The action continues in round 16 of the Spanish La Liga as Mallorca play host to Elche at the Estadi de Son Moix on Saturday. This will be the first meeting between the two teams since March 2023, when Elche held on to see out a 1-0 victory away from home.
Mallorca continue to struggle for results at the wrong end of the La Liga table as they were held to a goalless draw by nine-man Real Oviedo at the Carlos Tartiere Stadium last Friday.
Jagoba Arrasate’s side have failed to win five of their last six games, losing twice and claiming three draws, and have managed three wins after the first 15 league matches this season.
Mallorca already find themselves in the relegation conversation, as they sit 17th in the La Liga standings with just 14 points from a possible 45 matches, two points above the drop zone.
On the other hand, Elche finally gave their fans something to cheer for last Sunday when they stormed to a 3-0 victory over Girona at the Estadio Martínez Valero.
This was a much-needed result for Eder Sarabia Armesto’s men, who had failed to win their previous seven league matches (3D 4L), having gone unbeaten in the first seven games to mark their return to the top flight.
Having gained promotion from La Liga 2 last term, Elche have picked up 19 points from their 15 La Liga games so far to sit ninth in the table, level on points with 10th-placed Celta Vigo.
Mallorca vs Elche Head-To-Head and Key Numbers
- The results have been split right down the middle in the history of this fixture, with Mallorca and Elche claiming three wins each from their previous 12 encounters.

- Elche are one of just four sides yet to win an away game in La Liga this season, having picked up three draws and lost four of their seven matches so far.
Mallorca vs Elche Prediction
While Elche have struggled for results since their flying start to the league campaign, they will head into the weekend with renewed confidence, following their dominant display against Girona. Mallorca have endured a topsy-turvy run of results this season, and we predict they will be happy to leave with a point on Saturday.
