Lions Roaring at Home as Mallorca Visit
Athletic Club are set to welcome Mallorca to their San Mamés fortress on March 9th in what's shaping up to be an intriguing LaLiga clash. The Bilbao outfit has been pretty solid lately, especially on home turf where they've snagged three wins and a draw in their last four matches. That's a whopping 75% win rate at home!Ernesto Valverde's men have been finding the net with ease at San Mamés, scoring 13 goals while only conceding twice. Remember that 3-0 dismantling of Girona last month? Classic Athletic domination at home. They've also shown they can do it on the road, like that gritty 2-1 win against Celta back in January.But hey, don't count your chickens before they hatch. Athletic's overall form has been a bit of a mixed bag with 4 wins, 3 draws, and 3 losses in their last 10. That's the kind of inconsistency that keeps fans on their toes, right?

Mallorca's Road Struggles Continue
If there's one thing Mallorca would like to forget, it's their away form. Jagoba Arrasate's squad has been having a nightmare on the road, picking up just one win and one draw from their last six away matches. That's a measly 17% win rate!The numbers don't lie. Mallorca have scored just twice while conceding 13 times when playing away from home. Ouch! Their overall form doesn't paint a prettier picture either – just 2 wins from their last 10 matches.There have been some bright spots, though. Their 3-1 home victory against Las Palmas showed they can put goals together when the stars align. And who can forget that surprising 1-0 away win at Getafe back in December? That was quite the early Christmas present for Mallorca fans!
Battle of the Expectations
When it comes to meeting expectations, neither team has been particularly reliable. Athletic Club have been favorites in 8 of their last 10 matches but only delivered the goods half the time. That's like promising pizza but showing up with a sandwich – not terrible, but not what you ordered.Mallorca? Well, they've been even less dependable. Despite being favorites in 5 of their last 10 matches, they've only managed to come through once. That's a disappointing 20% success rate.One thing worth noting about Mallorca – they've got some late-game drama in them. Just ask Sevilla fans about that February 24th match where Mallorca snatched a draw in the dying minutes. Can they pull off similar heroics at San Mamés? Athletic will certainly be wary of any last-minute surprises.

San Mamés Set for Sunday Showdown
The stage is set for this LaLiga encounter at one of Spain's most iconic venues. San Mamés will be buzzing come Sunday evening, with the home crowd expecting Athletic to leverage their home advantage.The pre-match odds certainly favor the Basque side, with Athletic given a 58.5% chance of victory compared to Mallorca's 15.8%. The possibility of a draw sits at 25.6%.With Athletic's impressive goal-scoring record at home facing off against Mallorca's leaky away defense, something's gotta give. Will Valverde's men continue their impressive home form? Can Arrasate inspire his Mallorca side to defy the odds?One thing's for sure – both teams have plenty to play for as the LaLiga season progresses. Sunday's clash might not be a top-of-the-table affair, but it promises plenty of action for fans at San Mamés. Kick-off is set for 17:30 UTC on March 9th, 2025.
