Final Prediction & Verdict
Everything points to another defeat for Real Valladolid in what has been a nightmare of a season. The visitors have shown very little fight, losing their last five games while conceding heavily. Offensively, they’ve been one of the worst sides in the league, and that makes it hard to see them getting on the scoresheet—even against a Mallorca side that’s not exactly firing on all cylinders.
Despite Mallorca’s struggles against stronger opposition, facing relegated Valladolid gives them a perfect opportunity to restore confidence. Expect a cautious match, where the hosts dominate possession and take safer chances. A narrow 1-0 or 2-0 win seems very likely, especially with the visitors showing little resilience in recent weeks.
Final Verdict: Back Mallorca to win to nil at odds of 2.20 for maximum value. Pair it with under 2.5 goals to maximize returns in this La Liga mismatch.
