Mallorca is a promoted polo team, after 19 league rounds this season, it has achieved 4 wins, 8 draws and 7 losses, ranking 15th in La Liga with 20 points, and alaves is currently only 4 points above the relegation zone, which shows that it still has some relegation pressure.

Mallorca has recently declined in form, suffering two consecutive league defeats, first 1-4 to Granada, the last round of the league home against the declining Barca, but still at a disadvantage in the scene, 35% of the possession, 13 shots on goal 3 shots on target, after conceding the first half, the team still did not have any achievements, and finally lost again 0-1. In the West Cup, Mallorca's first two laps were against lower-level teams.
In the past meetings between the two teams, Eibar has played Mallorca 5 times, achieving a record of 1 win and 4 losses, and the past performance is obviously at a disadvantage. In terms of recent situations, Eibar has recently won 3 consecutive wins, the team's state is relatively stable, but there are still some problems on the defensive end; and Mallorca, although in La Liga, has recently declined significantly in form and has a certain amount of relegation pressure.
