A Sports Betting Pick by Gladiator
Football: Spanish La Liga - Round 11
Estadio de La Cartuja (Sevilla), Spain
Sunday, 2nd November 2025 - Kick Off 21:00 CET
Betis
Real Betis will be eager to respond after suffering just their second La Liga defeat of the season, a 2-0 loss at home to Atlético Madrid that halted their eight-game unbeaten run in all competitions. That setback also marked the first time Manuel Pellegrini’s men failed to score in the league this term - a rare off day for a side that has generally impressed in front of goal. Any doubts over their attacking sharpness were quickly dismissed in midweek, as Betis thrashed lower-division opposition 7-1 in the Copa del Rey, a result that should restore confidence heading into this clash.
Returning to their temporary home at Estadio de La Cartuja, Betis will hope to maintain their strong record against teams in the bottom half of the table. Both of their league defeats have come against high-flying sides, but when facing weaker opposition, they’ve been far more dominant. With Antony, Isco, and Ayoze Pérez all contributing creatively, and the midfield offering plenty of drive, Betis look well placed to return to winning ways and keep their European ambitions on track.
Mallorca
Mallorca, meanwhile, enter this fixture with cautious optimism. Though still hovering near the relegation zone, Javier Aguirre’s men have shown signs of improvement in recent weeks, collecting seven of their nine league points this season over the last four rounds (W2, D1, L1). Their most impressive result came in a 1-0 win away to Sevilla, and they’ll now aim to achieve back-to-back away victories in La Liga for the first time since September 2024.
However, their record against top-half opposition leaves plenty of concern — just one point from five such encounters this season underlines the gap in quality they often struggle to bridge. Striker Vedat Muriqi remains their primary source of inspiration with five goals already to his name, including four away from home, and he’ll once again be crucial if Mallorca are to trouble a Betis side that tends to dominate possession at home.
The Betting Verdict
Betis have been reliable scorers at home, and their attacking options should be too much for a Mallorca team that rarely manages clean sheets against stronger opposition. At the same time, Mallorca’s recent improvement and Muriqi’s form suggest they’re capable of finding the net if Betis leave space in behind. The home side’s games against bottom-half teams have often featured goals at both ends, and this one looks set to follow that trend. With both teams entering this fixture with attacking confidence and shaky defensive moments, Over 2.5 Goals stands out as the most appealing play.
