Mallorca vs Almería Prediction & Betting Tips - LaLiga

Prediction published on 19/05/2024, 04:37  by Joseph King in LaLiga Predictions

17th-place RCD Mallorca can ensure their top flight status for next season when they host bottom-feeders Almeria for matchday 37 of LaLiga. Victory for Mallorca here would secure a fourth consecutive year in the Spanish top flight for Los Piratas. They currently hold a four-point lead over 18th-place Cadiz with only two matches remaining on the fixture list. Mallorca come into this matchup following a pair of positive results after a 1-0 home win over Las Palmas and a 1-1 away draw with Osasuna. After a stretch of just a single point in four league matches, the hosts will be hoping that they can finish the campaign on a high note. The bulk of Mallorca’s victories have come at the Son Moix Stadium where they have amassed a record of six wins, seven draws and only five defeats.

Almeria have already been relegated from LaLiga and will drop back down to the Segunda Division after two seasons in the top flight. It’s been a difficult season for Los Rojiblancos who had to wait seven months into the domestic campaign to pick up their first league victory. They’ve managed a total of only 17 points so far, putting them a massive 19 points from safety. Almeria come into this fixture in poor form after a 2-0 home loss to Barcelona marked the team’s second defeat in a row. The visitors have now lost five of their last seven games, conceding at least two goals in all five defeats. Almeria have the division’s worst defensive record with 72 goals conceded in their 36 matches played (2.00 per match). The lone positive for the away side is that their two wins of the season have both come on the road.
