The past weekend had a bittersweet taste for “Mallorca” as they suffered their biggest defeat of the season, losing 0-3 to “Almeria” and extending their run to only one victory in five La Liga matches. However, it’s not all doom and gloom, as “Valladolid” delivered an even more barren performance and is facing relegation, while “Mallorca” finally secured their well-deserved mathematical safety. The “Pirates” are returning home, where they have lost only once in their last 12 matches, which has determined the fate of this season for the islanders. Today, Ruiz de Galarreta, Raillo, Morlanes, Costa, Nastic, and Augustinsson will be unable to play due to an ankle injury.
The team that is not quite enjoying safety yet is the opponent, “Valencia,” although they seem to be on their way, avoiding defeats in five out of their last six matches. The latest of these was a statement victory when they defeated “Real” Madrid 1-0, reaching the widely publicized 40-point mark. Unfortunately, the match was marred by racist insults towards a player from the capital. Ruben Baraja’s team could consider this as a job well done, as this points tally would have been sufficient for safety in each of the last ten seasons. Today, Musah, Marcos Andre, and Komert will be unable to play due to suspension. More today football predictions from the experts can be obtained from the link provided.
