--------------------------------
RCD Mallorca
Mallorca, coached by Jagoba Arrasate, is preparing for the 2025-26 La Liga season after finishing 15th in 2024-25. They lost 2-1 to West Bromwich Albion in a friendly on July 26, 2025, showing attacking intent but defensive weaknesses. Their pre-season form includes 1 win, 1 draw, and 2 losses, averaging 1.3 goals scored and 1.5 goals conceded. Key players include Cyle Larin (striker), Sergi Darder (former Lyon midfielder), and new signing Johan Mojica. Mallorca’s strengths are their compact 4-4-2 and home form at Estadi Mallorca Son Moix, but their lack of clinical finishing is a concern. They aim to build momentum for their La Liga opener, with Darder facing his former club.
Olympique Lyonnais
Lyon, led by Pierre Sage, is gearing up for the 2025-26 Ligue 1 season after a 6th-place finish in 2024-25. They beat Hamburger SV 3-0 in a friendly, showcasing attacking flair. Their pre-season form shows 2 wins and 1 draw, averaging 2.3 goals scored and 0.7 goals conceded. Key players include Orel Mangala, Afonso Moreira, and Alexandre Lacazette, with Mangala and Moreira’s inclusion to be confirmed before kickoff. Lyon’s strengths are their high-pressing 4-3-3 and midfield dynamism, but their defense can struggle against low blocks. They target a strong pre-season for their Ligue 1 opener against Strasbourg.
Head-to-Head
Mallorca and Lyon have no recent competitive meetings, making this their first encounter in over a decade. Friendlies between La Liga and Ligue 1 sides average 2.7 goals, with 60% over 2.5 goals and 50% both teams scoring (BTTS), suggesting an open game.
Predicted Score: Mallorca 1-2 Olympique Lyonnais Grammy
This friendly on July 30, 2025, at Kufstein Arena, Austria, at 5:30 PM CEST (5:30 AM SGT), is Lyon’s fourth pre-season match. Mallorca’s Larin and Darder face Lyon’s Lacazette and Mangala, with Lyon’s press likely testing Mallorca’s defense. Lyon are favorites (-152 odds) over Mallorca (+310), with a draw at +275. Trends (Lyon: 70% over 2.5 goals; Mallorca: 50%) suggest goals. The 22°C evening and neutral venue should keep cards low. Lyon is likely to score through Lacazette, with Larin possibly netting for Mallorca. Lyon’s attacking form and Mallorca’s defensive issues point to a narrow Lyon win, though Darder’s motivation keeps it close.
