Elche vs Mallorca Prediction & Betting Tips (21 March)

Elche came up short against Real Madrid last weekend, losing badly 4-1. A defeat which adds to that already suffered against Villarreal 2-1 and which pushes this team to 18th place, in a virtual relegation position. Terrible 2nd part of the season for the local players, who simply failed to win a single match in 2026, a series of 11 days without success for a not very glorifying record of 7 defeats. On the other side of the median, Mallorca broke its poor dynamic of 5 days without a victory in La Liga by defeating Espanyol Barcelona 2-1 last weekend.

A success which allowed the Mallorcans to leave the red zone and move up to 16th place. As a reminder, before this victory, Vedat Muriqi's teammates had been forced to share the points with Osasuna in the Basque Country 2-2 following their 4 successive defeats against Real Sociedad 0-1, Celta Vigo 2-0, Bétis 1-2 and on the pitch of FC Barcelona 3-0. 

After successful shoulder surgery, right back Hector Fort is convalescing and will not play this Saturday. Defender John Donald is also on the flank. Loaned by AS Roma, Buba Sangaré (18) started against Real Madrid but was forced to leave quickly. However, it should be available today. Offensively, we expect more from Rafa Mir and Andre Silva (7 goals each in La Liga) who have been quite ineffective in recent weeks. Victim of a cruciate ligament rupture, midfielder Salas will probably no longer play this season on the Mallorcan side. Suffering from a strained quadriceps, Llabres has a good chance of missing this trip to Martinez Valero like winger Asano and the important Kumbulla. Excluded against Osasuna, starting winger Virgili will have to serve a second match.

The starting left back Mojica will also be suspended for an accumulation of yellow cards. Abdon Prats (substitute) and goalkeeper Bergström (substitute) could, however, be back on the scoresheet. The fact remains that Léo Roman (N°1 goalkeeper) will be operational, just like the 2nd top scorer in La Liga, Vedat Muriqi (18 goals), a priori both starting in their respective positions. The probable line-ups for Elche - Mallorca: Elche: Dituro - Sangaré, Chust, Affengruber, Bigas, Valera - Febas, Aguado, Neto - A.Rodriguez (or A.Silva), R.Mir.
