A La Liga draw at home so far for Mallorca. Last season their home statistics were 14 wins, 3 draws and 4 defeats from 21 matches.

A strong away win for Mallorca against Deportivo Alavés the last match, as Fernando Niño were on target. The goalie Manolo Reina was named most valuable player of the team in that game, scoring 8.05 out of ten. Reina stopped the opponent with four saves and topped it up with a clean sheet. World class coaching! That was the thoughts of L. García Plaza when Fernando Niño scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 64th minute.

The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a home game that ended 1-1 versus Real Betis.
