Is Mallorca finally settling down?
While two teams from the bottom half of the table meet in this match, the omens are nevertheless somewhat different. The bigger relegation worries are to be found on the side of the guests, while Mallorca at least lately didn’t let quite so much go to waste.
The Mallorca vs. Cadiz prediction of the betting providers also shows that the hosts go into the game with a favorite role. Of course, this can not be understood as a guarantee, but as a small pointer. Mallorca has not lost that many games recently.
Both will probably want to try to avoid defeat above all. The teams are not on a high level offensively this season, which is why our Mallorca vs. Cadiz tip is that the hosts will not lose and less than 2.5 goals will fall.
Mallorca – Statistics & current form
RCD Mallorca is not playing a bad season in Spain. After all, the team of coach Javier Aguirre has already surpassed one mark, that of 40 points. Now the host from the island is not missing much for the class preservation. At Girona last, however, there was a 1:2 defeat, which still left room for some skepticism. In general, however, the Mallorcans look relatively stable.
Aguirre’s team often plays with a five-man backline, which is primarily intended to strengthen the compactness. This has worked very well so far, as the hosts have conceded only 37 goals in 33 games. Mallorca has a particularly good record at home, conceding just 12 goals in 16 games. This is where the bulwark really unfolds. In addition, the home side has won seven of its 16 home games.
Conversely, this means that they scored an average of 1.63 points per home game. This yield also explains quite well why the hosts are no longer so much in the relegation battle. Away from home, however, Mallorca is losing a lot, scoring on average only about half as many points as in their home games.
Mallorca relies on goal scorer Muriqi
In the last seven competitive games, Mallorca has only suffered two defeats. While there aren’t and haven’t been an incredible amount of wins, the team has some basic stability to pull itself up on. Moreover, despite the rather destructive orientation, there is a classic goal scorer, namely Muriqi. He already stands at 13 goals in La Liga – out of 32 in total.
Importantly, there are hardly any games in which the hosts suffer a total loss. Mallorca has only conceded more than three goals once all season. In addition, there have never been more than two defeats in a row, which should be considered part of the secret of success. For this match, it is also said that the hopes may well be there, as Mallorca vs Cadiz betting odds see the team from the island in the favorite role.
However, the match must be played first and especially the weak offense often provides for nail-biting games. For this reason, our prediction before the match Mallorca vs. Cadiz is that the hosts do not lose and in the course of the game less than 2.5 goals fall

Cadiz – Statistics & current form
The situation looks a bit more complicated for FC Cadiz than for Mallorca. The guests are still above the line, but the situation further down is more complicated and especially tighter. There are only two points between 14th and 18th place, and Cadiz is in the middle of this pack in 15th place in La Liga. Recently, there have been three defeats in five games, but also two wins from six games.
In any case, the guests have been able to improve somewhat in the second half of the season. They have improved their record from the first half of the season, and Cadiz is playing a more straightforward style of soccer. The fact that the team has not been relegated since Matchday 22, after 20 consecutive relegations, speaks for itself. However, there have also only been three away wins so far this season and only eight successes in total, only two teams are worse here.
In the final phase of the season, every point can be decisive. That’s why Cadiz will certainly not be very offensive when this duel comes to Mallorca. The bookmakers are of a similar opinion, as the Mallorca vs. Cadiz odds do not suggest a spectacle. Rather, the bettors tend in unison towards a game without many goals.
Cadiz scores too few goals
Meanwhile, in defense Cadiz allows more than Mallorca, has already conceded 49 goals. That doesn’t make the visitors bottom of the league, though, especially since 14 of those goals conceded have also come in the first five games. A development cannot be denied, it has definitely taken place. Only offensively the shoe continues to pinch, as 26 goals from 33 games clearly show.
Cadiz still has a lot of potential, especially away from home, scoring only ten times. Things also look bad in the opening quarter, with no team scoring less often. In addition, the visitors have failed to score at all in four of their last six away games. The slightly better form of the home side and the differences between home and away games on both sides ensures that before the Mallorca vs Cadiz match, our value tip is that the hosts will win.

Mallorca – Cadiz tip
It’s a game in the relegation battle, but by no means a kind of final for these two teams. Mallorca has an advantage on its side, but must try to put a good performance on the pitch. After all, the last few weeks have been very decent.
Both teams are especially offensively expandable on the road, which is why before the match Mallorca vs Cadiz our tip is that the hosts will not lose, but will definitely fall less than 2.5 goals.
