Espanyol vs Mallorca Betting Preview
Espanyol
Espanyol, who finished 14th last term, will be eyeing up a top-half finish this season. They find themselves in 13th position after 22 games played, winning five, drawing nine and losing eight. Overall, they have netted 27 and shipped 33 and have a -6 goal difference.
After three La Liga games without a win, last weekend’s narrow victory at Elche was just what the doctor ordered for the White and Blue. The game turned on Jose Carmona’s red card, and Sergi Darder netted in injury time to give Diego Martinez’s men a precious three points.
Espanyol started the season with three home defeats on the spin, but their form at RCDE Stadium has improved dramatically over the past few months. They lost 3-2 to Real Sociedad in the last one, but that was just their second home reverse since September.
Espanyol’s victory at Elche last weekend was crucial in their quest for La Liga survival. They are now two points above 18th-place Cadiz. Parakeets still have a lot of work to do, but the Espanyol roster looks more than capable of ensuring survival this season.
Another three points from this one would be massive for Espanyol. Below you will find our La Liga picks and the latest Espanyol vs Mallorca odds.
Mallorca
Mallorca sailed a little too close to the wind in terms of La Liga’s bottom three last term, but the Pirates are having a far better season this time around. With a third of the season left to play, Mallorca are sitting pretty in the top half of Spain’s top table and look a good bet for a top-ten finish.
Javier Aguirre’s boys are currently in eighth place in La Liga, just three points away from the European spots. They have picked up an impressive nine wins along the way, drawing four and losing nine of the other 13.
Mallorca have been in patchy form of late, however. They head into this weekend’s fixture having won four and lost four of their last eight La Liga games. However, those four losses are their only reverses since October.
Mallorca’s away form will be a slight concern for Aguirre. They secured four away wins in all competitions on the bounce from October to December, but the Palma club have not won on their travels in La Liga since. In fact, they have suffered successive away defeats in the league to Getafe, Osasuna, Real Sociedad, Cadiz and Sevilla.
Since a 2-0 win at Villarreal in November, Mallorca have failed to score away from home in La Liga. In their last one, they lost 2-0 at Sevilla. In stark contrast, they have won five La Liga games on the spin at the Estadi Mallorca Son Moix.
If Mallorca have any aspirations of breaking into the European spots in this season’s La Liga, their away form needs to improve drastically. They have taken just 11 points from 11 away games. Nevertheless, can the Vermilions pick up a rare away victory on the weekend? Read on for the best Mallorca odds.
Espanyol vs Mallorca Betting Picks
Recent meetings between the pair have been tight tussles. The last seven have either been tied or settled by the solitary goal. The reverse meeting at Estadi Mallorca Son Moix ended in a 1-1 draw – Lazo rescued a point for Espanyol after Vedat Muriqi had opened the scoring just after halftime.
On paper, these two soccer teams look pretty hard to split. Mallorca are way ahead in the standings, but their form away from home has been poor, while Espanyol have been solid on home turf of late.
We fancy the teams to cancel each other out at the RCDE Stadium this weekend. Check out the tempting soccer betting odds of +220 for the draw and under 2.5 goals. Also, under 2.5 goals alone is worth taking a punt on at -250.
