Bookmaker Ratings prediction two – Over 2.5 Total match goals – 2.25
Bookmaker Ratings prediction three – Handicap Draw Mallorca -1 goal – 4.00
Mallorca are using their home ground, Son Moix, as a fortress in their last few games, with two wins in their last two games there. Meanwhile, Valencia are not at their best lately, with seven straight games without a win in the league, and three away defeats in a row. In addition, Valencia have the semi-finals of the Copa Del Rey more in mind, so it is possible that there will be changes in the starting eleven and some important players could play less minutes.
Valencia are the second team whose games have had more than 2.5 total goals as an away team, with nine games out of 12 played. In Mallorca’s home games, this has not happened as often, but the fact is that their last two games have had at least three total goals.
We think Mallorca are favourites for this match, but Valencia are not a bad away team, their last two defeats were by just one goal, so we think this match could be similar. Therefore, we think it is a good Handicap to deduct a goal for Mallorca so that the match could end in a draw.
With two wins and three defeats in their last five games, Mallorca have scored six goals and conceded another ten goals. In their last eight games, Mallorca have only scored three goals in the second halves, curiously all three goals have been scored in the last three games.
So far this season, Mallorca have only gone into half-time losing their games on five occasions. As a home team it has only happened on one occasion.
Between minutes 21-30 is when Mallorca have scored the most goals so far, with eight goals out of the 23 total goals scored. Mallorca is one of the teams with the lowest scoring capacity in the second halves of their matches.
After the heavy defeat against Barça, 1-4, Valencia are going through a very bad run of results, with two draws and five defeats in the last seven games. Valencia have failed to score a single goal in the first halves of their last three matches.
The difference in Valencia’s attacking potential between their first halves and their second halves is very noticeable, with only 10 goals in the first halves and 27 goals in the second halves so far, undoubtedly a team that has a higher tempo in the second halves.
Because of the defensive weaknesses, especially Valencia’s, we think it is very likely that this match will have at least one goal in the first half. This bet has odds of 1.44 at William Hill.
Mallorca will be without Ruiz de Galarreta, Idrissu Baba and Dominik Greif for this match.

Starting Lineups
Mallorca: Sergio Rico, Oliván, Valjent, Raíllo, Maffeo, Salva Sevilla, Antonio, Dani Rodríguez, Kubo, Ángel, Muriqi.
Valencia: Mamardashvili, Gayá, Diakhaby, Alderete, Foulquier, Guillamón, Moriba, Bryan Gil, Carlos Soler, Guedes, Hugo Duro.
Highlighted Player
Ángel
The Spanish striker has benefited from the arrival of Muriqi from Lazio, as Angel is a fast and elusive player but not very physical, while Muriqi is the complete opposite, so the Kosovan player helps him a lot in Mallorca’s attacks.
