The Matchday 35 clash in La Liga between Mallorca and Valladolid will take place on May 10 at the Son Moix Stadium. Mallorca vs. Valladolid: prediction and betting odds, statistics.
Mallorca
The Islanders played their last round match knowing the standings but failed to capitalize on the chance to break into the European competition zone. Playing away against Girona, Jagoba Arrasate's team lost 0-1. This marked the third consecutive La Liga match without scoring: prior defeats included a 0-1 loss to Barcelona and a goalless draw with Leganes. The club has slipped to 10th place, but they are only behind the top 8 due to additional criteria.
- The club has not won in 8 of their last 10 matches in La Liga (4 draws and 4 losses).
- No more than two goals have been scored in 8 of Mallorca's last 10 La Liga games.
- At least one team failed to score in 5 of the Islanders' last 6 league matches.
Predicted lineup for Mallorca (5-4-1)
Dominik Greif – Martin Valjent, Antonio Raillo, Pablo Maffeo, Johan Mojica, Jose Manuel Copete – Antonio Sanchez, Sergi Darder, Daniel Rodriguez, Samu Costa – Cyle Larin.
Valladolid
Alvaro Rubio's side, despite lacking tournament motivation, put up a decent fight against the league leaders, losing 1-2 to Barcelona at home. However, the team extended their losing streak in La Liga to eight matches. The goal difference in these games is telling – 8:23. Valladolid is stuck at the bottom of the table and seems poised to finish as the league's worst defensive team, having conceded a staggering 83 goals so far.
- Valladolid's winless streak in La Liga stands at 15 matches (1 draw and 14 losses).
- At least three goals have been scored in the club's last six league games.
- Both teams scored in 8 of Valladolid's last 10 La Liga matches.
Predicted lineup for Valladolid (4-4-2)
Andre Ferreira – Antonio Candela, Cenk Ozkacar, Eray Cömert, Adam Aznou – Stanko Juric, Ivan Sanchez, Anuar Tuhami, Selim Amallah – Raul Moro, Mamadou Sylla.
Forward Mamadou Sylla is out due to yellow card accumulation.

Mallorca vs. Valladolid: Match Prediction
The Islanders maintain a strong chance of qualifying not only for the Conference League but also for the Europa League. The competition for the 7th and 8th positions in the standings is intense, with at least six teams vying for these spots, making any point loss potentially costly at the season's end. Therefore, Mallorca aims to secure three points against the league's bottom team and score as many goals as possible.
Valladolid is likely to lose again but continues to find the net. The club consistently concedes more than two goals per match on average, while also managing to score in response. In their last four La Liga matches, Valladolid scored against strong opponents – Atletico, Osasuna, Betis, and Barcelona. Hence, expect a high-scoring encounter in this match.
My prediction: Total over 2.5 goals
