Going into this match, Mallorca were undefeated against Alaves in their last three matches.
Alaves won their last match with a 3-1 victory over Granada. In that match, Alaves had 43% possession and 8 shots, 5 of which were on target.

Goals for Granada were scored by Raúl Torrente (11th minute UCL) and Mirto Uzuni (86th minute).
Alaves enter this game on a very poor run of 11 consecutive league games without a win on the road.

Mallorca's head coach, Javier Aguirre, is pleased to announce that there are no fitness issues for this match and can field a fully fit team ready to play.
We think Mallorca might use a 5-3-2 formation in this match, with a starting lineup of Predrag Lakovic, Martín Valiente, Antonio Reillo, Matija Nastasic, Giovanni González, Tony Ratto, Antonio Sánchez, Samu, Sergi Darde, Sergio Lalín, and Abon Platz.
With a completely injury-free set of players, Alaves head coach Luis García Prasa doesn't have any health issues to worry about.
Alaves will likely play with a 4-2-3-1 formation with starters Antonio Chivera, Anthony Gorosaber, Abdelkabir Abukar, Rafa Marin, Javi Lopez, Ander Guevara, Antonio Blanco, Abdelrahman Rebach, Jon Guridi, Luis Rioja and Samuel Omorodion.
PREDICTION: Here, we think that Alaves will try to attack this Mallorca team, which is expected to finish the game without conceding a goal and possibly get a win.
