Athletic Bilbao is ranked seventh in the 20-team Spanish La Liga, anchored by a potent offense (42 goals scored in 31 matches). That's the sixth-best offense and they've won three in a row on the road over Real Valladolid (3-1), Espanyol (2-1), and Almeria (2-1). The defense will be without injured centre-back Inigo Martinez and right-back Inigo Lekue. 11 of their last 15 league road games have gone OVER 1.5 goals. 12th-ranked Mallorca is moving up the standings on a 2-1-1 run with wins over Getafe (3-1) and Celta Vigo (1-0), a 3-1 loss to third-ranked Atletico Madrid, along with a 3-3 DRAW versus Real Valladolid. Injured defensive players right-back Giovanni Gonzalez and left-back Ludwig Augustinsson won't be available for this one. Eight of their last 13 have sailed OVER 1.5 goals, as have four of the last six versus Athletic Bilbao. Play Mallorca/Athletic Bilbao OVER the total.
