Mallorca vs Real Valladolid Prediction

With four matches left to go in the 2024/25 La Liga season, the race for the Europe heats up. Mallorca welcome Real Valladolid to the Estadi de Son Moix as the hosts look for a victory to improve their chances of securing a place in Europe for next season.

Mallorca sit tenth right now but with Spain set to receive a fifth spot in the Champions League, it allows teams as low as eighth to achieve Europe. Mallorca are separated by goal difference from a Conference League spot and two points off a Europa League spot, so playing already relegated Valladolid, it is a perfect opportunity to turn their poor form around to make a late surge to achieve European status for next campaign.

As for Real Valladolid, it has not been a season their fans would have hoped for. 16 points from 34 games and they cannot even get out of twentieth. A goal difference of -58 and conceding almost 30 more than any other side, it is no surprise they will be dropping into the second tier of Spanish football next season.

As the game approaches, here is everything you need to know about both sides ahead of kick-off.

Mallorca Preview, Form and Standout Players

Mallorca Predicted Lineup (5-4-1): Greif; Mojica, Copete, Raillo, Valjent, Maffeo; Rodriguez, Darden, Costa, Sanchez; Larin .

Abdon Prats and Manu Morlanes are the only players expected to be missing for the hosts on Saturday.

They have won just once- against Real Sociedad- in their past five matches so this is a great opportunity to get back on track against as side who have been poor all season and have nothing to play for. The only worry here is that because it is such an easy game on paper, Mallorca must make sure not to get too comfortable and need to play to win. They have drawn with Leganes and also lost to all of Girona, Barcelona and Celta Vigo.

Mallorca will be looking to add a few goals to their tally on Saturday, after going scoreless in their last three, they will need Larin to add to his tally of six goals and he should definitely get chances in this game.

Real Valladolid Preview, Form and Standout Players

Rea Valadolid Predicted Lineup (4-1-4-1): Ferreira; Aznou, Comert, Candela, Perez; Juric; Moro, Amallah, Chuky, Anuar; Latasa.

It is likely that Javi Sanchez, Henrique, and Joseph Aidoo will all be sidelined for Saturday evening after picking up recent injuries.

They have lost their past eight games on their way to relegation, however, went scoreless just once, so they can definitely find the net in this game. With Mallorca also struggling to find the net themselves, this could draw an unlikely point for Valladolid.

Valladolid have nothing to play for so will most likely just play with freedom, and they would give anything to give a point for travelling supporters, and it is a genuine possibility here.

Head-to-head Comparison
