Simon Dalton presents his prediction for the La Liga match.
Deportivo Alavés will be striving to climb from the lower reaches of the table and halt their extended run without a win in their upcoming fixture. However, they face a resilient Real Mallorca, who are no pushovers on the road. The home side, too, will be keen to push into the European competition spots, especially against an opponent that isn't the most formidable.
Deportivo Alavés
Deportivo Alavés have struggled significantly this season, suffering five consecutive defeats and conceding heavily—averaging 1.7 goals per match, with 19 goals against in 11 outings. Notably, they failed to score in three of their last four matches.
Real Mallorca
Real Mallorca, in contrast, have shown more stable form, losing just one of their last six matches. The club boast a reliable defence, conceding an average of only 0.72 goals per game, and games involving them have seen a total under 2.5 in nine out of ten recent encounters. Additionally, their surprising proficiency in away fixtures is noteworthy—Real Mallorca haven’t scored only in one of their five away games this season. Their main attacking threats, Vedat Muriqi, Daniel Rodríguez, and Valery Estrada, have each netted twice.
Deportivo Alavés vs Real Mallorca Prediction
Given Deportivo Alavés' poor form in recent rounds and Real Mallorca's effective scoring ability on the road, the visitors are expected to pose considerable challenges to their opponents. With no significant injury concerns for Real Mallorca, we’re confident they will find the back of the net at least once.
