Valencia coach Ronald Koeman is looking for an all-too-rare home success when his side welcome Real Mallorca to the Mestalla on Sunday.
The air of despondency surrounding the fallen Spanish giants this season has been lifted in the last 10 days following impressive back-to-back 3-2 victories over Barcelona and Real Madrid.
However, with the team in 11th place in the Primera Liga standings and only seven points above the relegation zone, Koeman knows there is still plenty of work to do if they are to avoid a nervy end to the campaign.
One of the areas Koeman is looking to improve on is Valencia's form at the Mestalla, where Los Che have won just four of their 14 league games this season and lost seven - a record which is the second-worst in the division behind bottom club Levante.
"There have been many games at home where we have lost too many points. We have to address this situation and these are three very important points," said Koeman ahead of the visit of Mallorca.
"Despite the two wins against great teams we need to be very focused on this battle.
"It is important to have the same attitude that we have had recently and this must be the path to follow."
Valencia defender Emiliano Moretti added: "The game against Mallorca will be very important. There are a lot of points left to move up the table."
The good news for Valencia is that they have never lost at home to Mallorca in the league, winning 15 of their 20 meetings against the Balearic Island side down the years.
The bad news though is that Mallorca defender Jose Carlos Nunes is determined to see his side end that record this weekend.
"The statistics are not favourable that's true, but they are only numbers and statistics are there to be broken," he said.
"We will try to finish the game with the three points but we know it will not be easy due to the way Valencia are now.
"We hope to make history on Sunday."
Mallorca have lost just twice in the league since the winter break and last weekend's 1-0 win over Deportivo La Coruna saw them move five points clear of the drop zone.
However, Gregorio Manzano's men now face a daunting run of games against La Liga superpowers Valencia, Real Madrid and Sevilla, with the possibility of being dragged back into the relegation dogfight if things go against them.
"They are three very difficult battles, but we must think of each game individually," Nunes said.
"We have 37 points and if we beat Valencia then everything will look well regarding our chances of survival. We know what we are playing for and we will try to play a serious game and win the match."
Mallorca defender Sergio Ballesteros is suspended for Sunday, but Ariel Ibagaza and Angelos Basinas return from bans, while for Valencia, Vicente Rodriguez, Carlos Marchena, Nikola Zigic, Santiago Canizares, David Albelda and Miguel Angel Angulo are all missing for various reasons.
