Mallorca v Valencia

Mallorca vs Valencia Preview

Both Mallorca and Valencia sit just below mid-table in La Liga prior to this upcoming clash on Thursday night at the Visit Mallorca Estadi but with three games remaining of this season's La Liga campaign, Mallorca are still in with a slim chance of achieving a top seven finish while Valencia still need a result to ensure their Spanish top flight status.

Mallorca occupy 12th place and hold a four-point lead over visitors, Valencia, and the hosts find themselves six points shy of a tops even finish with three games remaining so mathematically, Mallorca are still in with a shout of a European spot but they need Athletic Bilbao to slip up.

However, at least two wins on the trot seem a bit of a tall order for Mallorca who have managed to pick up just three wins from their previous 13 games overall which came in the form of victories over Celta Vigo, Getafe and Cadiz but four draws and six defeats within this sequence of results have held the hosts back.

Valencia sit just one league position lower than Mallorca in 13th place but are four points adrift which means that the visitors are still not yet out of the woods in terms of possible relegation as five points separate themselves from the bottom three clubs in La Liga with three games remaining.

An improved period of results in recent weeks has helped Valencia pull away from immediate danger though as the visitors have lost just once in their last six matches overall while also picking up four wins in the process too, and these are in stark contrast to results beforehand.

Valencia had had to endure a tough period in the Spanish top flight which yielded just two league wins within a 15-match stretch from the end of last year through to mid-April but recent wins against Elche, Real Valladolid, Celta Vigo and most impressive of all, a 1-0 home win against Real Madrid have given Valencia a welcome and timely boost.

Mallorca v Valencia Verdict

Mallorca have produced a solid run of results on home soil at their Visit Mallorca Estadi as the hosts have lost just once in their last 12 matches and failing to score just twice during this period, while Valencia have lost just one of their last six games overall in La Liga.
