It looked like Mallorca would have to settle for a share of the spoils against Las Palmas last weekend, with the home side fighting back to level the score at 2-2 at the end of the game Dani Rodríguez And Robert Navarro had registered Jagoba Arrasate‘s page.

However, Johan Mojica had other ideas as the 32-year-old scored the winner for Mallorca in the 91st minute and it was an important result for Pirates, who had gone into the clash on the back of successive defeats to Alaves and Atlético Madrid.

The Arrasate team is in eighth place La Liga tableWith a record of six wins, three draws and five defeats from 14 games and 21 points, they are just four points behind fourth-placed Villarreal.

Mallorca has actually been unbeaten in Spain’s top flight against Valencia since February 2022, but both league games last season ended in a draw, including a 1-1 draw at the Estadi Mallorca Son Moix.

In fact, Pirates have been stronger on the road than at home this season, picking up just nine points in seven games at home, but Valencia have been the worst away performers in La Liga this season.

Mallorca will be without the services of Vedat Muriqi on Friday through suspension, with the striker being sent off in the last game against Las Palmas Abdon Prats, Pablo Maffeo, Toni Lato, Ivan Cuellar And Takuma Asano are all injured.

Cyle Larin against Las Palmas, but head coach Arrasate is hoping to get the Canada international back in time for that game, as Dani Rodriguez will also operate in the final third of the field.

Antonio Sanchez And Omar Mascarell are among the options for a move, but the pair are likely to remain on the bench.

As for Valencia, Maximiliano Caufriez, Ruben Iranzo, Thierry Correia, Rafa Mir And Mouctar Diakhaby have all been eliminated from the competition.

Head coach Baraja could choose the same team that took to the field against Real Betis in the league last weekend, with Duro continuing in the middle.

There have been numerous changes to the squad for the Copa del Rey clash with Parla Escuela, but here there will be a more familiar look to the team, with Yarek Gasiorowski possibly the only player to keep his place.

Possible starting lineup for Mallorca:
Gripping; Morey, Valjent, Raillo, Mojica; Navarro, Morlanes, S Costa, Darder; D Rodriguez, Larin

Valencia possible starting lineup:
Mamardashvili; Foulquier, Tarrega, Mosquera, Gasiorowski, Gaya; Rioja, Barrenechea, Guerra, Lopez; Duro

We say: Mallorca – Valencia 1:1

Both La Liga games between the two teams last season ended in draws and we can see another stalemate here. Mallorca have home advantage but Arrasate’s side will be missing some key players and we expect Valencia to be good enough to take a point on Friday evening.
