The 2021-22 edition of La Liga is back in action with another set of matches this weekend as Valencia lock horns with Mallorca on Saturday. Both teams have been inconsistent this season and will want to win this game.
Mallorca are in 13th place in the La Liga standings and have been fairly impressive this season. The away side suffered a 1-0 defeat against Real Sociedad last week and will need to bounce back in this match.
Valencia, on the other hand, are in 10th place in the league table at the moment and are yet to hit their stride this year. Los Che suffered a 3-1 defeat against Barcelona in their previous game and have a point to prove this weekend.
Valencia vs Mallorca Head-to-Head
Valencia have a good record against Mallorca and have won 15 out of 30 matches played between the two teams. Mallorca have managed eight victories against Valencia and will need to step up on Saturday.
The previous meeting between the two teams took place in January last year and ended in a shock 4-1 victory for Mallorca. Valencia were poor on the day and have a point to prove this weekend.
