Comments and predictions for Alaves vs Mallorca: Valuable victory

Alaves will look to end a five-game losing streak in La Liga when they host Mallorca on Friday evening.

Latest Alaves vs Mallorca team information

Alaves will again be without Hugo Novoa on Friday through injury, but Aleksandar Sedlar returned to the bench in the Copa del Rey last time out.

There will be changes to the starting line-up from the match against Compostela, with Toni Martinez, Carlos Martin, Jon Guridi and Manu Sanchez among those set to return to the starting line-up.

Antonio Sivera will also return to goal, but Kike Garcia could be forced to settle for a place on the bench again, with Martinez expected to be picked in central midfield.

For Mallorca, Ivan Cuellar and Takuma Asano will miss the match through injury, while Samu Costa is suspended following the red card he received in the previous match against Athletic.

Cyle Larin is also a major doubt, having been forced off in the first half against Athletic, so Abdon Prats could be brought in to play in the attacking areas.

Omar Mascarell is expected to benefit from Costa's absence, while Robert Navarro and Sergi Darder should retain their places on the flanks for the clash with Alaves.

Latest Alaves vs Mallorca football prediction

Alaves will come into this game on the back of a win, having beaten Compostela 1-0 in the Copa del Rey on Tuesday night, with a Kike Vidal own goal in the 12th minute deciding the outcome.

However, it was not a convincing performance from Luis Garcia's side against fourth-tier opposition, and their attention will now turn back to La Liga, as the Basque side attempt to end a five-game losing streak in the Spanish top flight.

The Blues have not won a La Liga game since September 20, having lost to Real Madrid, Getafe, Barcelona, ​​Real Valladolid and Rayo Vallecano in their last five games, leaving them 16th in the table with 10 points.

Alaves are just one point above Las Palmas in 18th place, while they have conceded 19 times in the league this season, which is the third worst defensive record alongside Villarreal, Las Palmas and Espanyol.

The Basque side have not beaten Mallorca in La Liga since September 2019, but both matches between the sides in the 2023-24 season ended in draws, including a 1-1 draw in the corresponding fixture.

As for Mallorca, a record of five wins, three draws and three losses from 11 games has given them 18 points, enough to sit seventh in the table ahead of the next round of fixtures in the Spanish top flight.

Jagoba Arrasate's side are just three points behind Villarreal in third, while they have one of the strongest defences in the league this season, conceding just eight times, with only Atletico Madrid (seven) conceding fewer.

Pirates finished a disappointing 15th last season, but the team are certainly capable of pushing for a top 10 finish this season, while European football cannot be ruled out if they can find their feet scoring goals on a regular basis.

Mallorca suffered a surprise 2-1 defeat to Espanyol at the start of October, but they have picked up four points from their last two games, beating Rayo Vallecano 1-0 before drawing 0-0 with Athletic Bilbao last time out.

Arrasate's side have won three of their last four away games in the Spanish top flight, and they will be favourites heading into Friday's game against an out-of-form Alaves.
