Valencia returns to action in La Liga on Thursday, as they look to record a third straight victory. Mallorca will be the hosts as they look to bounce back after suffering a defeat in their previous match in La Liga.
La Liga Preview
The La Liga action continues on Thursday, as two sides located in the middle of the standings lock horns. Valencia have already smoothly moved to safety in the Spanish top-flight, and they could move to within a victory of the top half of the standings this week. Valencia has recorded wins in each of their previous two matches in La Liga, and they have lost just once over their last five.
That return to form now sees them sit five points above the drop zone with three rounds of matches to play. However, their previous match in La Liga was clouded with controversy, as their home fans inexplicably shouted vile racist abuse at Vinicius Jr on Sunday. Valencia eventually held on to win 1-0, but the biggest story was the disgraceful actions of the fans.
Mallorca sit a place directly above Valencia in the current standings, and they could move up into the top half of the standings with victory on Thursday. They come into this match in poor recent form, as they have lost three of their last five. Meanwhile, they have picked up just a single win from their previous five matches in La Liga.
Their poor performance levels continued over the weekend, as they were easily brushed aside on the road by Almeria. The hosts landed a comfortable 3-0 win, with Mallorca managing just three shots on target.
Mallorca vs Valencia Head to Head
Mallorca has won two of their previous four clashes against Valencia, which includes a 2-1 win in the last match between the sides this season. They have also won two of their last three home matches against their rivals this week.
Mallorca vs Valencia Prediction
Mallorca’s performance levels have dropped since their survival has been assured, and that would be a concern coming into this fixture. Therefore, a chance will be taken on Valencia recording a third straight victory in the league.
