Mallorca

Mallorca finished ninth in La Liga last season, but the Pirates have struggled to reach those heights this term, with a total of 32 points from 34 matches leaving them down in 17th spot in the table.

Javier Aguirre's side are six points above 18th-placed Cadiz, while they are 11 ahead of 19th-placed Granada and would relegate Jose Ramon Sandoval's team by beating Las Palmas on Saturday afternoon.

Mallorca are far from comfortable, but it would still be a surprise to see them relegated from this position, as Cadiz would have to do an awful lot to move ahead of them in the closing stages.

The Pirates, who lost to Athletic Bilbao in this season's Copa del Rey final, will enter this match off the back of a 1-0 home loss to Atletico Madrid last weekend.

Mallorca are on a five-game winless run in Spain's top flight, suffering three defeats in the process, with their last success proving to be a 1-0 victory over Granada in the middle of March.

Las Palmas

Las Palmas are fortunate that their form in the first half of the season was impressive, as they are currently on a seven-game losing run in Spain's top flight, scoring just once during that set of fixtures.

Pio Pio have not won in La Liga since February 10 at home to Valencia, picking up just two points from their last 10 matches, which has seen them drop into 14th spot in the division, boasting 37 points from 34 games.

Garcia Pimienta's side, who were promoted from the Segunda Division last season, are 11 points clear of the relegation zone, so their survival could be confirmed this weekend.

Las Palmas are set for another campaign at this level of football, but their form in recent weeks will be concerning ahead of the 2024-25 season, and Garcia Pimienta will be determined to finish strongly, with games against Real Betis, Cadiz and Alaves to come after this one.

Los Amarillos have picked up 15 points from their 17 away league matches this season, while Mallorca have claimed 22 points from their 17 games in front of their own supporters.

Prediction: Mallorca 1-0 Las Palmas
