Team Analysis
Mallorca enters this match following a hard-fought victory against Las Palmas, where they showcased resilience by securing a late goal to win 3-2. Currently sitting in 8th place in La Liga with 21 points, they have a solid defensive record, conceding only 0.86 goals per match, making them the 5th best in this aspect. However, they struggle in attack, averaging just 0.9 goals per match. The team is dealing with multiple injuries, including key players such as Takuma Asano, Cyle Larin, and Vedat Muriqi, who is suspended for this match.

Valencia comes into this game following a recent Copa del Rey victory. They managed to secure a significant 4-2 win against Real Betis in their last La Liga match, which has given them some momentum. However, they sit in 18th place in the league, just above the relegation zone, and have struggled significantly away from home, earning only 2 points from 6 matches. Their injury list includes Maximiliano Cufré and Thierry Correia, which further complicates their away performance.

Head-to-Head
Historically, Mallorca and Valencia have faced each other 30 times in La Liga at the Iberostar Stadium, with Mallorca winning 11 times, Valencia winning 14 times, and 5 matches ending in draws. Last season, both encounters ended in draws, highlighting a balanced rivalry.

Prediction
Given the current form and statistical trends, this matchup is likely to be low-scoring. Mallorca’s solid defense and Valencia’s struggles away from home suggest a potential score of 0-0 or 1-0 in favor of either team. The prediction leans towards a draw, and it would be prudent to consider a bet on total goals under 2. Both teams have shown tendencies to keep matches tight, and with their injury concerns, it’s expected that neither will score heavily. Overall, a cautious approach seems warranted, with a focus on low-scoring outcomes likely to prevail in this encounter.

Pick: Under 2 goals
