Mallorca take on the visitors Valencia in the round 36 match of Spanish LaLiga. The match will be played on Thursday, May 24th at Visit Mallorca Estadi (Palma de Mallorca).
Mallorca have had a very decent season and is already 99% certain to remain in La Liga. To achieve this, they only need to secure one point in their remaining three matches, assuming that Valladolid, Getafe, and Espanyol all win their respective matches at the end. I think everyone understands that this scenario is highly unlikely, so Javier Aguirre has accomplished his task of keeping Mallorca in the Spanish football elite for at least one more season. However, that doesn't mean that the "islanders" will be complacent in their home matches. They have earned 29 out of their total 44 points at home and have been unbeaten on their own turf for a long time. I believe they will also take points from Valencia in this round.

The "Bats" have finally pulled themselves together towards the end of the championship, securing two consecutive victories and distancing themselves from their rivals in the relegation battle by five points. Yes, it doesn't guarantee their survival in La Liga, but it has significantly increased their chances, and if things go well, they can breathe a sigh of relief after their visit to Mallorca. Essentially, even a draw would be a decent result for Valencia. In any case, it won't be easy for Ruben Baraja's team to secure a victory. Mallorca has been strong at home throughout the season, while Valencia has only managed three wins in 17 away matches in La Liga.
My choice for this match is 1X - the hosts will not lose. The last time Mallorca suffered a defeat at home in La Liga was in early March, over two months ago. Since then, they have secured two victories (against Getafe 3-1 and Cadiz 1-0) and played three draws (against Osasuna, Real Sociedad, and Athletic Bilbao). Playing away from home is Valencia's weakest point. They rarely achieve victories on the road and their away points tally puts them among the five worst teams in the league. In the first round, Mallorca even defeated Valencia at the Mestalla (2-1). I believe that under Javier Aguirre's guidance, Mallorca will at least secure a draw on their home turf.
Prediction for the match: Mallorca not to lose (1X).
