Valencia vs Mallorca Prediction 19 December 2025

Valencia take on the visitors Mallorca in the round 17 match of Spanish LaLiga. The match will be played on Friday, December 19^th at Estadio de Mestalla (Valencia).

Valencia are trying to avoid an all too familiar scenario. The Bats are traditionally perceived as an ambitious and successful project. However, under Peter Lim they have more often been forced to fight not for European places, but for survival. In order to avoid dropping into the Segunda, they frequently change coaches during the season. The same happened a year ago, when Baraja, the savior of 2023/2024, was dismissed, leaving the team at the bottom. With Corberan, who arrived from England, they managed to climb up to 12th place. He clearly did not want to repeat the mistakes of his predecessors, but after a good start, the team still went through a fairly long slump in the autumn. At a very timely moment, Levante appeared, whom Valencia managed to beat, and against stronger opponents they at least picked up draws, while also defeating Cartagena in the cup. After that, the opposition became much tougher. Following a draw with Sevilla, they lost to Atletico, but this week they secured a cup victory. Overall, recent results suggest that Valencia are gradually stabilizing after a difficult spell. At home, they have started to look more confident, which often helps them grind out important points.

Mallorca had gradually begun to forget about serious troubles. Under Aguirre, they repeated their best-ever cup run by reaching the final, although they lost once again. In his very first year on the island, Arrasate guided the team into the top 10 of La Liga. The next step was expected to be a push for European qualification, but instead, by losing around half of their matches, Mallorca slid back toward the edge of the relegation zone. Even in the cup, they only narrowly beat the modest Numancia, 3–2. Naturally, the main task was to finally improve results in La Liga, especially with newly promoted sides appearing on the schedule. Against Oviedo they were held to a draw, but they did manage to beat the seemingly stronger Elche. However, in the cup they later lost 0–1 to Deportivo. In recent league matches, Mallorca’s form has remained inconsistent, with results swinging from game to game. Away from home in particular, they have struggled to turn solid performances into victories.

Last season, the clubs exchanged home wins. Los Ches are playing at home, so we believe they will manage to secure an important victory.

Prediction for the match: Valencia to win.
