Prediction: 1-1
Valladolid
Visit Mallorca Estadi will host Saturday’s football game between Mallorca and Real Valladolid, the two teams who are almost level on points in the La Liga table. Los Bermellones aim to bounce back from a 2-0 loss to Getafe, with the team eyeing their third home win of the process. The good news for the hosts is that both Ruiz de Galarreta and Martin Valjent are back from suspension after the duo missed the last league match through suspension.
Meanwhile, La Pucela suffered yet another dip in form, with the team losing to both Athletic Club and Real Madrid in the last two league matches. Valladolid’s display, though, against los Blancos was anything but poor, and that is the main reason why we predict they will hold Mallorca to a draw on Matchday 16. Both Sergio Leon Limones and Javi Sanchez are banned for the match, while Jawad El Yamiq has yet to overcome a hamstring problem.
