Valladolid vs Mallorca Prediction 27 Sep 2024

⚽ LaLiga - Round 8 Preview

📅 27 Sep 2024

⏰ 20:00 GMT +1

🏟 Estadio José Zorrilla (Valladolid)

Valladolid head back home following a heart-wrenching 2-1 defeat against Sevilla in midweek. Their season has taken a downturn since their opening weekend win, with major struggles in front of goal. Having failed to score in four out of their seven matches so far, no other team in La Liga has netted fewer goals this season. Defensively, things are equally concerning, as Valladolid have conceded 15 goals, the highest in the league after their latest loss. However, they can find solace in their home form, remaining unbeaten in their last five La Liga matches at the Estadio José Zorrilla, marking their longest such streak since November 2019.

Their opponents, Mallorca, arrive on the back of two consecutive La Liga wins, a first since April 2023. They impressed by defeating two of last season’s top seven teams, Real Sociedad (1-0) and Real Betis (2-1). Manager Jagoba Arrasate, who joined in the summer, has praised his side’s hard work and resilience. Mallorca’s defensive solidity has been a key factor, conceding more than one goal only once in their last ten La Liga away matches (W3, D4, L3). Having lost just once in their last six away games, they have accumulated 11 points in six games, marking their joint-best start since 2009/10.
