Alaves vs. Mallorca: Current situation
Alaves defeated Sevilla in the sixth matchday of the season for their third win of the year, and it seemed like this may be the season for “The Glorious One,” but the rest of the way was a free fall. Alaves is currently on a five-game winning streak in La Liga, and their form does not look promising at all. A win against Compostela in the Copa del Ray was just a breath of fresh air, and it is a huge question if they can transfer that to where it matters the most.
Mallorca is probably the best team in La Liga that no one really talks about. They are one small step behind the top teams in the league, and it seems like the visit to Vitoria-Gasteiz comes at the right time for them. Alaves’ game play fits them perfectly, as Mallorca loves to play patiently, and implementing that style is much easier against a slow-paced football. The team from the islands is in great form, and despite what the odds say, Mallorca is the favorite in this game.
Alaves Stats & Form
It is hard to find a worse team than Alaves currently in La Liga, as the team from the Basque Country has lost the last five games. That’s more than a month since their last win, and it is definitely not easy to bounce back without any momentum. The win against Compostela in the Copa del Ray does not mean anything since that team is not even close to the challenges La Liga brings. Kike Garcia and Toni Martinez lead the team with three foals each, and they need much bigger support from the younger players on the roster.
Mallorca Stats & Form
Mallorca has a promising season, currently sitting in seventh place in the standings. They are the lowest scoring team in the top half of the standings, and it is pretty impressive to win five games with only ten goals scored. Mallorca won 3 of the last 5 games in La Liga and are coming off a 0-0 against Athletic Bilbao, which was the second consecutive game to keep a clean sheet. Daniel Rodrigez and Valeri lead the team with two goals each.
Alaves – Mallorca: Head to Head
Mallorca has won 4, Alaves 3 and three of the last ten games between these two teams ended in a tie. Last season, both games ended without a winner. Mallorca won the previous three games, and Alaves’ last win was in September 2019. Nine of the last ten games between these two teams finished under 2.5 goals in total.
Alaves – Mallorca Odds
Given the odds at 22bet, Alaves is a slight favorite with 2.50 in their favor while Mallorca is given the odds of 3.14. If you want to bet on a tie, the odds are at sharpe3.00. The total goal line is set at 2 with 1.93 for over and 1.78 for under.

Betting tip and prediction: Alaves - Mallorca (01.11.2024)
Alaves is in a free fall in La Liga, and unless the team ends the losing streak anytime soon, head coach Luis Garcia will be on a hot seat. He took over the team in 2022 and is the one who brought them back from Segunda to the top tier of Spanish football, but the fans and the front office are running out of patience. Garcia will have a chance to stop the five-game losing streak against his former team Mallorca. The visitors from the island are in excellent form, winning three of their last five games, and if they add another three points on Friday, they may finish the week among the top 5 teams in the standings. The good news is that they have not lost to Alaves in five years, and only striker Takuma Asano is out with an injury. Alaves also has only a couple of guys unavailable—defenders Hugo Novoa Ramos and Aleksandar Sedlar. Alaves is struggling offensively failing to score in three of their last four games. Mallorca is a team that has allowed more than one goal only once in their last seven games. At the same time, Mallorca has not scored more than one goal in the last three games overall and the last nine against Alaves. Given that, this will be a tight game with both teams focusing on defensive tasks, so we go with under 2 goals in total.
