Alaves and Mallorca meet in a high-pressure relegation battle in La Liga, with both sides still fighting to secure survival as the season reaches its final stretch.
The hosts come into this fixture on the back of a 2-1 defeat to Real Madrid, a respectable result on paper but one that extended their poor run to just one win in ten league matches.
Since Quique Sanchez Flores took charge in early March, there have been signs of improvement, yet they remain stuck in the relegation zone.
Their home form is also a concern, with just one victory in their last seven league games on their own turf, making this a must-win encounter if they are to climb out of danger.
Mallorca, meanwhile, have responded well since Martín Demichelis’ arrival in February, losing only once in their last six matches.
However, they are far from safe on the table, sitting just two points above Alaves heading into the weekend clash.
Their midweek 1-1 draw with Valencia, after surrendering a lead, means there is still work to do to distance themselves from relegation.
Securing all three points here would be a massive step toward survival, but their away record is a major concern, with just one win on the road all season.

Whispers predicts: Alaves 1-1 Mallorca
Alaves have seen a flurry of goals in their recent fixtures, including two high-scoring draws against Osasuna and Real Sociedad.
Their inability to keep clean sheets, combined with Mallorca's recent offensive resurgence, suggests that both teams will find the back of the net in this encounter.
The bookmakers have tipped the home side as slight favourites at 2.20; a draw is currently valued at 3.20, which offers excellent value considering the recent form of the hosts, while a Mallorca victory is considered at 3.25 odds.
The odds for under 2.5 goals are set at 1.66, which is consistent with the historical low-scoring nature of this specific fixture at the Mendizorroza.
Both teams to score (yes) is a strong proposition at 1.95, while a first-half draw result is given at 2.05 odds for those seeking a higher payout.
