Mallorca form and stats

Mallorca have collected 18 points from their La Liga home games so far after 4-6-2. Hopes of three in a row are alive for Mallorca after consecutive victories at their own ground.

Mallorca faced defeat in their previous match, away at Real Betis (1-2). Costa, defender, was given a rating of 7.65/10 in that game, top of the team. Costa served one assist, hit two key passes and won 7 of 7 duels.

Before that game, the 3-2 home victory against Athletic Club.

It could be relevant to look at how Mallorca have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found nine matches with the results: Won three, drawn two and lost four.

Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the La Liga game versus Real Sociedad in only four days. This game is also played here at Iberostar Estadi.

Valencia form and stats

There's been little loot from Valencia's travels as they have only collected 12 points from 12 away games in the La Liga. Valencia only have 3 wins to counter their 6 defeats and 3 draws. Three consecutive losses in away matches means Valencia are growing more and more desperate for a good performance on the road.

Valencia's previous game was their home loss versus Barcelona (1-4). Gil got a match rating of 7.3 in that game, top player of the team. Gil served one assist, hit three key passes and dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times.

Preceding that game, the 1-2 loss visiting Deportivo Alavés's place.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Valencia playing away and similar expectations, we found twelve relevant matches. Results were two Valencia wins, five draws and five defeats.

The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Athletic Club in just four days.

The travelling fans enjoy Valencia's attacking play in away games, having scored 18 goals in 12 league matches away. The Valencia manager Jiménez has some worries about the defense as 25 goals have been conceded in these travels.
