The La Liga matchday 29 fixture between Elche vs Mallorca will take place on 21 March at the Manuel Martinez Valero Stadium. Elche vs Mallorca: prediction, betting odds and statistics.
Elche Team Form
In their latest league game, the team failed to put up a fight against Real Madrid (1:4). As a result, Elche suffered their first heavy defeat since returning to La Liga; prior to this, the club had not conceded more than three goals in a single match at any point in the current league campaign. In 2026, the team still have not recorded a single La Liga win, with their winless run now stretching to 11 matches (4 draws, 7 defeats). It is also telling that both teams scored in 10 of those 11 fixtures. As a consequence, Elche slipped into the relegation zone last week, having been in mid-table not that long ago.
- The club have avoided defeat in 16 of their last 18 home matches in the Spanish league (7 wins, 9 draws).
- The team have scored in 13 of their last 14 matches in this competition.
- In the current La Liga season, Elche have conceded 45 goals in total, with only Levante (46) and Sevilla (47) worse by this metric.
Potential Elche Lineup (3-5-2)*
Matias Dituro – Victor Chust, Leo Petrot, David Affengruber – German Valera, Buba Sangare, Lucas Cepeda, Federico Redondo, Aleix Febas – Martim Neto, Andre Silva.
Defenders John Donald and Hector Fort are unavailable due to injury.
Mallorca Team Form
Last week, the club earned a very valuable comeback victory over Espanyol (2:1). Before that, Mallorca somehow threw away a two-goal lead away to Osasuna (2:2), but this time the islanders turned the game on its head themselves and snatched all three points thanks to a decisive late goal. The team ended a five-match winless run in La Liga (1 draw, 4 defeats), but the most important thing is that Mallorca have left the relegation zone and climbed to 16th in the standings. At the same time, the club have now failed to keep a clean sheet for a 13th consecutive league match. Like Elche, the islanders have conceded 45 goals in total since the start of the current La Liga campaign.
- The team have gone nine away La Liga games without a win (3 draws, 6 defeats).
- Mallorca have conceded at least two goals in 8 of their last 11 matches in this competition.
- The club have won with a (+1.5) handicap in 5 of their previous 7 matches in the Spanish league.
Potential Mallorca Lineup (4-3-3)*
Leo Roman – Pablo Maffeo, Martin Valjent, Antonio Raillo, Johan Mojica – Samu Costa, Omar Mascarell, Manuel Morlanes – Mateo Joseph, Pablo Torre, Vedat Muriqi.
Defender Johan Mojica and forward Jan Virgili are suspended. Forward Takuma Asano and defender Marash Kumbulla will miss out through injury.

Elche vs Mallorca: Match Prediction
The two sides are in the lower half of the table and are posting very modest results, yet matches involving both teams often prove fairly entertaining. For instance, eight of Elche's last nine La Liga games have gone over the total, and, moreover, at least four goals were scored in six of those nine matches. The same four-goal mark was reached in five of the club's last six home matches in the Spanish league.
It is worth saying that, compared to Elche, scoring in Mallorca matches is generally slightly lower. Even so, the figures remain impressive, as fewer than three goals were scored in only two of the team's previous 11 La Liga outings. If we look at their away record, four of the team's last five La Liga matches on the road went over the total.
Prediction: Over 2.5 goals
