Latest Mallorca vs Alaves football review
Mallorca have a record of 10 wins, 5 draws and 10 losses after 25 rounds in La Liga this season, with a total of 35 points, equal to the sixth-placed team Rayo Vallecano.
Jagoba Arrasate's side are in contention for a European place at this crucial stage of the season, but they are only five points ahead of 14th-placed Getafe, meaning their position could change quickly.
Mallorca have picked up 19 points from 13 home games in La Liga this season and will host an Alaves side with just nine points from 13 away games in the 2024-25 campaign.
Los Piratas lost 1-0 to Alaves in the first leg this season, but the two sides drew 0-0 when they faced each other in the same fixture in the 2023-24 campaign.
Mallorca have finished 16th, 9th and 15th in the last three La Liga campaigns. They have not finished in the top six since finishing fifth in 2009-10, so this final stretch of the season is crucial for the club.
As for Alaves, the Basque side finished 10th in La Liga last season, but they have been unable to maintain that form this season and are currently 19th in the table.
Coach Eduardo Coudet's team just suffered a 0-1 defeat to Espanyol in the last round, extending their winless streak in La Liga to 5 matches, including 3 losses.
Alaves have only managed one win in La Liga since the start of November, but they still have a chance of staying up as they are just one point behind 17th-placed Las Palmas.
El Glorioso have lost three of their last four La Liga games and have won just two away games since the start of the season, while suffering eight defeats.
Alaves have only played one season outside La Liga since 2016, so relegation this season would be a huge surprise. However, they are still in the relegation zone and are in danger of being relegated to the Segunda Division.
