Match Analysis

Mallorca has shown resilience in their recent performances, securing a win and two draws in their last three matches. They managed to draw against Sevilla away and Osasuna at home, while securing a confident 3-1 victory over Las Palmas at home. Despite these positive results, Mallorca's defense has been shaky, as evidenced by their average of 1.8 goals conceded in the last five games. Offensively, they have been modest, with an average of 1.4 goals scored per match and no clean sheets in sight. Alaves, on the other hand, has been struggling, with their recent performances highlighting their defensive vulnerabilities. They suffered narrow losses against Espanol and Getafe, both at home, and managed a high-scoring draw against Leganes away. Alaves has shown some attacking promise with an average of 2.0 goals per game in their last five matches, but their defense remains a concern, conceding an average of 1.8 goals per match. Their expected goals metrics suggest a slightly underperforming attack and a leaky defense, with no clean sheets recorded recently.

Final Prediction

Mallorca's slight edge in the prediction can be attributed to their recent solid performances and their higher league standing. Their home advantage may also play a crucial role in tipping the scales in their favor. A key factor to watch during the game will be the defensive capabilities of both teams, as defensive lapses could be the deciding factor in what is expected to be a closely contested match.
