Mallorca team overview
Mallorca’s 2025/26 La Liga campaign has been challenging. After 15 matches, the team’s record reflects a struggle for consistent victories, with a relatively high proportion of draws and defeats. Their recent form has not been overly poor, but it has not been particularly inspiring either: one win, two draws, and two defeats in their last five league outings.
Despite their league struggles and current position near the bottom of the table, Mallorca’s home record has been more than satisfactory. They have only lost once at the Estadi de Son Moix in seven matches and are currently on a six-game unbeaten home run in La Liga. If Jagoba Arrasate’s men draw or win on Saturday, they will extend their unbeaten streak to three matches and stay out of the relegation zone for at least one more weekend.
On the injury front, Mallorca have dealt with ongoing squad challenges. Captain Antonio Raíllo is attempting a return from a recent cheekbone fracture. Vedat Muriqi has been one of the few bright sparks in Mallorca’s attack this season - the 31-year-old striker has scored 8 goals so far, accounting for more than half of Mallorca’s total tally of 15 league goals.

Elche team overview
Elche arrive in Mallorca in slightly better league shape. Their recent form across all competitions shows two wins, two draws, and two losses in their last six outings, but when considering only La Liga fixtures, they have been searching for wins for the past couple of months. Last weekend they finally ended their seven-game winless league run, defeating Girona 3-0 at home. Their broader recent form has been reasonably solid, with just one defeat in their last four away fixtures (W1 D2 L1).
This matchup on Saturday brings together two contrasting profiles, and the league standings are not the primary driving factor behind this contrast. While Mallorca can boast an impressive home record, Elche should be increasingly concerned about their away form, having failed to win in seven consecutive league matches on the road.
Coach Eder Sarabia Armesto has almost a full squad available, with only André Silva and Grady Diangana listed as doubtful. Rafa Mir, with 6 league goals, appears to be the biggest threat to Mallorca’s defence ahead of Saturday’s encounter.

Prediction
Taking both statistical context and recent performance into account, this matchup leans towards a close and potentially narrow scoreline. The head-to-head balance, combined with Mallorca’s defensive inconsistencies but Elche’s poor results on the road, suggests a game that could be settled by small margins. Expect a competitive contest with chances for both sides and potentially a draw, but we lean towards a safer bet on Elche not to lose (double chance x2).
Prediction: Elche not to lose (double chance x2).
Three reasons we expect Double chance x2
- Elche have only lost once in the last four La Liga games (W1 D2 L1).
- Mallorca have only picked up one win in the last five La Liga outings.
- Elche are unbeaten in four successive h2h meetings with Mallorca.
