4837
There are two fixtures to be played in La Liga on the 25th of May beginning with the clash between Mallorca and Valencia.
The game will be played at Iberostar Estadi and the hosts begin the week in 12th place on 44 points while the visitors are one place lower on 40 points.
Mallorca come into the game having lost 3-0 at Almeria on the weekend. It was a disappointing result against a team battling against relegation and Almeria opened the scoring in the 12th minute of the match.
Mallorca conceded a second goal shortly before half time and were out of contention when Almeria scored their third goal in the 58th minute.
The loss at Almeria means Mallorca have recorded just a single victory from their 5 most recent fixtures, all of which have been in La Liga.
The win came at home against Cadiz but there have been defeats at Atletico Madrid, Girona, and Almeria. Mallorca picked up a point in a 1-1 draw at home with Athletic Club.
Despite poor recent form, Mallorca are tough to beat when playing at home and they are undefeated in 11 of their last 12 La Liga matches on home soil.
They have drawn 3 of their last 5 home league games and have seen under 2.5 goals scored in 14 of their last 16 home La Liga matches.
Valencia travel to the Iberostar Estadi on the back of a good 1-0 home win over Real Madrid in La Liga on the weekend.
The only goal of the game was scored in the 33rd minute and it was a huge win for Valencia as they attempt to move clear of the relegation zone.
The victory over Real Madrid means Valencia are undefeated in their 3 most recent La Liga fixtures and they have lost only 1 of their last 6 games.
There have been wins over Real Valladolid and Real Madrid at home plus Elche and Celta Vigo away. Valencia also picked up a point at home thanks to a 1-1 draw with Villarreal.
Away form has been poor and trends show Valencia have achieved just 3 wins in their last 20 away La Liga games. However, they have won 2 of their 3 most recent away league matches.
Team news and Mallorca are without defender Antonio Raíllo. They also have doubts over the fitness of Jaume Costa, Manu Morlanes, Inigo Ruiz de Galarreta, and Matija Nastasic.
Valencia have just one injury to contend with and Marcos de Sousa is out due to a meniscus injury.
We have become accustomed to seeing few goals when Mallorca play at home and we expect this match to end with under 2.5 goals.
Valencia have been showing signs of improvement recently and Mallorca are still a force to be reckoned with at home, so this game could end level.
