Laliga Spain: Valencia vs Mallorca detailed prediction

Assessing Mallorca's form

Mallorca is one of the worst teams in the league in terms of scoring, with only Cadiz scoring less. “Red-Blacks” are more about defense than attack. And thanks to this tactic, the islanders are now at a decent distance of five points from the relegation zone. This is all true. But if you look at the situation from the other side? Against the majority of La Liga teams, Mallorca's footballers playing in attack is really suicide, they lack level and class.

But why not play number one and please your fans with brilliant football in a match against Valencia - one of the middle teams in the championship with a mediocre defense in Primera? After all, if you reveal your attacking potential not in a match against a given opponent, then against whom? And if we take the last six rounds of the league, then three times in them Mallorca played with a TB of 2.5, and in two more cases it was close to this, scoring two goals together with its opponents.

Valencia chances

“Bats” are eighth in the championship, the team is definitely struggling to end up in the Euro cups next season, although for this they need to withstand tough competition, the gap from the superior 6 is just six points, while there are two matches in reserve. Previously, Valencia beat Getafe at home in a difficult match with a score of 1:0, and it was not for nothing that goalkeeper Mamardashvili became the best player of the match. The team is unbeaten in three matches in a row, with previous draws against Real and Sevilla.

Valencia stalled a little on the offensive side against Sevilla and Las Palmas, but fortunately the team began to slowly gain momentum, and for example, a victory over Getafe or a fighting draw with Ancelotti’s men (2:2), speak of some improvement in the game of the “Bats”.

And of course, it should be noted that both matches were played at home for the team, but if we take into account its away performance this season, we will see that Valencia scores on average about 1.08 goals. Valencia lost 7 out of 13 matches on the road, won three times and the same number of matches ended in a draw.

Match prediction

We would venture to suggest that this fight will turn out to be much more spectacular than bookmakers and most betting fans expect. Matches between teams from the bottom of the table are not always grassroots games. There is no point in Valencia sitting on the defensive, in desperate attempts not to fall out of the fight for European competition, the team plays very brave football, not typical of outsiders.

The hosts look like the favorites of the match, but the guests are quite capable of helping Mallorca make this match top in terms of totals. Well, as for the “Cinnabar” team, they are quite capable of scoring two, or even three, goals against such an opponent in their own walls. Why not? It wouldn’t be surprised by Mallorca’s crushing victory here, or by a conditional 2-1 in either direction.
