The 2025-26 edition of La Liga is back in action with another set of matches this week as Valencia lock horns with Mallorca in an important encounter at the Estadio de Mestalla on Friday. Both teams can pack a punch on their day and will want to win this game.
Valencia vs Mallorca Preview
Mallorca are in 14th place in the La Liga standings and have not been at their best this season. The away side slumped to a shock 1-0 defeat at the hands of Deportivo La Coruna in the Copa del Rey this week and will need to work hard to bounce back in this fixture.
Valencia, on the other hand, are in 17th place in the league table and have struggled to make an impact this season. Los Che eased past Sporting Gijon by a 2-0 margin in the Copa del Rey in their previous game and will look to achieve a similar result this week.
Valencia vs Mallorca Head-to-Head and Key Numbers
- Valencia have a good recent record against Mallorca and have won 17 out of the last 38 matches played between the two teams, as opposed to Mallorca's 11 victories.
