Mallorca vs Alaves Prediction and Betting Tips

The action continues in round seven of the Spanish La Liga as Mallorca play host to Alaves on Saturday. El Glorioso have failed to win their last 12 visits to the Estadi Mallorca Son Moix and will be keen to end this poor run.

Mallorca were left empty-handed yet again in La Liga as they fell to a 1-0 defeat against Real Sociedad when the two teams met at Reale Arena on Wednesday.

Jagoba Arrasate’s side have failed to taste victory in their six matches to start the new league campaign, losing four and claiming two draws to sit 19th in the table, level on two points with rock-bottom Girona.

Mallorca’s last La Liga victory dates back to May 10, when they fought back from behind to edge out Real Valladolid 2-1 at the Estadi Mallorca Son Moix.

Elsewhere, Spanish midfielder Ander Guevara came up clutch for Alaves as he netted in the 71st minute to help them record a 1-1 draw against Getafe on Wednesday.

El Glorioso have now picked up two wins and two draws from their six league games so far to collect eight points and sit 10th in the table, level on points with 11th-placed Valencia.

While Alaves could surge into fourth place with a win on Saturday, they have failed to win their last 12 visits to the Estadi Son Moix, losing eight and claiming five draws since April 2000.
