Mallorca - Las Palmas predictions

The odds are definitely leaning in the hosts’ favour, but this match is far from a done deal. Judging by odds alone, Las Palmas may yet be able to walk away with a draw or even a surprise victory – though it’s still a longshot.

With a price of 7.02 on an away win among most online sportsbooks, it’s clear Las Palmas will likely not fare well against Mallorca. Even a draw seems to be too optimistic for the away team.

Mallorca will have plenty to regret when it comes to their last La Liga game. The betting odds went against them (ODDS_HOME_WIN_LAST_ROUND) but their fans hoped for a positive result. The things did not work their way however as they fell behind in the first half and ultimately lost by a single goal margin (HOME_LAST_ROUND_HOME).

Las Palmas were playing an away game in an extremely difficult matchup against Real Sociedad in the previous round. Quite predictably, they fell behind in the first half – and the second half didn’t go much better either, ending in a harsh 2:0 defeat.

The recent match history for Mallorca doesn’t seem promising if you’re looking for some excitement. The previous two games they played as hosts ended with very little goals – less than 2 in total in both instances.

It’s easy to spot a certain trend when looking over Las Palmas’s recent history – and not in a good way. Their latest appearances were marked by a high concession rate. For example, their previous 3 matches featured more than 5 conceded goals.

If there’s one thing to note about the history of this matchup, it’s a fact their matches tend to end in a draw. Several matches this season ended inconclusively, so it neems neither team is able to reliably tip the scales one way or another.

Fortunately, both teams will have a complete lineup this Saturday, with no players out due to injury or suspension.

And Under 2.5 Goals bet may not be the obvious choice, but that may be exactly what makes it good. The William Hill sportsbook is pricing this fixture at 1.50, which offers substantial betting value. It’s not without risks, of course, but it’s statistically an excellent choice.
