How the results stack up for Mallorca and Alavés
Mallorca has faced quality opponents from the top tier, yet the outcomes trend toward draws. At Son Moix, five of six matches ended level, with the lone exception a 0-1 loss to Villarreal on the second matchday. The next opportunity to secure points comes for Deportivo Alavés. While Mallorca still seeks its first home win, Alavés has not tasted defeat away from home this season, recording five defeats and two draws on the road. Recent visits to Montjuïc and the Civitas Metropolitano both finished 2-1, while a 1-1 result at La Cerámica and another 1-1 at Balaídos hint at the possibility of returning to a draw in this fixture.
Limited goal activity expected
Both clubs sit among La Liga’s lower-scoring teams, with averages that lag behind the league norm. That suggests a cautious, low-scoring affair on game day. Their struggle to threaten the opponent’s goal is mirrored in their corner statistics, placing them in the top tier for fewest corners per match, with Mallorca averaging around 8.7 and Alavés about 8.1 per game. Vedat Muriqi remains sidelined due to a calf issue for a third consecutive match, while Javier Aguirre must cope without Dani Rodríguez in attack due to a suspension. Additional doubts surround Pablo Maffeo and Antonio Raíllo after injuries in the midweek draw with Cádiz, with manager Luis García needing to adapt. Giuliano Simeone and Aleksandar Sedlar are the confirmed absentees for the squad as the season progresses toward the critical stage.
