Mallorca
Mallorca have won one, drawn one and lost three of their last five LaLiga games.
Elche
Elche have won none, drawn two and lost three of their last five.
Head-to-Head
- Elche will look to take a giant step towards avoiding relegation with a win over Real Mallorca on Saturday, but this will be a tough matchup against a solid opponent with much to play for.
- The club from the Valencian Community sit 18th in LaLiga with 26 points from 28 games and are currently in the drop zone in a dogfight with Mallorca, who are two points above them in 16th with the same number of games played.
- In the last meeting of the clubs, three months ago, Mallorca won 3-1 at home in LaLiga, but Elche has never lost to Mallorca in a home LaLiga matchup before, so there is plenty to play for both clubs on Saturday.
Key Players
Mallorca’s striker Vedat Muriqi is their main goal threat with 18 goals in 27 LaLiga appearances and three of Mallorca’s last five goals, while forward Andre Silva has netted seven times in 22 appearances for Elche and is their top scorer with two of their last four goals in the past five games.
Betting Insights
Backing Elche to claim a win at 2.08 looks a strong play for this relegation six-pointer, but the odds for both teams to net at around 1.83 are not worth ignoring.
Prediction
We expect both teams to score in this one, given the recent output of both clubs’ attacks and the relative fragility of both teams’ defences in their respective home and away games.
