Joaquin Caparros’ side have already equalled their highest-ever points total after five top-flight games with three wins and two draws and will look to make it their best start with three points at Coliseum Alfonso Perez.

Despite their strong start they are not considered favourites to win the match at 21/10 in the 90 Minutes market, while Getafe can be backed at 6/5 to secure only their second La Liga win of the campaign.

It is clear that Mallorca’s success so far this season has been based around their strong defensive play, emphasised by the fact they have only managed to score seven goals to date, two of which came in their 2-0 win against Valencia last time out, while conceding just three.

Caparros, who is again set to be without Giovani dos Santos, Javi Marquez and Alvaro, will hope his back-line again come up trumps on Monday.

Getafe are languishing down in 17th position, although they have had a difficult start to the campaign with games against the likes of Sevilla and Barcelona, while their only win came against local rivals and reigning champions Real Madrid.

Therefore, Luis Garcia’s side are capable of producing the goods, but the coach has warned against conceding more sloppy goals with ten already shipped in their opening five matches.

Getafe will also be without Alexis Ruano, who begins a two-game ban after his dismissal in the defeat to Celta Vigo last time out.

History is just siding with Mallorca as the Islanders have won ten out of their 20 fixtures, compared to Getafe who have won seven, which again points to a tight game in store.

With Mallorca stingy at the back this game could well be decided by a momentary lapse in the Getafe defence as they are a side which are noted for the scoring abilities with just six on the board to date, so a 1-0 win for the visitors could be worth noting at 15/2 in the Correct Score market.

But we feel a tight game will be reflected in the outcome and both sides should have enough in the tank to collect a hard-earned point from this head-to-head.

Prediction: Draw 90 Minutes @ 12/5
