Mallorca opens the twelfth day of the League in Mendizorrosis in a match that will take him to fourth position if he wins it or, which amounts to the same thing, is equivalent to sleep in champion position. However, it won’t be easy. Opposite you will find a team of Alavés particularly motivated to leave behind a series of five consecutive defeats in the League which has already been interrupted with the Cup victory against Compostela. Get lost will present new things to the eleven “in search of hunger and freshness”, as he had planned yesterday at the press conference, and he suggests that this could mean the debut in the Portuguese Chiquinho elevenwho so far has only played a few minutes in the clash against Espanyol in Cornellà.
Another predictable change will be that of the goalkeeper, following the routine that the coach usually performs when the team plays two games in the same week. So it would be Ibiza Leo Román the one who would occupy the sticksleaving on this occasion Greif on the bench As for the extent of the rest of the modifications, we will have to wait to know the alignment.

Luis Garcia SquareFor his part, he took advantage of his appearance yesterday before the media to praise what his former team was like for almost two seasons, and which he predicted that “It will definitely be from the middle of the table. Defensively, they are beastly, they are the second team with the fewest goals scored. We see them playing and it’s very difficult to get your hands on them. All the results are very short, very close, with few goals,… because defensively they are very, very strong. Physically especially, apart from the attitude they have, which is very positive.
Alavés have called up 23 players for this match, with almost the entire squad available except Hugo Novoa, García Plaza will therefore have a choice.

The meeting will be led by the Asturian Gonzalez Fuertes, which caused a huge scandal last season during the League match against Real Sociedad in Palma, during which expelled Raíllo and Van der Heyden. González Fuertes is a specialist in mistakes against Mallorca, and in addition to the big ones, like the penalty he awarded in favor of Betis for a foul committed outside the area. The Madrid player completes the duo From Cerro Grandewho will be in charge of VAR.
