Mallorca vs Alaves Prediction 2 March 2025
🔊 Will Eduardo Coudet find weaknesses in the tactical model of the “islanders”? Mallorca and Alaves will face off on the pitch of “Iberostar” in the next round of La Liga. While the “vermillion” continue to fight for the right to represent their country on the international stage, the “bean destroyers” are making every effort to avoid relegation to Segunda. Let's take note of the balance of power according to the bookmakers' predictions: a win for Mallorca - 2.25, a victory for Alaves - 3.6.
Head-to-Head
In the last three head-to-head matches, Alaves has not lost to Mallorca. In the first half of the current La Liga season, the "Glorious" even defeated the "Cinnabar" at "Mendizorrotza" (1:0). However, the "Bean Destroyers" have never achieved an away victory over the "Islanders" in the history of the elite Spanish division. The only success for the team from Vitoria-Gasteiz in Palma de Mallorca dates back to the 1974/75 Segunda season.
Head-to-head statistics Mallorca - Alaves
RCD Mallorca Team Overview
Jagoba Arrasate is working productively in Mallorca, fighting for European competitions in his first year at the helm of the team. It is worth noting that the "vermilion" perform quite well in away matches - 16 points after 12 games (7th result in the league). In a recent match against Sevilla, the "islanders" employed a 5-3-2 tactical formation. Stretching the zones by the wide central defenders provided more freedom of action for the wing-backs. This maneuver largely worked: creating a numerical advantage in certain areas regularly led to sharp moments near the opponent's goal. One of the most significant players for Mallorca is Johan Mojica, who performs a large volume of running work on the left flank. However, an accumulation of yellow cards requires the Colombian defender to miss the upcoming match. Besides him, Manu Morlanes continues to recover from an injury.

Deportivo Alaves Team Overview
Alaves remains one of the main contenders for relegation. Currently, the "Glorious" are positioned in the particularly dangerous zone of the standings, which is not satisfactory for the coaching staff. With the arrival of Eduardo Coudet, it is difficult to track specific game progress for the "Bean Destroyers." Let's focus on the fundamental aspects of the Argentine specialist: using the tactical formation 4-1-4-1 opens up many opportunities for adjustments and provides a considerable number of transformation options - to 4-4-2, 4-2-3-1. In addition, the team from Vitoria-Gasteiz tries to exploit the weaknesses of their opponent, regularly employing sharp counterattacks. Thomas Konechny, Hugo Novoa-Ramos, and Carlos Protesoni continue to be in the team's infirmary. The absolute leader remains 35-year-old Kike Garcia, who has already scored 10 goals this season.

⚽️ GOAL PREDICTION
In 4 of the last 5 matches involving Mallorca, there were no more than two shots on goal. A similar trend is observed for Alaves over the same stretch of games. Moreover, the head-to-head encounters between these teams are traditionally characterized by very cautious football from both sides and a high degree of risk aversion. Finally, in 9 out of the last 10 previous meetings between the "islanders" and the "glorious," there were a maximum of 2 goals scored. Our choice is total under 2.5 goals.
🚩 CORNER KICK PREDICTION
We focus on the ratio of corners earned and conceded by the teams this season. The "islanders" cannot boast a positive trend in this component of the game, with 4.1 against 5.6. However, the "glorious" show the opposite situation: 4.5 against 4.3. Considering the above statistical facts, we suggest the following betting option - victory for Alaves with a handicap (+1.5).
Editorial Prediction
The meeting of two teams that prefer to play on the counterattack is unlikely to be filled with goals. We note the rather modest average scoring of the teams this season: the "islanders" - 1 goal per game, the "brave ones" - 1.1. Moreover, head-to-head encounters between Mallorca and Alaves are traditionally marked by a high degree of caution and a minimal number of goals scored. A final score of 1:1 is quite realistic. The key bet is total under 2.5 goals.
