An important duel in the bottom section of the La Liga, with both Mallorca and Deportivo Alavés experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic “six-pointer” with the home team placed 18th and the visitors in 14th place.

This should be an interesting game with lots of spark and energy as both teams are well rested since they last saw competitive action. Game on!

Mallorca form and stats

Mallorca have played 12 La Liga games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 5-2-5 (wins-draws-losses). With three straight defeats the pressure is piling up on Mallorca to get some points in this home game.

L. Junior was the last player to score a league goal for Mallorca and it's becoming a more and more distant memory as Mallorca haven't scored in 281 minutes.

In their previous game, the manager V. Moreno Peris led his Mallorca to a defeat in the La Liga match away at Espanyol. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Iberostar Estadi. Before that game, the home loss against Real Valladolid with the scoreline 0-1.

Manolo Reina had a busy but productive day in the Espanyol match. Despite making six saves the loss could not be prevented.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Mallorca have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found seven matches with the results: Won four, drawn two and lost one.

Mallorca has scored 15 league goals at home this season, in 12 matches. Mallorca's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 13 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

Deportivo Alavés form and stats

There's been little loot from Deportivo Alavés's travels as they have only collected 8 points from 11 away games in the La Liga. Deportivo Alavés only have 2 wins to counter their 7 defeats and 2 draws.

The supporters enjoyed Deportivo Alavés's previous game versus Eibar (placed 16th), a La Liga 2-1 win played at home. Ahead of that match was the away draw versus Sevilla that ended 1-1.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Deportivo Alavés playing away and similar expectations, we found three relevant matches. Results were two Deportivo Alavés wins, zero draws and one defeat.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Deportivo Alavés as they have only managed to score 10 times from 11 away games in the league. Deportivo Alavés have conceded 24 goals in these games.
