Valencia – Mallorca: a tense clash to escape the drop 
Valencia and Mallorca meet Friday night at Mestalla with both sides in a fragile spot. Stuck in the midtable mess and only a whisker above relegation, both clubs know a win would change the picture before the break.
Valencia: Mestalla the last line 
Valencia’s season is far from reassuring. Just three wins in 16 games — Los Che are flirting with the relegation zone. The core issue is a blunt attack, a tiny goals tally, and a defence that keeps getting exposed.
Last weekend’s loss at Atlético Madrid ended a brief positive run, but it didn’t kill the momentum completely. During the week Valencia reacted in the Copa del Rey by beating Sporting Gijón — a clean, no-fuss win that bought the squad a bit of confidence.
At home the record looks acceptable given their position. Mestalla still pushes and Valencia have grabbed most of their points there this season. In a game that could be shut down, that home solidity might decide it.
Mallorca: fragile away from home 
Mallorca are having a hit-and-miss season with no real continuity. Despite a recent league win over Elche, Jagoba Arrasate’s side can’t string results together. Their Copa del Rey exit to Deportivo La Coruña left a mark, especially mentally.
The biggest weakness for the Balearics is their away form. The numbers don’t lie: very few points on the road and a team that often struggles when forced to sit back. Even when Mallorca keep the ball, control evaporates quickly under pressure.
Facing a direct rival in the survival fight the stakes are obvious, but recent history doesn’t help. Mallorca haven’t won at Mestalla for years and can lack cutting edge in tight encounters.
Likely lineups
Valencia: Agirrezabala, Foulquier, Tarrega, Copete, Vazquez, Correia, Ugrinic, Pepelu, Almeida, Lopez, Duro
Mallorca: Roman, Maffeo, Valjent, Raillo, Mojica, Aguado, Samu, Joseph, Darder, Virgili, Muriqi
Key takeaways
- Valencia are under huge pressure — level on points with the team in the first relegation spot.
- Mallorca are awful on the road, taking very few points away from home.
- Both teams don’t score much, so expect a tight, low-scoring affair.
- Mestalla remains a real asset for Los Che in straight fights like this.
Football Prediction Valencia vs Mallorca
Valencia to win
In a game that should be chopped and tense, Valencia look slightly better equipped thanks to home advantage. Mallorca bring few guarantees on the road, and in tight matches a tiny detail decides it. Los Che have a real chance to get some breathing room in the table.
First — a word on our predictions
- What we publish on Mathodds are analyses, nothing more. We offer an opinion, a snapshot read of the moment, never a guarantee. Sport is what it is: unpredictable. A red card, an injury, a freak goal… and the script flips.
- Let’s be clear: there is no risk-free bet. Even when something looks “obvious”, it rarely is. And yes, that means you can lose. It’s inevitable at some point.
- Best plan: be sensible. Bet small, set a budget and stick to it. Don’t touch money you need to live on. And don’t chase losses — it almost never ends well.
- Betting should stay a game, not a job or a source of income. If it takes over your life, annoys you or puts you under pressure, step away. If needed, contact a specialist organisation. That’s what they’re for.
- Ultimately, responsibility is yours. Reading our content means accepting the risk exists and won’t disappear, even with the best analysis in the world.
- Essential reminder: betting is forbidden to minors and must comply with your country’s laws. Gambling can spiral (money losses, family tensions, addiction). Need Help? Call 1-800-GAMBLER. In the UK? Visit https://www.gambleaware.org/https://www.gambleaware.org/.
No commitment from us
Our predictions are not a contract. They carry no legal weight. Plainly: you can’t rely on them to claim anything if a bet fails.
Info that changes
A prediction is based on what we know when we write it. But later a team sheet can change (Valencia’s, for example), a player gets injured, the weather turns… and the analysis becomes outdated. We can’t be held responsible for that.
