Quotes
"They started with a lot of energy and created problems for us with long balls," Bilbao manager Ernesto Valverde said after his side's draw against Cadiz.
"We lost possession too often without being under pressure, we didn't create dangerous situations in their box despite having a couple of clear chances.
"In the second 45 we played more in their half. But there still weren't enough chances for either side. It wasn't a great performance."
Head-to-Head
Bilbao and Mallorca drew 0-0 in their last meeting in La Liga in a match played at the Estadi Mallorca Son Moix on 3 September 2023.
As a result, the Pirates are unbeaten in their last four matches in the league against the Lions having registered one win and three successive draws.
