Saturday Football Tips: Cash in on Cavani to spark Valencia

Edinson Cavani of Valencia
Edinson Cavani can score again for Valencia against Mallorca

Saturday's best bet sees Paul Higham head to La Liga where Edinson Cavani is backed to continue his scoring streak.

  • Cavani has scored three goals in his last two games
  • Mallorca have won just one point after going 1-0 down
  • Mallorca have a league-most 39 yellow cards

Three draws in four has seen Valencia's progress stuttered in La Liga, but out-of-form Mallorca offer them a great chance to kick-start their challenge for Europe.

More worrying for Valencia is that fact that they were ahead in all three of those draws, against sides all below them in the table, but threw away the points that would've seen them in the top four heading into the weekend.

Mallorca don't seem to be the kind of team that can extend that frustrating run, with three defeats in four, one away win so far and just seven goals in 10 games this campaign.

And perhaps crucially for Valencia, if they score first they should wrap up the win as Mallorca have recovered just one point after conceding the first goal this season.

At 8/11, Valencia aren't the worst price in the world for a home win, certainly good enough to start off tonight's Bet Builder.

Valencia have scored exactly twice in their last four home games against Mallorca, and this time they have Edinson Cavani is flying form having scored three goals in his last two games.

He's 6/4 to score for a third game running and the Uruguayan is well worth backing to maintain that form now he's on a hot streak.

We can't talk about a Valencia game without mentioning the incredible run of red cards seen in their recent games - with eight being brandished in their last seven games.

It's 13/8 on another red card being shown here - Valencia are more likely to see it having had four to Mallorca's one this season.

It may be a bit of stretch though, and more likely is Mallroca to pile up the yellows as they lead La Liga with 39 after 10 games.

They're 4/5 to have the most cards in the match with Antonio Sanchez 21/10 to collect his fifth booking of the season.
