Match preview

Mallorca head into this clash with growing confidence, looking like a side that has rediscovered its identity at a crucial stage of the season. Since Martín Demichelis took charge, results have noticeably improved, with three wins from their last five matches. Their most recent outing was particularly convincing, a 3-0 victory over Rayo Vallecano that highlighted their renewed sharpness and balance.

At home, Mallorca are especially difficult to deal with. The Iberostar Stadium has become a stronghold where they play with intensity and physicality, often overwhelming opponents through aggressive pressing and direct play. Notable home wins over Athletic Club (3-2) and Real Madrid (2-1) underline their potential, while Vedat Muriqi remains a constant aerial threat capable of deciding games with minimal chances.

Valencia, in contrast, arrive under heavy pressure, with every match feeling like part of a relegation battle. Their recent form has been poor, losing three of their last four matches — against Oviedo (0-1), Celta (2-3), and Elche (0-1), with only a 2-0 win over Sevilla offering brief relief.

Defensive instability is their biggest concern, especially with several key absences, including Hugo Duro, Unai Núñez, and their first-choice goalkeeper. This lack of stability is particularly worrying against a Mallorca side that excels in aerial duels and set-piece situations. As a result, Valencia face a tough challenge simply to stay competitive throughout the 90 minutes.
