Welcome back to Extratips! We’re gearing up for an exciting La Liga clash on March 9th at 17:30 as Athletic Bilbao takes on Mallorca at San Mamés Stadium. Bilbao, sitting comfortably in 4th place with 48 points, will be hungry for victory to solidify their position in the Champions League spots. Meanwhile, Mallorca is languishing in 8th place with 35 points, still vying for a spot in the European competition but needing a serious turnaround from their recent form.

With Bilbao boasting solid home form — 10 wins, 1 draw, and just 1 loss in their last 12 matches at home — they're clear favorites. Bookmaker Bet365 has set Bilbao at 1.48 to win, with a draw at 4.10 and Mallorca at 7.00. Historically, these teams have met countless times, but the last five encounters suggest Bilbao has the upper hand, winning three of them while Mallorca managed to nick a win and a draw.

Expect a tight match with Bilbao likely to outshine Mallorca’s inconsistent away performances — they’ve only managed 5 wins in their 25 matches this season. The mix of Bilbao's strong home record and Mallorca’s lackluster display makes this match a must-watch for any La Liga fan!
