Valencia Preview: Impressive form of the Valencians
On Christmas Eve, West Bromwich Albion boss Carlos Corberan took charge of Valencia and he has made them a lot better as one of the giants of Spanish football attempt to avoid their second ever relegation, finally clambering out of the bottom three ahead of the weekend.
Los Che most recently shared a 1-1 draw with Girona in their most recent outing in Catalonia a couple of weeks ago with Diego Lopez’ strike cancelled out by Cristhian Stuani. They have suffered just four defeats in their last 16 matches across all competitions.
Real Mallorca Preview: Europe beckons for Majorcans
In the summer, Javier Aguirre departed Real Mallorca to become the new Mexico boss and he was replaced by Osasuna manager Jago Arrasate with the intention to play a more proactive and attacking style of football – which has been the case to an extent.
They have still lacked goals but definitely do not go as direct as they used to. The Balearic Islanders begin the weekend sitting tucked inside the top seven with ten games to go, most recently defeating Espanyol by two goals to one at Son Moix a couple of weeks ago.

Valencia vs Real Mallorca Prediction
Those aforementioned four defeats in 16 matches for Valencia have come against Atletico Madrid, Barcelona and Real Madrid. The Valencians have been magnificent and they will be expected to make Mestalla a fortress in the run-in. They do face a Mallorca side that have varied the ways in which they can attack with tricky players supporting the belligerence of Vedat Muriqi up-front. Both teams scoring may well be a good bet for a game in which both sides have a fair bit to play in the remainder of the campaign.
