With the battle for survival set to headline the final matchday of the 2025-26 La Liga season, Mallorca welcome Real Oviedo to Estadio de Son Moix on Saturday evening.
While the away side have already been relegated, the hosts are one of five teams still trying to beat the drop as only two points separate 15th from 19th.

Mallorca vs. Real Oviedo key stats
- Mallorca are without a victory in three matches and have won just one of their last six games (D2, L3) heading into this weekend.
- Oviedo are also on a torrid run, having not won in six outings, five of which they have conceded the opener and go in behind at half time.
- The visitors have also drawn blanks in each of their most recent four outings, music to the ears of a Mallorca outfit searching for a first clean sheet in four matches.

After ending matchday 29 in the bottom three following a 2-1 defeat to Elche, Mallorca went unbeaten in five of their next six matches, collecting 11 points from a possible 18 to move themselves outside the relegation zone.
However, Martin Demichelis's men have since suffered back-to-back defeats to Getafe and, most recently, Levante by a combined score of 5-1, leaving them once again embroiled in what promises to be a frenetic battle for survival.
With the two teams just above them in the standings—Girona and Elche—facing each other, Los Piratas have the opportunity to leapfrog both. However, a win or draw for Elche could complicate matters, particularly if Osasuna and Levante also avoid defeat.
Either way, Saturday's hosts must claim maximum points from their own assignment to stand any chance of survival. Only Elche have collected a greater percentage of their points on home turf than Mallorca's 76.9%.
Having lost Martin Valjent to injury moments before Mojica was sent off against Levante, Mallorca now face key decisions in defence as they look to complete a last-gasp rescue mission.
Back in the top flight after a 25-year absence, Real Oviedo understandably found the climb too steep and became the first team to be relegated earlier this month, following a goalless stalemate with Getafe that left them 10 points adrift of safety with three games to play.
That was the second of four consecutive matches in which Los Azules failed to score—a lack of cutting edge that must be addressed if they are to mount an immediate return to La Liga.
However, that will not be under Guillermo Almada, as the Uruguayan recently announced his departure despite being offered the chance to remain in charge for next season's Segunda Division campaign.
Still searching for a first away victory in seven outings, Saturday's visitors will look to end an underwhelming campaign on a high note—and perhaps drag their hosts down with them.

Whispers predicts: Mallorca 2-0 Real Oviedo
Mallorca have not beaten Real Oviedo since 2019, but they remain unbeaten in the last six meetings between the sides. With so much at stake, we are tipping the hosts to secure a crucial victory at odds of 1.45.
A solid defence would provide Mallorca with a strong platform to build on, and Demichelis's men will back themselves to shut out an Oviedo side struggling for goals. As such, backing BTTS – No at 1.70 could prove shrewd.
Vedat Muriqi has been Mallorca's go-to man on the big occasions this season. The striker has netted four times in his last four home appearances and is priced at 1.80 to score on Saturday—a bet that looks good value.
> Mallorca to win at 1.45 | Likelihood: Probable
> BTTS – No at 1.70 | Likelihood: Probable
> Vedat Muriqi to score anytime at 1.80 | Likelihood: Probable
