Two sides that will be looking to get back to winning ways in La Liga will lock horns on Saturday. Valencia and Mallorca have both stuttered in recent weeks, and both will be looking to get back on track before the upcoming international break.
La Liga Preview
It had been a solid start to the new season for Valencia, but their European push has been halted slightly in recent weeks after they have failed to win in their last three matches. Valencia will also come into this fixture on the road looking to end a two-game losing sequence in the Spanish top flight.
Their most recent defeat was a 3-0 loss against Real Betis on the road. That defeat means that Valencia have now conceded ten goals across their matches this term. But, they remain incredibly consistent in front of goal after having registered nine efforts. However, their recent run of just one win in five league matches would be a pressing concern ahead of the fixtures in La Liga this weekend.

Mallorca will also be looking for a better performance this weekend, as they sit 15th in the current standings. They have picked up just one win from their opening eight this term. Draws have been a common issue over the opening months of the season, as they have been held in half of their domestic league fixtures.
Ties have been evident in recent weeks for Mallorca, as they have played out draws in each of their last two matches in the league. The most recent of those was an entertaining 2-2 draw against Rayo Vallecano. Vedat Muriqi and Antonio Sanchez put Mallorca 2-1 ahead, before Vallecano snatched a point in the 112th minute.
Mallorca vs Valencia Head to Head
Mallorca have won each of their last two matches against Valencia, which includes a 1-0 win in this exact fixture last term. Meanwhile, Valencia have won just once across their last five La Liga matches against Mallorca, with that success coming on the road in February 2022.
Mallorca vs Valencia Prediction
This is a tricky game to call between these two rivals in Spain this weekend. However, it could be challenging to overlook Mallorca’s recent record against Valencia. Therefore, we will be siding with the home side picking up a second victory in the league before the international break on Saturday.
