Alaves preview: Entertaining Alaves
Ever since the appointment of former Watford boss Quique Sanchez Flores, Deportivo Alaves have become entertaining to watch but the Basque outfit have remained underwhelming in terms of their results as they battle against relegation.
Once again, in midweek at the Bernabeu in the Spanish capital city, Alaves put in a solid performance but eventually succumbed to a 2-1 loss to Real Madrid with Toni Martinez scoring a late but deserved consolation against the faltering Blancos.
Mallorca preview: Still in the battle
Real Mallorca have also enjoyed an improvement since a managerial change with former Bayern Munich and Manchester City centre-back Martin Demichelis overseeing the Balearic Islanders pushing away from the bottom three and the relegation places.
The Majorcans were pegged back to a 1-1 draw by Valencia in Palma de Mallorca in midweek, meaning that they have now suffered just one defeat in their last five matches in La Liga.

Alaves vs Mallorca prediction
Alaves’ aforementioned 2-1 loss to Real Madrid the other day means that the hosts’ last six matches have all featured both teams scoring with 27 goals coming in those games. Mallorca have been much-improved, filtering their attacks more through Pablo Torre with Vedat Muriqi remaining efficient and this could be quite a fun watch for the neutral at Mendizorroza in Vitoria-Gasleiz.
