Mallorca Hosts Struggling Valencia in Crucial LaLiga Match

RCD Mallorca is set to face off against Valencia CF in a pivotal LaLiga match on Friday, November 29, 2024, at the Estadi Mallorca Son Moix. Mallorca, currently eighth in the LaLiga standings with 21 points from 14 games, will be looking to extend their unbeaten run against Valencia to five matches. The hosts have won six matches, drawn three, and lost five so far this season, and are coming off a dramatic 3-2 away win against Las Palmas.

Valencia, on the other hand, is struggling in 18th place with just 10 points from 12 games. They have managed only two wins, four draws, and six losses. Despite their recent victories over Real Betis in LaLiga and Parla Escuela in the Copa del Rey, Valencia’s away form remains a significant concern, with only two wins in their last 14 away LaLiga matches.

The head-to-head statistics favor Valencia historically, with 18 wins out of 40 meetings, but recent form suggests Mallorca might have the upper hand. In their last four meetings, Mallorca have been unbeaten against Valencia. Key players to watch include Dani Rodríguez for Mallorca, who has scored three goals and provided three assists this season, and Hugo Duro for Valencia, who has scored four goals in 10 games.

Injuries and suspensions will also play a role in the match. Mallorca will be without Vedat Muriqi due to suspension, and several players including Abdon Prats, Toni Lato, and Antonio Raillo are out injured. For Valencia, players like Maximiliano Caufriez, Mouctar Diakhaby, Rafa Mir, and Thierry Correia will miss the game.

Predictions lean towards a Mallorca victory, with many betting tips suggesting a win for the hosts. The odds favor Mallorca, with a predicted scoreline of Mallorca 1-0 Valencia or Mallorca to win to nil.
