Kick-off: 17.01.2026, 15:15 UTC / 18:15 MSKStadium: Estadi Mallorca Son Moix
Competition: La Liga
Match Preview
Mallorca enters this match with a mixed bag of results in their recent outings, having recorded two wins in their last five matches. Their home form remains a vital asset, as playing at Son Moix has traditionally provided them with an advantage. Coach Javier Aguirre will look to bolster their midfield presence and get the better of Athletic’s experienced lineup.
On the other hand, Athletic Club is riding the wave of solid performances, having gone unbeaten in their last four matches, which includes key victories against other top-tier teams. Manager Ernesto Valverde has instilled confidence in his squad as they navigate through the challenges of La Liga. They are expected to rely on their robust defense alongside a creative attack spearheaded by their dynamic forwards.
Team Form and Analysis
Mallorca
Mallorca's defensive unit has shown some vulnerability lately, conceding an average of two goals per match in recent outings. However, their attacking department is starting to gel, with key players finding form. Injuries have plagued the squad, but it seems Aguirre will be welcoming back crucial midfielders that were sidelined for previous matches. Look for the likes of Lee Kang-in to create chances and lead the team, as they aim to exploit any defensive frailties from Athletic Club.
Athletic Club
Athletic Club is thriving on the confidence stemming from their defensive solidity, having conceded just one goal in their last four matches. Their tactical approach focuses on pressing high and utilizing their wing play effectively. With a full squad available and no significant injuries reported, Valverde will expect his best players to deliver. Expect Iñaki Williams to be at the forefront, using his speed and technique to trouble the Mallorca backline.
