Spanish League: Alaves vs Mallorca

Match Preview

Deportivo Alaves and Mallorca will face off in a crucial La Liga match at the Estadio Mendizorroza on Saturday. Alaves, who are currently 17th in the standings, are in desperate need of a win to avoid relegation, while Mallorca, who are 12th, can boost their chances of a top-half finish with a victory.

Alaves have been in poor form lately, losing their last three matches. They have also struggled to score goals, with just one in their last five games. Mallorca, on the other hand, have been in better form, winning two of their last three matches. They have also been more prolific in front of goal, scoring seven in their last five games.

Key Players

Alaves will be looking to Joselu to lead their attack. The Spanish striker has scored nine goals in La Liga this season, and he will be keen to add to his tally against Mallorca.

Mallorca will be looking to Dani Rodriguez to provide the creative spark. The Spanish midfielder has been in excellent form this season, and he will be hoping to create chances for his teammates against Alaves.

Prediction

This is a tough match to call, but I think Mallorca will edge it. They have been in better form lately, and they have more quality in their team. Alaves will need to be at their best to get anything from this game.
