Mallorca — Alaves : Match Preview and Prediction for September 27,2025

Mallorca’s Current Form

The team led by Jago Arrasate has started the new season quite differently from the last one, currently sitting in the penultimate place in the championship with only 2 points from their last 6 games. After nearly reaching European competitions last season, this year the Balearic team appears completely drained and to have expended all their energy.

Recent Performances and Squad Updates

Mallorca has become predictable, and under their coach, they aren’t adapting to new strategies. Last week, they miraculously secured a point against Atletico when Muriqi scored five minutes before the end to equalize at 1-1 after being 0-1 down. However, against Sociedad in San Sebastian, the red-blacks could and should have suffered a heavier defeat than 0-1, yet they still had a chance to salvage the game, though it didn’t materialize. I see the hosts as a very dangerous favorite against a currently more vibrant Alaves. Kumbulla, Rodriguez, and Virgil, who is away at the U20 World Cup, will not be available for the hosts in this match.

Alaves’ Recent Resurgence

Alaves made a timely appointment of Eduardo Coudet last season, who breathed new life into the team. The squad from Vitoria-Gasteiz began playing in a more aggressive style, pressing and attacking more actively, ultimately avoiding relegation at the end of the season.

Alaves’ Current Standings and Away Form

Currently, the white-and-blues find themselves in a more stable position, sitting comfortably in the middle of the table at 10th place. The past week and two matches brought an unpleasant home defeat against Sevilla, but Alaves managed to salvage a draw away against Getafe (1-1) with 20 minutes remaining. This season, the Argentine specialist’s proteges are performing well on the road (one win, one loss, and one draw), and against a Mallorca team in their current state, the visitors should definitely be fighting for points. Only Caleb might miss this game for the visitors.
