On Sunday evening, Real Mallorca and Girona clash at the Estadi Mallorca Son Moix in what could be a big game for both teams in La Liga.
Sealed a place in the Copa finalMallorca sealed their place in the Copa del Rey final by beating Real Sociedad in a penalty shootout on Tuesday night after a 1-1 draw.
The result will lift Mallorca as they head into this clash on the back of just one win in their previous eight games in the Spanish top flight.
The recent questionable form has seen the Islanders fall to 15th place in the table, six points above the league’s bottom three.
Mallorca’s form at Son Moix in La Liga has been poor, as they have won just one of their previous four matches on home soil. Their recent home games have been relatively low-scoring, with under 2.5 goals scored in nine of their last 13 outings.
Girona looking to build on win over Rayo VallecanoThe Catalan club ended a three-game winless run last time out, as the visitors recorded a 3-0 win over Rayo Vallecano on Monday night. The win moved Girona back up to second place in the table, six points adrift of league leaders Real Madrid.
The visitor's recent La Liga games have been relatively high-scoring, with over 2.5 goals scored in four of their previous six matches in the Spanish top-flight.
Girona have suffered back-to-back away defeats in La Liga. However, those losses were at Real Madrid and Athletic Club. The defeat in Madrid ended a ten-game unbeaten away run in the Spanish top-flight, though.
Michel’s team have been involved in many high-scoring away games of late in La Liga, with over 2.5 goals scored in five of their previous eight matches.
What am I backing?Mallorca will be on a high from making the Copa final. However, I believe Girona will come out on top in this encounter.
