Valencia head into this fixture boosted by a 2-0 Copa del Rey victory away at Sporting Gijón, a result that secured progression and provided a rare confidence lift. However, that win highlighted a worrying trend — it was just their second victory in regular time this season, following an earlier league success against Levante.
In La Liga, Valencia’s form has been deeply concerning. They have managed just one league win in their last 11 matches, a run that has dragged them perilously close to the relegation places. Even home advantage has offered little comfort, with the hosts winless in four of their last five matches at the Mestalla. Defensive lapses and a lack of cutting edge in attack remain key issues that manager Rubén Baraja will be desperate to address.
Betting on Mallorca
● 1XBet Spread: 0
● 1XBet Moneyline: 3.10
● 1XBet Over/Under: Under 2.5
Mallorca arrive in Valencia after a disappointing Copa del Rey exit, having suffered a narrow 1-0 defeat to Deportivo La Coruña. That loss ended a five-match unbeaten run across all competitions, during which they had recorded two wins and two draws.
In league action, however, Mallorca have shown more promise. Their most recent La Liga outing produced a convincing 3-1 home win over Elche, extending their three-game unbeaten run in the competition. That said, their away form remains a concern, particularly at the Mestalla, where they have failed to score in their last two visits. Improving their attacking output on the road will be key if they are to claim a positive result here.
MatchPlug Prediction for Valencia vs Mallorca
With both sides positioned near the lower end of the table, avoiding defeat will be a priority. Valencia are under pressure to move clear of the relegation zone, while Mallorca will be keen to maintain distance from danger and build on their recent league momentum.
Historically, this fixture has been closely contested. Fifteen previous meetings have ended in draws, while Valencia have drawn three of their last five matches overall. Mallorca, meanwhile, have managed just one win in their last five away games, and three of their last seven trips to Valencia have finished level.
All signs point toward a tight, low-risk encounter with few chances at either end.
Final Prediction: Draw
