The action in La Liga ramps up over the next seven days ahead of the final day of the campaign on Sunday, June 4. Valencia made headlines for all the wrong reasons on their previous outing, as the sickening racist abuse hurled at Vinicius Jr means that they will be playing five home matches behind closed doors.
Mallorca will have the home advantage on Thursday evening, as they chase a second win in three matches to move into the top half of the standings. You can find the latest La Liga odds and our Mallorca vs Valencia betting prediction below.

Mallorca vs. Valencia Recent Scores
Mallorca landed a famous victory at the Mestalla in the previous clash between the sides on the La Liga schedule. That means that they could record back-to-back wins against their rival for the first time in La Liga history on Thursday.
However, Valencia has picked up points in three of their last five matches on the road against Mallorca, which includes two victories over that period. Meanwhile, Mallorca has kept just a single clean sheet in 15 league meetings against Valencia. That trend could create a potential Mallorca vs Valencia betting opportunity this week.
Mallorca vs. Valencia Betting Analysis
Mallorca Facts To Know
The hosts will be chasing a victory that will confirm their top-flight status for another season on Thursday. However, they come into the clash against Valencia in poor recent form. Over their last five matches, they have won just once. Meanwhile, they have suffered three defeats over the same period.
That recent form would be a pressing concern coming into this fixture, as the three defeats that they have suffered in recent weeks is as many as they have lost in their last nine in La Liga. But, the hosts do have an excellent record in league matches matched on a Thursday, as they have suffered just two defeats from nine.
Valencia Facts To Know
There wasn’t anything to like about what happened at the Mestella on Sunday, as the sickening abuse hurled at Vinicius Jr has already led to arrests in Spain. But, Valencia’s recent performances have managed to put them within touching distance of securing their top-flight status this term. That appeared incredibly unlikely just a month ago, as they were rooted in the bottom three places in the standings.
The Spanish giants have now won three of their last five matches, and have gone three without loss against La Liga. Valencia also comes into this match looking to register three consecutive victories for the first time this season. If they are able to achieve that, then they could end the round within four points of the top half of the standings.
Updates
Mallorca come into this fixture with three key injury doubts. Jaume Costa, Manu Morlanes, and I. Ruiz de all look set to sit out this home fixture against Valencia. Meanwhile, the visitors will be without Yunus Musah and Eray Comart, who will serve the final match of their suspension.

Mallorca vs. Valencia Betting Prediction
This is a key game for both sides to improve their La Liga ranking. Valencia has shot up the La Liga standings in recent weeks, and their impressive form is incredibly hard to overlook.
They have a solid overall record against Mallorca, and they present value in the Mallorca vs Valencia betting market. Meanwhile, we also expect a low-scoring affair between the sides, with the most likely outcome being a 1-0 win for the visitors.
- Pick 1: Valencia (+140)
- Pick 2: Valencia to win 1-0 (+500)
