La Liga: Mallorca vs Alaves
At 1:00 a.m. Beijing time on April 20, 2022, the 33rd round of La Liga, the "promotion horse" Mallorca will face the "deputy squad leader" Alaves at home. Mallorca rushed into La Liga last season as a runner-up in La Liga, and after the promotion, relegation became the team's goal for the season due to limited strength. At present, after 32 rounds of the league, with 7 wins, 8 draws and 17 losses, ranking 17th in the league with 29 points, Mallorca is currently in the relegation zone, fortunately the same as the Granada points in the safety zone in front of it, if the follow-up can grab the points in time, the team's chances of relegation are still not small.
Mallorca's recent performances have been somewhat neurotic, the last 9 league games, only defeated the sheets of the legion Atletico, while the remaining 8 games were all lost, the last round of league away against the mediocre Elche, but also the opponent 3 consecutive goals, and finally fruitless. In terms of squad, there are currently four injuries in the team, including centre-back Graretta, left-back Hoome Costa, centre-back Sedra and goalkeeper Dominic Grave.
Alaves has been mixed in the lower reaches of La Liga for the past two seasons, tired of relegation for many years, the team's results this season are even worse, after 32 rounds of league, achieved 6 wins, 7 draws and 19 losses, with 25 points at the bottom of the ranking position, becoming the league's "deputy squad leader", currently and the safety zone of Granada has a gap of 4 points, it can be seen that the team still has the hope of relegation. From the statistical point of view, Alaves has scored 25 goals in 32 league rounds this season, conceded 53 goals, the offensive and defensive levels are obviously unbalanced, and the offensive end with an average goal rate of less than 1 goal per game is currently the team with the fewest goals in La Liga.
Alaves's recent performance has not been ideal, with seven consecutive league games before, until the last round of the league home game against Vallecano, with the goal of striker Jose Lu, finally won 1-0, to get the team back on the winning track, this victory still has a significant boost to the morale of the team. It is worth noting that Alaves has been very bad on the road this season, with 1 win, 3 draws and 12 defeats so far in the season, and its away ranking is also at the bottom.
In terms of past encounters between the two teams, Mallorca has achieved a record of 2 wins and 1 loss in the last 3 La Liga matches against Alaves, and won 1-0 on the road in the first leg of this season, occupying a certain psychological advantage. In terms of recent developments, both teams are currently in the relegation zone, with Mallorca back in the league last round, while Alaves is back on the winning track, but it is also an indisputable fact that the attacking end is weak.
