Mallorca will be looking to continue their impressive start to the 2021-22 La Liga campaign when they welcome Espanyol to Visit Mallorca Stadium on Friday night.

The home side have picked up four points from their first two matches of the season to sit fifth in the table, while Espanyol have opened their campaign with draws against Osasuna and Villarreal.

We say: Mallorca 1-1 Espanyol

Both of these sides have shown plenty of positives in the early stages of the season, and we are expecting a tight match on Friday night. Mallorca have home advantage, but Espanyol have looked strong and resolute this term, and we can see the pair sharing the spoils in a 1-1 draw here.

Valencia will be looking to continue their encouraging start to the 2021-22 La Liga campaign when they welcome an out-of-form Alaves outfit to Mestalla on Friday night.

The home side have picked up four points from their first two league matches of the season, but Alaves are yet to get off the mark this term and currently sit 19th in the table on zero points.

We say: Valencia 1-0 Alaves

Valencia's problems have not evaporated despite a positive start to the season, but we can see Los Che moving into seven points in the league on Friday. Alaves picked up a point at Mestalla last term, but they have struggled early on in 2021-22, and we are predicting a narrow home success here.
