Valencia CF VS RCD Mallorca

This La Liga match will be played at 4:00 a.m. Beijing time on December 20, 2025, with Valencia hosting Real Mallorca. Based on user input, this prediction will be analysed for the Under 2.25 total goals market, which corresponds to under 2.25 goals at 1.01 and over 2.25 goals at 0.84.

Valencia's recent style of play has been conservative, with low goal efficiency and acceptable defense, with a total of 2 goals or less in many league games. As a typical away defensive counter-attacking team, Real Mallorca is usually more cautious in tactics when playing away, with solid defense first, and its game scenes are often duller and the number of goals scored is small. The recent game data of both teams supports a high probability of small score results.

Looking back at the past head-to-head records between the two teams, matches between Valencia and Real Mallorca are usually not goal-contests. In the last few meetings, most of the total goals have failed to exceed 2 goals, showing a clear "small ball" trend. This shows that under the tactical game and mutual restraint of the two teams, the game is prone to stalemate, and the absolute scoring opportunities created are relatively limited.

are very informative for the odds of "under 2.25". Under 2.25 goals are as low as 1.01, which usually means that the market and data model are extremely optimistic that the total number of goals in this game will not exceed 2 goals, and the probability of playing a "small ball" is considered very high. The odds over 2.25 goals are 0.84, and the payout risk is low, further confirming the market's strong expectations for small scores.

Based on the above factors, the recent form of both teams tends to defend and inefficient attack, and the historical head-to-head also shows a clear small-ball pattern. Combined with the clear indication given by the market odds - very low odds of under 2.25 goals (1.01), the total number of goals predicted in this match will be less than 2.25 goals, that is, the most likely result is 0, 1 or 2 goals in total. The course of the game can be more cautious, and both sides will face greater resistance on the offensive end.

It is important to emphasize that while data analysis strongly supports the "under 2.25 goals" direction, there are unpredictable variables in any sporting event, such as early red cards, unexpected mistakes, or individual player flashes of inspiration that can change the course of the game. Odds of 1.01 imply a very low rate of return, which is not ideal from an investment value perspective. It is recommended to treat this analysis as a pure pre-match assessment and look at the results rationally.
