Short Preview

As RCD Mallorca prepares to face Athletic Bilbao on January 17, 2026, both teams are seeking to improve their recent performances in LaLiga. Mallorca has struggled lately, securing just one victory out of their last five matches. Their attacking cohesion appears disjointed, often leaving them vulnerable at the back, which has contributed to a challenging run of form.

On the other hand, Athletic Bilbao has mirrored this trend, also managing only one win in their last five outings. They pride themselves on a disciplined defensive structure and a physical style of play designed to disrupt their opponents’ rhythm. However, they will need to enhance their attacking efficiency to capitalize on any defensive lapses from Mallorca.

Bookmakers currently position Bilbao as the favorites for this contest, reflected in odds of 2.19 for an away win compared to 3.7 for the hosts. Our predictive model gives Mallorca a 25.9% chance of victory, while the probability of a draw stands at 31.2%, and an away win at 43%. With both teams looking to break free from their recent poor form, the match promises to be competitive and unpredictable.
