Mallorca vs Espanyol: Team News and Expert Analysis
The "Son Moix" club finished last spring with 48 points, rounding out the top 10. However, current results are much more modest, especially since mid-December—they have lost the majority of their matches. Still, in the previous round, they played out an entertaining 2-2 draw with Osasuna.
The Barcelona side, after returning to La Liga in 2024 following a year in the Segunda, managed to collect 42 points, placing fourteenth due to tiebreakers. Now, they've made a sharp improvement, especially in the first half of the season, securing a place in the European zone. But after the winter break, there was a noticeable decline, with even a draw becoming a rare achievement. Even against Elche and Oviedo, they only managed to share the points.
The islanders are averaging only 1.15 goals scored per game, conceding 1.63. The Catalans, with 1.26 goals scored, concede notably more—1.48 per match.
Previous Matches: Mallorca vs Espanyol
In seven of the last eight meetings, the home side has won, with the only draw occurring at this stadium in 2022.
The hosts are expected to have the edge. However, both teams have their issues, especially defensively—a "both teams to score" bet is a reasonable option (odds: 1.94).
