Valencia vs Real Mallorca
Primera, Spain
Date: Saturday, Nov 28, 2009
Stadium: Estadio Mestalla
After a convincing away win against Osasuna, Valencia held on to the fourth place on the standings and now they are only four points behind leading Real. Mallorca continued the fantastic run of six straight wins at home, having beaten Almeria, while they still haven’t managed to record an away win. Last weekend Valencia scored three goals in less than an hour in Pamplona and Primera’s top scorer, David Villa opened the score. Valencia are yet unbeaten at Mestalla and having in mind that they lost only one of last 25 home games against Mallorca, we expect the tradition to continue. That is why we suggest that you use David Villa refused the numerous offers of big clubs to prove his fidelity to Valencia and already on the start of the season he is on top of the score sheet with nine goals scored. Last season Valencia fought a convincing 3:0 win over Mallorca where Villa as usually opened the score. That is why you should think about anytime in the game. After a boring first half that ended goalless, only in the finish of the game against Almeria did Mallorca manage to solve the game, thanks to double scorer Gonzalo Castro and Casadeseus, who scored their first goals in the league this season. This way Mallorca kept the maximum efficiency record at home, while they only took two points in away games so far. Interestingly, Mallorca have never opened the score in these duels and having in mind that Valencia are not quite their favourite hosts, think about Mallorca are known as extremely dangerous hosts at their ONO stadium, while they are defensive-minded away, which is why they rarely take points outside of their stadium. Precisely that is why coach Manzano opted for the formation with only one forward, most likely team’s top scorer, Aduriz. Valero Borja, on loan from West Bromwich Albion will be the second striker and he has already proven to be the big boost for the team. Tuni and Felipe won’t travel to help their side. Mallorca can’t boast good performance away, having in mind that they capitulated in each of the five away games and their goal margin is one of the weakest in the league, 5-12. That is why we don’t expect them to hold on against league’s best striker in Valencia and Valencia await this duel in a fantastic mood after the convincing performance against Osasuna and they want to use the fact that Barcelona and Real will face each other, especially because they will host the top-placed Madrid side in two weeks from now. Mallorca are on excellent seventh place, but definitely not thanks to their performance away, so they can only hope for avoiding another convincing away defeat here We will post information about results of this match..
