Sevilla is set to host Mallorca at the Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán Stadium on Saturday, October 18, for LaLiga Matchday 9. The match will commence at 09:00 hours for Chile, Argentina, and Uruguay. This encounter promises excitement as both teams navigate contrasting fortunes this season.
Sevilla’s Strong Performance
The home team, Sevilla, is enjoying a successful run, thanks to standout performances from new signings such as Alexis Sánchez and Gabriel Suazo. Their positive results have placed them in European competition qualifying spots, reflecting their strong position in the LaLiga standings.
Mallorca’s Struggles

- Vedat Muriqi: Mallorca’s top scorer, with 4 goals in 7 matches, remains a significant threat. His contribution will be vital if Mallorca hopes to secure a positive result.
Recent Form
Sevilla comes into this match following an impressive 4-1 victory over Barcelona, with Sánchez contributing a goal from the penalty spot. On the other hand, Mallorca suffered a 2-1 loss against Athletic Club, adding to their challenges this season.
