Intense Relegation Battle Unfolds at Son Moix Stadium
Mallorca host Valencia at Son Moix in a crucial midweek LaLiga fixture. Both clubs arrive in a relegation battle separated by a single point.
Standings and context
Valencia sit one place and one point ahead with 35 points. They remain three points clear of the drop zone.
Mallorca have improved markedly under manager Martín Demichelis. The side has won the last two league matches against Real Madrid and Rayo Vallecano.
Home form and morale
Mallorca are unbeaten on the island since Demichelis took charge. The strong Son Moix atmosphere adds weight to their resurgence.
Vedat Muriqi has emerged as a crucial figure. He is now the club’s all-time top scorer in Primera and will be honoured on the club’s ‘day of Pirates’.
Team news and absences
Mallorca will miss Zito Luvumbo and Mateo Joseph due to injuries. Those absences reduce attacking options for the hosts.
Valencia arrive for their 3,000th Primera match. Manager Carlos Corberán must rebuild a defence weakened by several injuries.
- Valencia injured: Cömert and Núñez are sidelined.
- Diakhaby and Copete are already out as well.
- Pepelu is likely to fill a defensive role alongside Tárrega.
Probable lineups
- Mallorca (probable): Leo Román; Maffeo, Valjent, Omar Mascarell; Mojica; Darder, Samú Costa, Morlanes, Pablo Torre; Jan Virgili, Muriqi.
- Valencia (probable): Dimitrievski; Thierry, Tárrega, Pepelu, Gayà; Rioja, Guido, Ugrinic, Ramazani; Beltrán, Sadiq.
