Getafe-Maiorca is a match from the 15th day of La Liga and is played on Friday at 17:00: odds, predictions, TV and streaming.
Achieving the reassuring quota of forty points as soon as possible – even if in the last La Liga they saved themselves with even less – is the goal that Getafe and Mallorca have in common, both of them out of the relegation zone for now. The Madrid outfit, however, cannot afford to rest on their laurels: they have collected 14 points in as many matches and the margin over the red zone is very small, just three points.
The team led by Quique Sanchez Flores is fresh from two victories in the Copa del Rey, the last one coming on 20 December against Diocesano, but they have faced two clearly inferior opponents and have not even beaten them that clearly. In La Liga, on the other hand, things were not going so well before the World Cup break. Particularly bloody was the defeat suffered in the direct clash with Almeria, which had interrupted a streak of five consecutive useful results (four draws and one win). The feeling is that Getafe – and above all its coach – will have a lot at stake in the coming games, in which they will have to face Mallorca, Sevilla and Espanyol, before the prohibitive away match with Xavi’s Barcelona. In short, relegation is a real danger: since the 2004-05 season, the Azulones have only slipped into the Segunda on one occasion.
Mallorca are much better off, led by the goals of former Lazio man Muriqi, who has been completely reborn on the largest island of the Balearic Islands. The Piratas have 19 points and currently occupy a quiet position in the standings. The Kosovar striker had decided the last league match and it was thanks to one of his goals that the Mexican coach Aguirre’s team won a prestigious victory against Simeone’s Atletico Madrid.

The Prediction
A direct clash that promises to have an uncertain outcome, not only because it is back to business after a two-month break. Mallorca, however, seem to have something more than Getafe and should be able to avoid defeat in a match with at least two goals in total.

- GETAFE (5-3-2): Soria; Suárez, Djené, Mitrovic, Duarte, Iglesias; Milla, Maksimovic, Aleñá; Unal, Borja Mayoral.
