LaLiga – Espanyol – Mallorca on Match-day 29

Sunday LaLiga action from Rcde Stadium, as Espanyol take on Mallorca.

Mallorca currently sit in sixteenth place as they travel to twelfth placed Espanyol.

Espanyol arrive at this meeting, having secured 33 points so far this season

Espanyol will be hoping for a win, following a disappointing 1-1 away draw against Levante in their last game.

Also, with no win in eight of their last nine games now for Espanyol, there is minimal fear for opposition teams that face them. Their position is twelfth in the League and they have 33 points, that is, 8W, 11L and 9D having won eight fixtures, drawn nine matches, and lost 11 fixtures.

Playing at home, Espanyol have won seven meetings, drawn four games, and lost three meetings.

A win in this fixture would take Espanyol’s points to 36 in the League.

It’s 26 points so far for Mallorca this season, going into this match

Luis Garcia will not wish to see his side lose three matches in a row, so they will doubtless go into this match, determined to change their recent, disappointing run of form.

Also, Mallorca need to find a way to generate wins on a consistent basis, as they’ve recorded nine losses in their last 11 fixtures. They currently stand sixteenth in the League, with 26 points for a total of 6 wins, 14 losses and 8 draws having won six meetings, drawn eight games, and lost 14 matches.

With a poor record on the road, which amounts to two wins, two draws, and nine losses, it is hard to predict a positive outcome for Mallorca as they travel once more.

Winning this fixture will see Mallorca on 29 points.

Mallorca are missing two players through injury or illness. This will affect Luis Garcia’s selection choices significantly.

Espanyol v Mallorca – Head-to-Heads.

Regarding their historical duels when these two sides meet, a draw is never usually the expected outcome. In the past 38 matches, Mallorca have won 17 victories and Espanyol 15 wins. Their most recent encounter in this competition Budgerigars secured a 2-1 home win.
