Since returning to La Liga in the 2021/22 season, Mallorca moved between the mid and lower part of the league's table. Last year, they won just 40 points and finished 15th, but since the bottom three teams were terrible, the popular Pirates survived pretty easily. This season, they are doing much better as they are in 8th place with 21 points in 14 matches - 1.5 per game. That is 0.33 ppg better than last year. Right now, they are just one point away from 6th place and European Qualifiers.
Valencia's results have constantly declined over the years. From a team that battled for the Champions League six or seven years ago, "the Bats" became a relegation contender. They are in 18th place in La Liga with just ten points in 12 matches. Still, they are just two points away from the safe zone and have played two games fewer than most of the league. Since they will mostly face mid-table teams in the upcoming matches, they could move into the safe zone.
Mallorca vs Valencia pick: Under 2.5 goals
Mallorca are one of the best teams in the league for this type of bet, as 64% of their league games finished with fewer than three goals (9 out of 14). Recently, they had problems scoring, failing to do so in three out of the last four matches. And now, they will miss their key striker, Vedat Muriqi, due to suspension, and that surely will not help.
Valencia's only win away from home this season was in the Cup against CP Parla. They generally struggle away from home as they only managed to score twice in La Liga, which is the least in the league. So, we do not expect a good offensive display against a good defensive team like Mallorca.
In the previous five h2h games, we saw fewer than three goals on four occasions. Considering the previous h2h games and all the above, we believe that an under 2.5 goals bet is the safest option for this La Liga tie.

Mallorca team news
In the previous game against Las Palmas, striker Veday Muriqi received a straight red card due to unsportsmanlike conduct. He is a crucial part, especially with Cyle Larin injured.
Additionally, in the previous game, Antonio Raillo suffered an injury and had to leave the field in the 71st minute. He is questionable at the moment.
Besides those whom we mentioned, Takuma Asano, Ivan Cuellar, Toni Lato, Pablo Maffeo, and Abdon Prats, who missed the previous game(s) with injuries, should also remain sidelined.
