Deportivo Alavés - RCD Mallorca tickets for the LaLiga clash at Mendizorrotza in Vitoria - key points before matchday

Looking for tickets for Deportivo Alavés - RCD Mallorca? Here you can explore ticket options for this important LaLiga clash in Vitoria, with useful context on team form, the battle for points and what to expect around Mendizorrotza before matchday

A clash for a calmer end to the season in Vitoria

The Saturday slot in Vitoria brings a match that on paper looks like a lower-half showdown, but in importance carries far more weight than an ordinary spring round. RCD Mallorca enter this encounter with 34 points from 31 league matches and sit in 15th place, while Deportivo Alavés are on 33 points and stand just above the relegation zone, in 17th position. The gap is minimal, and that is why the stakes are clear: the winner gets breathing room and a better starting position for the run-in, while the loser opens up an uncomfortable week of pressure and calculation. Tickets for this match have been in demand among supporters.

Alavés host Mallorca after a run that has restored their belief that they can get out of danger without last-round drama. The Vitoria side drew 2:2 with Osasuna, then produced a major comeback and won 4:3 away to Celta, then drew 3:3 away to Real Sociedad, and in between also took a point against Villarreal CF. Mallorca, on the other hand, arrive with perhaps even more eye-catching results: 2:2 away to Osasuna, 2:1 against RCD Espanyol de Barcelona, a 1:2 defeat away to Elche CF, and then two home wins that raised the mood around the club - 2:1 against Real Madrid and 3:0 against Rayo Vallecano. That is enough for this match to be read not only as a relegation battle, but also as a meeting between two sides that have felt they can hit their rhythm at exactly the right moment.

What is really at stake for Alavés and Mallorca

For Alavés, the equation is simple: home ground and this kind of schedule demand a reaction in the stands and on the pitch. On its official channels, the club has already described the match against Mallorca as a clash of "direct rivals with the same goal", which says enough about how seriously these 90 minutes are being viewed. If Alavés win, they move above Mallorca and enter the next block of matches with more air. If they do not win, every following match carries added nerves because the relegation zone at this stage of the season can be measured in one bad evening.

Mallorca have a different kind of pressure, but not a smaller one. After a difficult period and a change on the bench, the team have picked up points in recent weeks that have given them room to breathe again. The problem is that an away trip to Vitoria can very quickly wipe out that work. That is why this match for the visitors is not only a chance to move away from the danger zone, but also a test of character: can they confirm the big home win over Real Madrid and the convincing display against Rayo at a stadium where very few teams feel comfortable.

The bench, the form and the men who carry the match

At the beginning of March, Alavés made a strong move and brought in Quique Sánchez Flores, a coach with vast experience in Spanish football. The very first weeks under his leadership have already brought a visible shift: the team have become tougher without the ball, but also braver when it is time to attack space. Four goals scored away to Celta and three away to Real Sociedad are no small thing for a side that had long lived on the edge of every match. In that picture, Lucas Boyé and Toni Martínez stand out in particular, while Antonio Blanco provides an important rhythm in midfield, and he is also among the league leaders in the number of interceptions.At Mallorca, the biggest change is on the bench. Jagoba Arrasate is no longer the coach, and the team have been taken over by Martín Demichelis until the end of the season, with an option to extend. In such situations, simpler football and a clearer hierarchy are often sought, and Mallorca have shown exactly that in recent weeks. The ball is delivered more often and more quickly towards Vedat Muriqi, and around him the importance of players who can win the second ball and attack the rebound is growing - Sergi Darder, Samu, Jan Virgili or Takuma Asano. Seats in the stands are disappearing quickly because the home supporters know very well how much one early goal can change the tone of the entire afternoon.

Players who most easily decide matches like this

If pure output is considered, Mallorca have the biggest name on the pitch. Vedat Muriqi is among the league’s leading scorers with 21 goals and is the kind of player who can change a match even when he is not dominant for 90 minutes. One cross, one aerial duel or one ball to the far post is enough for him. Alongside him, Sergi Darder is important as the link between midfield and the final third, while Johan Mojica and Pablo Maffeo provide width and depth when Mallorca attack down the flanks.

Alavés do not have one central figure like Muriqi, but they do have several players who can decide the match in different ways. Lucas Boyé is among the club’s best scorers this season, Toni Martínez provides goals both from the starting lineup and from the bench, and Carles Aleñá is among the most useful creators of the final pass. Antonio Blanco is the player because of whom Alavés can keep the match under control when it turns into a hard rhythm with many duels. In matches like these, where nerves are often just as important as quality, that kind of midfielder can be decisive.


  • Key names for Alavés: Lucas Boyé, Toni Martínez, Antonio Blanco, Carles Aleñá

  • Key names for Mallorca: Vedat Muriqi, Sergi Darder, Samu, Johan Mojica, Takuma Asano

  • The number that must not be ignored: Muriqi has reached 21 league goals and enters the match as one of the most dangerous forwards of the season

  • The number that speaks about Alavés’s style: Antonio Blanco is among the league leaders in interceptions, which says a lot about the aggression of the home midfield



Tactical picture of the match

This is not a match for romance, but for patience and correct decisions. On their own ground, Alavés will try to impose energy, with high intensity in duels and a great deal of work down the flanks. The home side will look for situations in which they can deliver the ball into the penalty area early or force Mallorca into a mistake in the first phase of build-up. An opponent arriving with Muriqi demands maximum concentration from the centre-backs and midfielders, so it is not hard to expect Alavés to build a large part of their plan around closing down the second ball after the first aerial duel.Mallorca will probably be calmer on the ball than they were during part of the winter, but they will not shy away from direct football. Demichelis’s team make sense when they survive the first wave and then drag the match into a rhythm of set pieces, longer attacks and crosses towards Muriqi. It is also dangerous for the home side that Mallorca do not need ten chances to score. If Alavés push their full-backs too far forward, space opens up behind them for Asano and the players attacking in semi-counterattacks. The expectation is therefore very clear: many duels, less space between the lines and huge value in the first goal.

