Prediction for Pontevedra vs Mallorca
In the 1960s, Pontevedra regularly played in La Liga. However, in recent decades, they’ve had only one season in the Segunda Division (2004/2005). For the most part, the club has remained in the third tier. Two seasons ago, they finished 19th in the third division, leading to relegation, though they later secured second place in their group in the lower tier. Mallorca, meanwhile, slipped to 15th in La Liga but reached the Copa del Rey final.
Javier Aguirre was replaced by Jagoba Arrasate, who revitalized the team and secured a European qualification spot. Mallorca ended 2024 in sixth place, with nine wins and 30 points. Now, they begin a new Copa del Rey campaign.
Yago Iglesias’ side leads their group, winning two-thirds of their matches. In November, they thrashed Levante 4-1 in the cup and followed it up a month later with a late goal by Almeida Leite to defeat Villarreal.
