Mallorca – Alaves : Preview & Prediction
Mallorca, in 17th place and the first non-relegated side, are flirting dangerously with the relegation zone. The island club is only one point ahead of 17th-placed Cadiz CF, and a win over bottom-placed Alaves is therefore a must for Javier Aguirre’s troops. Russo’s team can be lucky to be above this zone as they have lost 8 of their last 9 league games. The recent victory over Atletico Madrid (1-0) on 9 April could not be confirmed at Elche, where Mallorca fell heavily (3-0). If Mallorca’s record is not good, Alaves’ is not much better. The last of the league has only won once in the last 8 games, it was this weekend against Rayo Vallecano (1-0) thanks to a goal from Joselu after the hour. The red lantern has taken only 1 point in its last 10 trips in the Spanish league, it was at Getafe (2-2) last February 26. Alaves have been beaten by Mallorca in their last two meetings and could find themselves 7 points behind their direct competitor for survival if they lose again with 5 games to go.
Mallorca are 17th and first non-relegated.
Alaves are bottom of La Liga.
Mallorca won the first leg 1-0.
Mallorca won 1-0 at home to Alaves last season.
Alaves have lost 5 of their last 6 games.
Mallorca should not miss this opportunity to move away from the relegation zone and breathe a little easier if they win.