Absences and squad depth

For Alavés, Carlos Protesoni, Jon Pacheco, Toni Martínez and Víctor Parada are listed in the available injury overviews as problems, although the status of some of those names may change closer to the match. For Mallorca, Vedat Muriqi, Toni Lato, Kumbulla and Raíllo have been listed as doubtful or unavailable at different stages of problems during the season. That is exactly why it is important for this match to follow the final club announcements and the match sheet on the day of the game, because one return or one absence in a clash like this can completely change the arrangement of duels across the pitch.


  • Alavés - names that have appeared in reports on problems: Carlos Protesoni, Jon Pacheco, Toni Martínez, Víctor Parada

  • Mallorca - names that have appeared in reports on problems: Vedat Muriqi, Toni Lato, Kumbulla, Raíllo

  • Practical for the supporter: final lineup information is worth checking on matchday, because player status changes after the last training sessions



The head-to-head meeting and the psychology of this match

The first league meeting of this season went to Mallorca, who won 1:0 on their own stadium on 27 September 2025, with the decisive goal scored by Takuma Asano. That result matters here for two reasons. The first is obvious: Mallorca know they have already found a way to leave Alavés without space and without a goal. The second is perhaps even more important for the home side: in front of their own crowd, Alavés gain extra motivation because they have a concrete sporting debt to settle, and not only a general feeling of revenge.

Matches of this type rarely turn into an open festival of chances. More often they are decided by details - a set piece, a rebound, a centre-back’s wrong judgement or one bad exit from the block. That is why the atmosphere in the stands also carries extra weight. Mendizorrotza is a stadium where the crowd stand close to the pitch, and when the home side enter the first fifteen minutes aggressively, the pressure is felt physically. It is worth securing tickets in time.

Mendizorrotza and what awaits the supporter coming to Vitoria

Mendizorrotza is one of the oldest stadiums in Spanish professional football. It was opened in 1924 and holds 19,840 spectators, and it is precisely that combination of age, compactness and the closeness of the stands to the pitch that makes it very uncomfortable for visitors. This is not a stadium with huge distances and sterile corridors, but a place where the match is watched close to the action, so even an ordinary duel by the touchline brings a reaction from the entire stand. Ahead of this match, the club additionally stressed how important home support is, and reports on stadium occupancy during the season show that Mendizorrotza has been a very lively place this year.


  • Stadium: Mendizorrotza

  • Address: Paseo de Cervantes, s/n, Vitoria-Gasteiz

  • Capacity: 19,840 seats

  • Opened: 1924

  • Experience: compact stadium, stands close to the pitch, plenty of noise in high-pressure matches



For away and neutral supporters, the good news is that the stadium is very close to the city centre. Tourist information from the city of Vitoria-Gasteiz highlights the medieval core, green urban zones and an easy pace of movement as one of the city’s main strengths, so going to the match can be combined with a normal daytime visit without long transfers. It is a city that does not require complicated logistics to fit in both football and a walk.

How to get there and what to watch out for on matchday

For arrival by public transport, it is useful to know that the city transport system also has a special service for Alavés matches. City services mention a special bus service from El Boulevard 45 and 35 minutes before kickoff, and after the end the buses leave from the stops by the BEI line stop Mendizorrotza and travel towards El Boulevard. In addition, the BEI line itself has a Mendizorrotza stop and regular departures throughout the day, which is the simplest option for most visitors who do not want to look for parking around the stadium.

Coming by car requires a little more caution. Since the 2025/2026 season, the city of Vitoria-Gasteiz closes the surface parking area at Plaza Amadeo García de Salazar during football matches at Mendizorrotza, for security reasons. This concerns around 500 spaces that cannot be counted on during the match slot, so it is smarter to arrive earlier and use alternative parking areas or leave the car farther from the stadium zone and finish the trip by bus or on foot. Anyone going by car at the last moment can easily lose the most time on precisely that detail.The exact opening time of the entrances for this match should be checked through the club’s final notices on the day of the encounter, because the publicly visible announcement confirms the date and kickoff time, but does not provide a reliable universal rule for every match. It is sensible to arrive earlier than usual, especially because of the expected congestion around the approaches and because in recent days the club has additionally been working on engaging younger supporters for this clash. Ticket sales for this match are under way.

What kind of atmosphere to expect

This is not a match in which the crowd wait for something to happen, but a match in which the crowd try to help something happen. Home supporters in Vitoria understand the table context very well and know that every duel against a direct competitor is practically worth double. If Alavés start the match well, Mendizorrotza will very quickly raise the tempo and turn the encounter into a hard, loud and nervous battle. If Mallorca calm the initial pressure and force the home side to chase without solutions, the atmosphere can turn into the kind of silence that away teams love and use.

For the spectator coming to the stadium, the most attractive part of this match is precisely that clear sporting tension. There is no hiding behind big names or European calculations. Everything is stripped bare: two clubs, a small points gap, a striker in great form on one side, a coach who has changed the face of the home side on the other, and a stadium where every good tackle is rewarded like a goal. That is why Alavés - Mallorca carries far more weight than an ordinary Saturday slot at 14:00.
