Mallorca - Las Palmas predictions and free betting tips [11/05/2024]

On Saturday, 11 May, for the 35th round of the Spanish La Liga, "Mallorca" will host "Las Palmas" on its turf. The home side is currently in 17th place in the league table, six points ahead of trailing "Cadiz", while the "Islanders" are anchored in 14th place ensuring their stay in the top flight. 

Stadium

The clash is set to take place in Palma de Mallorca at the Mallorca's Son Moix stadium.

"Mallorca"

"Mallorca", currently 17th in the league and perilously close to the relegation zone after losing to "Atletico Madrid" with a 0:1 scoreline last weekend, is in a crisis, having lost three out of their last four games - following defeats from "Real Madrid" (0:1) and "Sevilla" (2:1). Rodrigo Riquelme scored the only goal at the fifth minute of the match, following which the yellow-and-orange team fruitlessly attempted to breach Jan Oblak's goal.

Moreover, Javier Aguirre's charges have been unable to claim a victory for five consecutive league matches (3 losses, 2 draws), yet still they maintain a six point lead over 18th-placed "Cadiz". It should be noted that the Islanders hold just 14th place in terms of points accumulated at home (22 in 17 home games, 14 goals scored, the same conceded). Club fans are surely concerned by the fact that their favourites have not scored more than a goal per game in their last 12 encounters across all competitions. 

"Las Palmas"

"Las Palmas", during the first half of the season looked very energetic and was even a contender for European spots, but gradually the team lost momentum and sank into the lower part of the league table (currently 14th). The Canary Islands side is in deep crisis and has suffered 7 consecutive losses, without tasting victory in their last ten rounds.

Last weekend, the yellow-and-blues could not pose a challenge against "Real Sociedad" (2:0) following a home defeat to "Girona" (0:2) and a heavy 4:1 loss in Galicia to survival battling "Celta" two weeks ago. Moreover, in these 7 defeats, "Las Palmas" has scored just once, conceding a total of 14 goals! It's important to note that "Las Palmas" occupies the 13th place in terms of points gathered away from home (15 in 17 away games, 13 goals scored, 26 conceded). 

Head-to-Head

The first round duel ended in a 1:1 draw. Moreover, three out of the last five head-to-head encounters also ended in marginal victories.

Match Prediction "Mallorca" vs "Las Palmas"

"Las Palmas", having already secured its place in the top flight, has dramatically slowed its tempo, enduring seven consecutive defeats this spring. "Mallorca", however, has not guaranteed its survival in the elite, but might do so in the next round with a victory. With the support of their home crowd, the yellow-and-oranges will have plenty of motivation to break their six-match winless streak, so a home field triumph is a worthy wager.

Total Goals Prediction

"Las Palmas" has scored just one goal in their 7-match losing streak, while "Mallorca" has conceded twice in the last four La Liga rounds. A safe bet would be a lack of a goal exchange in this match.

Corner Prediction

"Mallorca" has more motivation from a league point of view and is playing at home. The hosts should dominate in all key areas, including corners.

Yellow Card Prediction

Both teams accumulate, on average, more than two yellow cards per game, thus a wager on a total of more than 3.5 bookings is worth considering.

Score Prediction

A precise score of 1:0 in favour of "Mallorca" would be the wager.
