REF’s picks

RCD Mallorca hold a rock-solid defensive record that makes them tough to break down, conceding just twice in six matches so far. Almeria arrive in strong attacking form but have looked less convincing on their travels, losing twice away from home already. With both sides missing key personnel due to international call-ups, home advantage could tip a tight contest in Mallorca's favour.

1. 1Mallorca boast the joint-stingiest defence in La Liga 2 with only two goals conceded.
2. 2Almeria have struggled away from home, suffering defeats on the road at Tenerife and Sabadell.
3. 3Absences of key players like Martin Valjent and Zito Luvumbo on international duty could disrupt Mallorca's rhythm.
