The starting lineup for each team in their previous match in this tournament is indicated.
Mallorca
The team went three consecutive league matches without a win or a goal. Initially, the Islanders drew 0-0 with Athletic, then lost 0-1 to both Alaves and Atletico. In the last round, Jagoba Arrasate's side broke this winless streak by defeating Las Palmas 3-2 away. Mallorca climbed to eighth place, just one point away from the European competition zone.
Forward Vedat Muriqi will miss the match due to suspension.
- The number "1" appeared in the final score of 9 out of Mallorca's last 11 games in La Liga.
- Mallorca has not conceded more than one goal in 7 of their last 9 league matches.
- The first half ended in a draw in 7 of the team's last 8 La Liga encounters.
Valencia
Valencia broke through in the last round, defeating Betis 4-2 at home. This was only the third match in the current La Liga season where they scored more than one goal. The victory ended a five-match winless streak in the league (3 draws and 2 losses). Ruben Baraja's side moved off the bottom of the table, although they remain in the relegation zone, now just two points away from the safe 17th place.
- At least two goals were scored in 7 of Valencia's last 9 league matches.
- The team has not won in the second half in 10 consecutive away matches in La Liga (4 draws and 6 losses).
- In 9 of their last 10 away games in La Liga, Valencia scored only one goal in the second half.
Mallorca vs. Valencia: Match Prediction
It is unlikely that the visitors will emerge victorious in the upcoming match. Valencia rarely shines in the league and is deservedly among the bottom three. In the last 19 La Liga matches, they have only managed two wins (6 draws and 11 losses). Meanwhile, the hosts are in good form and aim to compete for the European competition zone this season. They are particularly strong at Son Moix, where they have only suffered two defeats in their last nine La Liga matches (3 wins and 4 draws), and those were against teams in the top four.
Moreover, I expect the match to be low-scoring. Both clubs have scored very few goals in this La Liga campaign (no more than 1 goal on average per match). Notably, in 11 of Mallorca's last 13 home league games, there were no more than two goals, and the Islanders themselves have not scored more than one goal in their last seven home matches. Valencia is also not impressive in terms of scoring, having netted only two goals in their last six away La Liga matches. Additionally, Valencia has not won in their last nine consecutive away league matches (3 draws and 6 losses).
My prediction – 1X and Total under 2.5 goals
