NOBARTV NEWS Majorca vs. Valencia – Mallorca will host Valencia at the Estadio Iberoamericano 2010 in a La Liga Gameweek 15 match on Saturday, November 30, 2024. Kick-off will be at 03.00:3 WIB. This match is important for both teams, with Mallorca looking to maintain their positive momentum after winning 2-XNUMX over Las Palmas, while Valencia are looking to climb out of the bottom zone of the standings after winning two in a row.
Mallorca
Mallorca, who are eighth in La Liga, are fresh from a dramatic 3-2 win over Las Palmas in their last match. Johan Mojica was the hero, scoring the winner in the 91st minute, ending a match that was almost a draw after Las Palmas equalized at 2-2. The win was a big one for Mallorca, who had previously suffered two consecutive defeats to Alaves and Atletico Madrid. They currently have a total of 21 points from 14 games with a record of six wins, three draws and five losses. Although their home form is not as good as their away form, Mallorca are still expected to overcome Valencia who have also struggled away from home.
Valencia
Valencia have been in less than ideal form this season, picking up just 10 points from 12 games with two wins, four draws and six losses. They sit 18th in La Liga and are struggling to avoid the relegation zone. However, a 4-2 win over Real Betis in their last match brought fresh air for Los Che. In that match, Hugo Duro scored twice, while Cesar Tarrega and Diego Lopez also contributed goals. In addition, Valencia also managed to advance to the second round of the Copa del Rey with a 1-0 win over Parla Escuela. However, they still have a big challenge to get out of the relegation zone and return to winning ways in La Liga.
Mallorca vs. Valencia: Head-to-head record
Head-to-head, Mallorca are unbeaten in their last meetings with Valencia in La Liga since February 2022. The two matches between the two teams last season ended in 1-1 draws.
Despite Valencia's poor away record this season, they will be looking to pick up at least a point at Mallorca's home. However, Mallorca are also unbeaten against the visitors in the last two seasons, which will give Jagoba Arrasate's side more confidence.
Mallorca vs. Valencia: Team News & Predicted Lineups
Mallorca will be without Vedat Muriqi, who received a red card against Las Palmas. In addition, several other players are also absent due to injury, namely Abdon Prats, Pablo Maffeo, Toni Lato, Ivan Cuellar, and Takuma Asano. Cyle Larin, who missed the last match, is likely to return if he is fit. In midfield, Dani Rodriguez is predicted to continue operating in the attacking area alongside Larin. Antonio Sanchez and Omar Mascarell are likely to remain on the bench, unless there is a change in strategy from Arrasate.
Valencia, on the other hand, will be without several key players, namely Maximiliano Caufriez, Ruben Iranzo, Thierry Correia, Rafa Mir and Mouctar Diakhaby, who are all out with injuries. Coach Ruben Baraja is expected to stick with the line-up that won the win over Real Betis, with Hugo Duro once again trusted as the spearhead. The only major changes to the team composition are likely to come in a few positions, with Yarek Gasiorowski potentially the only player to retain his place from the Copa del Rey clash against Parla Escuela.
