Valencia vs Mallorca: La Liga Round 17 Preview
Match Date & Time: December 19, 2025, 21:00 CET
Valencia will host Mallorca at Mestalla in the 17th round of La Liga. Both teams are eager to secure a rare victory before the holiday break and excite their fans.
Our Prediction for Valencia vs Mallorca
Valencia brought in Corberan a year ago to replace the underperforming Baraja. Last season, they finished 12th with 46 points. After the winter break, they started decently but struggled in autumn. November brought improvements with cup progress and a win over Levante, but they fell 1-2 to Atletico as expected.
Mallorca, under Arrasate since last summer, finished 10th last season with 48 points. This season, only their cup run has been consistent. In La Liga, they have struggled, losing about half of their matches and fighting to stay clear of the relegation zone. Recent results include a draw with Oviedo and an important win over Elche.
Statistically, Valencia averages 0.94 goals scored per match while conceding 1.56. Mallorca score 1.13 goals per game but concede 1.44 on average, showing defensive vulnerabilities on both sides.
