Real Mallorca and Alaves will lock horns with each other in La Liga this weekend. The match between Jagoba Arrasate’s side and Eduardo Coudet’s team will be held at Estadi Mallorca Son Moix and is scheduled to kick off at 5:30pm UK time on Sunday.

Real Mallorca

Real Mallorca are a modest club in Spain who are happy to be just part of the 20 elite teams in the country. Los Piratas ended up 15th in the La Liga table last season and will be more than happy to finish in a similar position this time around.

Jagoba Arrasate’s side are eighth in the La Liga table at the moment with 35 points from 25 matches. Mallorca are doing much better than expected and could finish in the top six and claim a spot in a major European place next season.

Mallorca will head into the La Liga match against Alaves on the back of a 1-1 draw with Sevilla away from home in the league. It came after a 3-1 victory over Las Palmas at Estadi Mallorca Son Moix in La Liga which followed a 1-1 draw with Osasuna in front of their fans in the league.

Team News:

Real Mallorca are likely to line up in a 5-4-1 formation against Alaves. Dominik Greif will be in goal for the home team. Pablo Maffeo, Martin Valjent, Antonio Raillo, Copete and Johan Mojica will be the five defenders. Takuma Asano, Omar Mascarell, Sergi Darder and Dani Rodriguez will be the four midfielders. Vedar Muriqi will lead the line for Mallorca.

Alaves

Alves are a modest club in Spain who are happy to be just part of the 20 elite teams in the country. El Glorioso ended up 10th in the La Liga table last season and will be more than happy to finish in a similar position this time around.

However, Alaves are in dire state at the moment and could end up getting relegated to the Segunda Divison at the end of the season. Eduardo Coudet’s side are second from bottom in the La Liga table with 22 points from 25 matches and are just a point behind 17th-placed Las Palmas.

Alaves will head into the La Liga match against Real Mallorca on the back of a 1-0 defeat to Espanyol at home in the league. It came after a 3-3 draw with Leganes on the road in La Liga which came after a 1-0 loss to Getafe at the Mendizorrotza Stadium in the league.

Team News:

Alaves are likely to line up in a 4-4-2 formation against Real Mallorca. Antonio Sivera will be in goal for the visiting team. Nahuel Tenaglia, Abdel Abqar, Santiago Mourino and Moussa Diarra will be the four defenders. Carlos Vicente, Antonio Bianco, Joan Jordan and Carles Alena will be the four midfielders. Toni Martinez and Enrique Garcia will be the two centre-forwards for Alaves.
