Team News

Mallorca
Deportivo Alaves
  • Vedat Muriqi watched from the stands on Wednesday night with former star player Kang In Lee, now of PSG. The Kosovan is unlikely to feature this weekend against Alaves.
  • Abdon Prats scored in Mallorca's midweek match, and he should get the nod over Cyle Larin.
  • Dani Rodriguez is suspended so Manu Morlanes should get a start.
  • Abdel Aqbar was fit to play in Alaves' 3-1 victory over Granada last Friday. He should pair with Real Madrid loanee Rafa Marin, due to the injury of Aleksandar Sedlar.
  • Samu Omorodion has scored two goals in Alaves' last three games. He should continue to start up front, keeping Kike Garcia on the bench.

Prediction

  • Mallorca and Alaves are both sides that find it difficult defending a lead in La Liga this season. While Mallorca have lacked clinical finishing in front of goal to build on an important lead, Alaves seem to concede possession completely once going in front, inviting the opposition into scoring positions. 38% of opposition touches have come in an around the Alaves penalty box this season, a stat that Luis Garcia will want to change.
  • Mallorca are missing the prowess of Vedat Muriqi at the spearhead of attack but Abdon Prats has been shaping up well in his absence. What's more, only Muriqi has a higher non penalty goal xG than Canadian Striker Cyle Larin, who provides an extra option for the team with pace and slaloming runs.
  • This one should be a case of which attack is sharper on the day, and with Mallorca's captain sidelined through injury still, Alaves have a great opportunity to take some points on the road in this vital six pointer on Sunday.
