Real Mallorca Preview: Can They Break the Draw Streak?

Real Mallorca have been resilient but frustrated in recent weeks. Under manager Jago Arrasate, they sit within the top seven despite securing just one win in their last 10 matches across all competitions.

Their most recent performance saw them battle to a 1-1 draw against Athletic Club at San Mamés, marking their third consecutive draw since their victory over Las Palmas last month.

Mallorca have built their season on defensive solidity but have struggled for attacking fluidity. Striker Vedat Muriqi remains their biggest goal threat, but service to him has been inconsistent.

Real Mallorca Team News

Mallorca will be missing key defender Jose Manuel Copete, who is serving a suspension. Meanwhile, young winger Robert Navarro remains sidelined with a hamstring injury.

📝 Predicted XI (4-2-3-1)

Greif; Pablo Maffeo, Valjent, Antonio Raillo, Johan Mojica; Costa, Omar Mascarell; Asano, Dani Rodriguez, Sergi Darder; Muriqi

Unavailable: Copete (Suspended), Robert Navarro (Injured)

Espanyol Preview: Moving Up the Table

Espanyol’s early struggles this season seem to be behind them, with only one defeat in their last nine matches. Manolo González’s team has tightened up defensively and started collecting crucial points.

In their last game, Espanyol came agonizingly close to a win in the Catalan derby, but Girona equalized in the 88th minute via a penalty, forcing a frustrating 1-1 draw.

While they lack firepower up front, Espanyol have become a well-organized side, capable of grinding out results.

Espanyol Team News

Espanyol’s injury list is growing, with Pablo Ramón joining Fernando Pacheco and Jose Gragera on the sidelines.

Predicted XI (4-1-4-1)

Joan Garcia; El Hilali, Kumbulla, Leandro Cabrera, Carlos Romero; Pol Lozano; Jofre Carreras, Kral, Urko Gonzalez, Javi Puado; Roberto Fernandez

Unavailable: Fernando Pacheco (Injured), Pablo Ramon (Injured), Jose Gragera (Injured)

Real Mallorca vs Espanyol: Key Battles

🔹 Vedat Muriqi vs Leandro Cabrera – Mallorca’s target man will look to outmuscle Espanyol’s sturdy center-back.

🔹 Dani Rodríguez vs Pol Lozano – The midfield battle will be crucial in dictating the game’s tempo.

🔹 Javi Puado vs Pablo Maffeo – Espanyol’s winger will try to stretch Mallorca’s defense against a tenacious right-back.

Real Mallorca vs Espanyol Prediction

Mallorca have been tough to beat, but their lack of cutting edge means they often drop points. Espanyol, similarly, have become defensively compact, but they also struggle for goals.

Both teams have scored fewer than one goal per game this season, and with neither side wanting to lose, this could be a cagey encounter.

Prediction: 1-1 Draw

Betting Tip: Under 2.5 Goals
