mallorca stands at 15th place in the league with 39 points, just two points above 18th-placed Alaves, with three matchdays remaining this season.

The Pirates will go up against fellow relegation contenders Levante and Real Oviedo in their last two matches, meaning their fate is largely in their own hands.

Team News

For the matchup, Getafe will be without Juanmi due to an injury, and Kiko Femenia is a significant doubt, unlikely to be fit for selection.

Abdel Aqbar will also be sidelined for the capital side on Wednesday after receiving a notable yellow card in the team’s goalless draw with Real Oviedo.

Without Abqar, it is expected that Djene Dakonam will shift into the back three, with Lucas Vazquez possibly making his way into the starting XI.

Mallorca, on the other hand, may have up to eight players unavailable for Wednesday’s clash.

Jan Salas, Mateo Joseph, and Antonio Raillo are confirmed absentees due to injuries, while Samu Costa will be missing, having been suspended for the yellow card received during the draw with Villarreal.

Marash Kumbulla, Lucas Bergstrom, Johan Mojica, and Justin Kalumba will also undergo late fitness assessments regarding their participation.

Vedat Muriqi is now only two goals shy of Kylian Mbappe in La Liga this season, having scored 22 times.

Getafe probable starting XI:

Soria; Dakonam, Duarte, Romero; Iglesias, Milla, Arambarri, Davinchi; Martin; Satriano, Vazquez

Mallorca probable starting XI:

Roman; Maffeo, Valjent, Lopez, Lato; Darder, Mascarell, Morlanes; Tower; Muriqi, Luvumbo

It’s challenging to confidently support Mallorca given their difficulties on the road this season, yet it is anticipated that the Pirates will be capable of securing at least a point against a struggling Getafe.
