In their previous game, the manager A. Iraola Sagarna led his Vallecano to a defeat in the La Liga match away at Real Madrid. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Estadio de Vallecas. Midfield player Óscar Valentín got a match rating of 7.44 in that game, the max score being 10. Valentín had 68 successful passes (of 71 total).

Preceding that game was the home draw versus Celta de Vigo that ended 0-0.

The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match. There could be betting value if you think differently, so to help you here are the stats from Vallecano's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played ten games, won six matches, drawn two and lost two.

Mallorca form and stats

There's been little loot from Mallorca's travels as they have only collected 5 points from 6 away games in the La Liga. Mallorca only have 1 win to counter their 3 defeats and 2 draws. Sharing is caring, but Mallorca are perhaps overdoing it with their four draws in a row.

There were no winners in Mallorca's previous match, a La Liga home game that ended 2-2 vs Elche (placed 18th). Pablo Maffeo, who plays in defense, got the "man of the match" on his team with the rating 8.05. Maffeo scored one goal and won 10 of 13 duels.

Preceding that game, the 1-1 draw paying a visit to Cadiz.

As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Mallorca playing away, we found five games. Results were one away win, two draws and two home wins.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Mallorca as they have only managed to score 5 times from 6 away games in the league. The Mallorca manager L. García Plaza has some worries about the defense as 12 goals have been conceded in these travels.

Head 2 Head

Data for the prior ten meetings featuring these two sides are: four wins for Vallecano, one draw and five wins for Mallorca. Over 2,5 goals: four times; under 2,5 goals: six games.
