Deportivo Alavés Hosts RCD Mallorca in Crucial LaLiga Matchup
On Friday, November 1, 2024, Deportivo Alavés will face off against RCD Mallorca in a significant LaLiga matchup. The game, scheduled to kick off at 4:00 PM ET, will be held at Estadio de Mendizorroza in Vitoria-Gasteiz, Spain, and will be broadcast on ESPN Deportes and ESPN+.
Deportivo Alavés, currently sitting in 16th place in the LaLiga standings with 10 points from 11 games, is looking to turn their season around after a string of recent losses. Their top scorers, Kike Garcia and Toni Martinez, each have three goals this season and will be crucial in the team’s effort to secure a win.
RCD Mallorca, on the other hand, is in a more comfortable seventh place with 18 points from 11 games. Led by Vedat Muriqi, who has two goals in eight games, and supported by key players like Valery Fernandez and Sergi Darder, Mallorca is favored to win the match. According to the odds, Mallorca has a predicted score of 2-1 over Deportivo Alavés.
The match is expected to be closely watched, given the contrasting positions of the two teams in the league table. Deportivo Alavés has been favored in five matches this season but has only won twice, while Mallorca has won twice in four matches as an underdog.
The recent form of both teams suggests a competitive encounter. Deportivo Alavés has struggled with losses in their last few games, including defeats to Rayo Vallecano, Real Valladolid, and Barcelona. Mallorca, however, has shown resilience with wins against Rayo Vallecano and Real Valladolid, and a draw against Athletic Bilbao.
