Mallorca vs Almeria Prediction and Betting Tips | 17th September 2022

Mallorca host Almeria at the Iberostar Stadium in La Liga on Saturday as both sides look to pick up their second win of the season.

Now into their third consecutive top-flight campaign, the Pirates are languishing in 13th place with five points from five games.

Javier Aguirre's side have won just once in the campaign thus far - a 2-0 defeat of Rayo Vallecano on matchday three, while losing twice, including a crushing 4-1 defeat at the hands of champions Real Madrid last weekend.

Almeria are back in La Liga for the first time since the 2014-15 season and it hasn't been the most glorious return so far.

With one point less than Mallorca, La Union are right behind them in the league standings in 14th position and hovering above the relegation zone.

Their only victory so far has come against Sevilla, pulling off a 2-1 comeback win on matchday three, having also collected a point before that from a 1-1 draw with Elche.
