Real Betis will welcome Mallorca to Estadio Benito Villamarín in LaLiga on Monday. Both teams have two wins and eight points in the league thus far, with Los Piratas playing six games, one more than Betis.
Betis made it two wins on the spin on Wednesday as Giovani Lo Celso's second-half brace helped them register a 2-1 home win over Getafe. They were winless in their first two league games of the season and have resumed their league campaign after the international break with back-to-back wins.
The visitors suffered a 2-1 home loss to Villarreal last week and bounced back with a 1-0 home triumph over Real Sociedad on Tuesday. Abdón Prats scored the match's only goal from the penalty spot in the 36th minute.
