Alaves vs Mallorca: survival scrap at Mendizorrotza 
Spain’s top flight throws up a huge six-pointer on Saturday. Alaves host Mallorca in a match that could shape both clubs’ season. They are scrapping to stay up, and there are only two points between them in the table. Expect nerves, noise and no shortage of tension. This is not one for the faint-hearted.
Alaves and their fight 
The coach has a squad that looks ready for a scrap. The home side come in off a narrow defeat to Real Madrid. Before that setback, the Basque club had been building decent momentum. Staying in the division is the only thing that matters now. Their home record gives them real hope. And they will be eager to settle the score with Mallorca.
Mallorca’s away-day problems 
The visitors have put together a run of positive results. Their draw with Valencia last time out will have done them a world of good. But away from home, the numbers still make grim reading. They are leaking too many goals on the road. A win here would all but seal survival. Mallorca’s staff are likely to set up very cautiously. The pressure is sitting heavily on the visitors’ shoulders.
Likely line-ups
Alaves : Sivera ; Tenaglia, Jonny, Parada ; Perez, Blanco, Ibanez, Rebbach ; Guridi ; Martinez, Boye
Mallorca : Roman ; Maffeo, Valjent, Mascarell, Mojica ; Darder, Costa, Morlanes ; Torre ; Muriqi, Virgili
Football prediction Alaves vs Mallorca
Alaves to win
Home advantage should tilt a tight contest. Mallorca’s poor form on the road makes life easier for the hosts in the final third.
The visiting back line is likely to buckle after sustained pressure. The home attackers should find more room after the break.
The scoreboard should, by the end, show a straightforward win for the favourites on Saturday.

First, a word on our picks
- What we publish on Mathodds is analysis, nothing more. We offer an opinion, a read on the current picture, but never a guarantee. Sport is what it is: unpredictable. A red card, an injury, a freak goal… and the script changes completely.
- Let’s be clear: there is no bet without risk. Even when something looks obvious, it never really is. And yes, that means you can lose. At some point, that’s inevitable.
- The best approach is to stay sensible. Bet small, set a budget and stick to it. Don’t touch money you need to live on. And above all, don’t chase losses. That usually ends badly.
- A bet should stay a game, not a job or a source of income. If you feel it is taking over your day-to-day life, winding you up or putting you under pressure, take a break. And if needed, speak to a specialist support service. That’s what they’re there for.
- In the end, the responsibility is yours. Reading our content means accepting that risk exists and will never disappear, even with the best analysis in the world.
- Important reminder: betting is illegal for minors and must follow the law in your country. Gambling can spiral fast, leading to money problems, family strain and addiction. Need Help? Call 1-800-GAMBLER. In the UK? Visit https://www.gambleaware.org/https://www.gambleaware.org/.
No commitment from us
Our picks are not a contract. They have no legal force. In plain English: you cannot use them to demand anything if a bet loses.
Information changes fast
A prediction is always based on what we know when it is written. But in the meantime, a team sheet can change, a player can get hurt, the weather can turn… and the analysis can quickly be out of date. We cannot be held responsible for that.
Your role
Before you bet, make sure gambling is legal where you live. If it is not, that’s your responsibility, not ours.
