Match Time & Date:

Prediction: 1-1
Mallorca
Deportivo Alaves and Mallorca go head to head at Estadio Mendizorrotza in what is expected to be a close La Liga encounter. Alaves suffered a heavy 4-1 loss to Real Madrid in their opener, and, no doubt, they are eager to give fans some cheer in their first home game of the season. The Basques are tough to beat at home, but the game against the newcomers will be anything but a walk in the park for the hosts.
A man to keep an eye on in the home team will be former Newcastle United attacker Joselu, who opened his goal-scoring account at the weekend. There are no absentees in the home team ahead of the visit of Mallorca. Los Bermellones, on the other hand, kicked off the new Primera Division campaign with a 1-1 draw with Real Betis. Given Alaves’ display in the defeat to Real Madrid, we are positive that Mallorca are going to grab something from Saturday’s game. Both Jaume Costa and Antonio Sanchez remain in the recovery room.
Highlighted Player (Lucas Perez):
Lucas Perez is a Spanish footballer who plays for Deportivo La Coruna as a striker. Lucas Perez was born in La Coruna on 10 September, 1988 and he started his youth career at Alaves. Between 2007 and 2009 he played for Atletico Madrid C and in 2009 he signed for Rayo Vallecano.
Lucas Perez scored 25 goals in 44 appearances for los Vallecanos, but he played no more than seven matches for the first team. In 2011 he joined Ukrainian side Karpaty Lviv, but two years later he moved to PAOK, where he played 32 league games for the Greek outfit (scoring nine goals).
Lucas made it to the Greek Football Cup final with PAOk in the 2013/2014 season, but Panathinaikos emerged triumphant in the title game. On 12 August, 2015, Lucas signed a four-year deal with his home-town club Deportivo La Coruna and he impressed in the 2015/2016 La Liga campaign, scoring 17 goals for the Galician outfit.
Highlighted Team (Mallorca):
Thanks to a win over Deportivo La Coruna in the 2018/2019 Segunda Division play-offs final Mallorca secured promotion to Primera Division. Los Bermellones returned to the Spanish top flight following a six-year absence. Over the years Mallorca have turned their Estadi de son Moix into a real fortress, with the team producing much better showings at home than on the travels.
Opened in June 1999, the venue can hold up to 23,142 people. The club based in Balearic Islands are well known for their red shirts with one black stripe and black shorts. Mallorca’s away colours are white and red. Former Barcelona and Inter ace Samuel Eto’o is undisputedly the most notable footballer who played for the club.
Back in 1999 Mallorca made it to the UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup final, with the team suffering a 2-1 loss to Lazio in the title game. Four years later los Bermellones won Spanish Copa del Rey, which is considered the club’s biggest success.
