Deportivo Alavés - Mallorca predictions

Deportivo Alavés will have to fight an uphill battle to win this match. They are the underdogs of the matchup – though Mallorca don’t have a huge advantage. Still, with the 2.54 odds on a home win, things may get a bit dicey.

Mallorca will need to dig deep in order to get past the motivated hosts. An away win at 3.27 betting odds is considered a high risk but that’s exactly why the reward would be much sweeter.

A Rayo Vallecano defeat is something Deportivo Alaves want to make a swift return from. This narrow loss from the previous round of the La Liga came after a tied first half which had the host believing they might get at least a point in front of their home support.

Mallorca are coming on the back of a disappointing draw in their previous La Liga matchup, which they played as the home team. They had the advantage of playing at home, but the odds never clearly marked them as the favourites. It makes sense that neither side managed to gain the upper hand throughout the out.

With more than 5 conceded goals over their latest 3 fixtures, Deportivo Alaves’s performance leaves something to be desired. That said, savvy punters could be able to exploit this – think BTTS or Over 5 Goals markets, for example.

Mallorca have an excellent defensive track record at the moment with no concessions in their previous 3 home games. Although they’re playing without home-field advantage this Friday, we would keep their rock-solid defence in mind for betting purposes.

Alaves’s start of the season left a lot to be desired, but there’s a lot of time to improve. However, their clash with Mallorca will not be easy by any stretch of the imagination. They’ll need a win in order to get as far away from the relegation zone as possible.

Mallorca are placed 7th in the standings, and we can safely assume they wish to climb even farther. A win in this difficult match will be a great way to prove that they can keep up the pace until the season’s end.

Head-to-head records show a tied game between Alaves and Mallorca in the previous season. As the favourites, Deportivo Alaves would not be happy with another draw and will want to snag the 3 points while they have the opportunity.

Our advice is to stay on the safe side and go for the Over 2.5 Goals market. It’s reliable, very probable, and available at odds of 2.70 if you use the Betway sportsbook.
