Mallorca vs Las Palmas Prediction 16 February 2025
🔊 Which team will manage to break their long winless streak? One of the highlights of the 24th round of the Spanish La Liga is the clash between Mallorca and Las Palmas at the “Iberostar”. The teams have not yet won in 2025, which only adds intrigue to the upcoming head-to-head meeting between the "Cinnabar" and the "Palms". The name of the main referee is no longer a secret: it will be Miguel Ángel Ortiz. The bookmakers' odds are as follows: home win - 1.72, away victory - 5.4. Our editorial team has prepared an informative prediction that takes into account a number of current trends and statistical factors.
Head-to-Head
Within the elite Spanish division, the teams have met 15 times. Let's take a look at the outcome statistics: 7 victories for the "Cinnabar", 3 draws, and 5 victories for the "Yellows". In the first round of the current championship, Mallorca proved stronger in a fantastically intense clash - 3:2. For the past 4 head-to-head meetings, the "Islanders" have not lost to the "Palms".
Head-to-head statistics Mallorca - Las Palmas
Mallorca Team Overview
The last time Jagoba Arrasate and company celebrated success was on December 21 of last year - in a match against Getafe (1:0). The team's unenviable series has impacted their rapid decline in the league standings. We should already be accustomed to Arrasate's teams being known for their effectiveness in playing without the ball, as well as their defensive actions in the mid-block. The Spanish specialist's favorite formation is 4-4-2. However, opponents often force the "islanders" to switch to an even more compact 5-3-2. This is necessary for better width protection and to prevent flank isolations by opponents. Mallorca is not particularly known for their attacking ideas, but they generally try to maintain pressing intensity. One of the club's key figures is Vedat Muriqi. The 30-year-old forward is capable of playing well with his back to the opponent's goal and providing significant help in matches against aggressively pressing teams. Manu Morlanes remains in the "cinabar" infirmary.

Las Palmas Team Overview
In the upcoming round of the Spanish Primera, Las Palmas will not be able to rely on several key players from their roster. Among them are: Fabio Silva, Kirian Rodriguez, Adnan Januzaj, Marc Cardona (all due to injuries), and Sandro Ramirez (suspension). It is still unclear what resources Diego Martinez will use to lead the team to success this coming Sunday. Currently, the "palms" are only 1 point away from the relegation zone. We note the unacceptably high number of goals conceded by the "yellows" in the current La Liga season - approximately 1.65 per game (19th in the league). Nevertheless, the arrival of the Spanish specialist at Las Palmas is still considered a success for the club. Martinez has a recognizable tactical style, somewhat similar to Arrasate's ideas: defense with a mid-block using compact formations (4-4-2 or 4-5-1), active pressing from attacking players, and a focus on overcrowding the midfield. Interestingly, on the Canary Islands, the young coach sometimes resorts to a more open 4-2-3-1 formation. However, given the large number of injuries, it is hard to believe that the "palms" will prefer a spectacular attacking game over reliable defensive actions.
Match Results: Las Palmas
⚽️ GOAL PREDICTION
In our opinion, the upcoming clash will be characterized by a lot of battles and aerial duels. Both clubs often play quite directly, resulting in extremely vertical football. It is quite possible that the struggle for initiative will lead to the ball being in the middle of the field for most of the match. In 4 out of the last 5 head-to-head meetings between Mallorca and Las Palmas, there were no more than two goals scored. Our choice is total under 2.5 goals.
🚩 CORNER PREDICTION
Let's note: in 4 out of the last 5 head-to-head matches between the teams, there were no more than 10 corner kicks. Interestingly, a similar trend characterizes 5 out of 7 previous encounters involving Las Palmas this season. The teams' focus on vertical football and strict compactness in defense is unlikely to contribute to a high number of corners. We opt for total corners under 9.5.
Editorial Prediction
First and foremost, we are in for a very intriguing coaching rivalry. Paying attention to tactical aspects, the stylistic models of the clubs are quite similar. Most likely, we will witness a battle for initiative for some time. As noted above, the head-to-head encounters between Mallorca and Las Palmas are characterized by a "low-scoring" nature. Our prediction for the final score is 0:0. The key bet is on a total of fewer than 2.5 goals.
