Valencia - Mallorca predictions

By pricing a home win at around 2.18, the bookies made it clear that Valencia are the favourites. Overall, though, the difference between the teams is not big, and the match can end either way.

Mallorca appear severely unprepared for a clash with Valencia, to the point of being considered hard underdogs. We would consider even a draw a success, so the long 4.35 odds for an away win bit seem fitting.

Valencia’s previous La Liga clash came down to a single goal making the difference. Valencia held well for the first 45 minutes but did not have enough gas in their tank to push through the entire match. In the end, a narrow Villarreal home defeat is what they will be looking to bounce back from this Saturday.

Mallorca won their previous La Liga matchup thanks to a late-game decider. They spent most of the game’s runtime toe-to-toe with Granada, which was somewhat unexpected considering how one-sided the betting odds initially were.

With two consecutive matches with 1 goal or fewer, games in which Valencia play are not the best for Over markets.

Mallorca fans have a lot of cause for concern – with 6 concessions in their latest 3 away games, their track record seems to indicate a tendency to underperform in away games.

The home team had several opportunities to beat Mallorca this season, yet never managed to get anything other than a draw. They’re still considered the favourites, though, and the home-field advantage might be just what they need to break the stalemate.

Though the odds are against the visitors, at least they’ll be in a position to put up as much of a fight as possible. All of their lineup is accounted for in this match, with no issues from suspensions or injuries.

Our advice is to go for an Under 2.5 Goals market, though it was likely not your first instinct. While the probability is rather low compared to what you’re used to from Under 2.5 bets, it compares favourably to the 1.40 odds offered by 888Sport.
