Oviedo vs Mallorca prediction: SPAIN: LaLiga betting tips on match 2025-12-04 20:00.
[p]A clash with implications for La Liga’s relegation battle takes place on Friday when basement-dwelling Real Oviedo host a Mallorca side who sit just four points above them.[/p]
[p]Match News and Current Form[/p]
[p]Oviedo remained rock bottom of La Liga after their 2-0 defeat to Atlético Madrid last time out, stretching their winless league run to seven games (D3, L4) and their scoreless run in such outings to four matches. A mere seven top-flight goals scored all season go some way to explaining their struggles this term, and it’s been a particular concern at home, where Oviedo have scored just twice in seven league games this season (W1, D2, L4). Things could yet get worse for Oviedo, who have lost four of their last six Friday-held fixtures (W1, D1).[/p]
[p]Mallorca gained a point in their last La Liga outing after a 2-2 draw with Osasuna, but it may feel more like a defeat considering they led 2-0 at the 80th minute. That leaves the Pirates with one win in their last five league outings (D2, L2), a record that reads much worse when focusing on their away record, having suffered six defeats in their seven league road trips this term (W1). They too don’t benefit from the scheduling of this fixture, since they’ve lost six of their last eight Friday-held fixtures (W2), failing to score in each of those six defeats, but avoiding defeat in all five of their La Liga games this season against current bottom-half sides (W2, D3) is a positive omen they can cling to. [/p]
[p]Head-to-Head History[/p]
[p]Oviedo have beaten Mallorca just once in the last 19 encounters (D11, L7), although five of the last six H2Hs they hosted ended in stalemate (W1).[/p]

[p]Leander Dendoncker could be a contender to make an early impact for Oviedo since seven of his last nine club goals have arrived before half-time. Mallorca’s Vedat Muriqi scored a brace against Osasuna, with both goals contributing to four of his last six strikes coming between the 60th and 70th minutes. [/p]
[p]Oviedo will continue to monitor defenders David Carmo and Javi LĂłpez, while Mallorca seemingly have close to a fully-fit squad.[/p]
