Elche team overview
Elche come into this fixture in poor form, having failed to win any league matches in 2026 and collecting just a handful of points from recent games. Their last ten league matches have produced only draws and defeats, with their most recent victory coming on the final matchday of 2025, just before the festive period, when they scored four goals in a 4-0 home win over Rayo Vallecano.
Despite their struggles, Elche have shown some attacking capability, scoring 36 goals in 28 matches (1.3 per game), slightly outperforming Mallorca in that metric. Andre Silva and Rafa Mir have been key contributors, combining for 14 league goals.
As far as injuries are concerned, Elche head into this fixture with only Buba Sangaré ruled out.

Mallorca team overview
Mallorca arrive in slightly better form, picking up four points from their last two matches, including a 2-1 win over Espanyol and a 2-2 draw away at Osasuna. However, their broader form remains inconsistent, with four defeats in their last six games.
Vedat Muriqi remains their primary attacking threat with 18 goals, supported by contributions from Samu Costa and Pablo Torre. However, Mallorca face significant selection issues, with multiple absentees including Johan Mojica (suspension), Marash Kumbulla, Abdón Prats, Takuma Asano, and others, which could disrupt both defensive structure and attacking cohesion.

Prediction
Neither side has shown enough attacking efficiency to suggest a high-scoring encounter. With both teams under pressure and dealing with injuries, a cautious approach is likely. Although Mallorca have been the second-worst team on the road this season in terms of points - only above Elche - they are more than capable of securing at least a point on Saturday afternoon, given Elche’s horrendous form in 2026.
Prediction: Mallorca to Win or Draw (double chance x2).
Three reasons we expect Double chance x2
- Elche have failed to win a single La Liga game in 2026, going 11 consecutive matches without a victory.
- Mallorca defeated Elche 3-1 in the reverse fixture earlier this season.
- Elche have failed to win any of their last five home matches at the Estadio Martínez Valero.
