Real Valladolid started the season with 3 consecutive away matches. They showed versatile performances in the earlier match weeks. However, in a game day 12 fixture, they are going to take on Real Mallorca. It is also going to be their 5th home match of the campaign. Jose Zorilla Stadium will host the upper mentioned clash. The White and Violets will come into this fixture following their trip to the Camp Nou, where they faced current league champion FC Barcelona. In addition to this, they will head towards the Mendizorrotza Stadium to play Deportivo Alaves in their very next fixture.
On the contrary, Real Mallorca will play their 5th road game of the campaign. They will have this trip to the Jose Zorrilla following their home game against Osasuna at the Estadi de Son Moix Stadium. Nevertheless, they will once again head back to the home to take part in an MW-13 fixture against Villarreal CF. The Vermilions made a shaky start to their away campaign by tasting defeat against Valencia CF and will be looking to not to repeat such kind of performances.

Match Preview: One may label it as the battle between the minnows. However, this match is going to be crucial for both
Although latest ever meeting between the two sides ended in a draw, Valladolid comfortably leads the race of the recent head to heads. Among the 5 latest meetings, they have managed to win on 4 occasions. In fact, they have dominated them both in home as well as away fixtures. The latest two games held by the Jose Zorilla Stadium were won by the Pucelanos.
Above all, my pick for this game is a narrow victory for the home side.
