Given the low-scoring history between these teams and Mallorca’s solid defense, this match is shaping up to be a closely contested affair.

Prediction for Deportivo Alavés vs Mallorca
In this closely contested La Liga encounter, Deportivo Alavés will be desperate to halt their five-game losing streak as they host Mallorca at Estadio de Mendizorroza. Alavés have shown resilience at home, and with the anticipated return of Joan Jordan, they’ll hope to find some added stability. However, their defensive vulnerabilities have been evident, particularly in the latter stages of matches. Mallorca, currently in the upper half of the table, brings solid defensive organization and has been effective in frustrating opponents, as seen in their recent draw against Athletic Bilbao.
Given Alavés’ recent struggles and Mallorca’s defensive approach, this game leans toward a low-scoring affair. With Mallorca’s notable scoring times being post-halftime and Alavés more likely to find the net in the final minutes, the match could see both teams creating limited yet timely scoring opportunities.
Prediction: Mallorca could edge out a narrow victory, but the game may end in a 1-1 draw given both teams’ tendency to score in specific timeframes. Betting on under 2.5 goals appears valuable, aligning with the low-scoring nature of their recent matchups.
