Mallorca vs Girona Prediction & Match Preview
Girona vs Mallorca: Copa del Rey Quarterfinal Preview
Girona, riding a wave of 14 wins and 3 draws in their last 17 outings across competitions, are the overwhelming favorites heading into their Copa del Rey quarterfinal clash against Mallorca on Wednesday.
The visitors, fresh off a stunning 5-1 demolition of Sevilla in La Liga, sit atop the table and aim to continue their relentless march towards silverware.
Mallorca, however, are no pushovers. Despite occupying a modest 15th position in the league, they are unbeaten in their last four matches and boast a formidable home record, having lost just one of their ten La Liga fixtures at Estadi Mallorca Son Moix this season.
Previous Encounters and Goal-Filled Matches
Previous encounters between these sides have been nothing short of thrilling, with goals flowing freely. The most recent clash, a 5-3 Girona victory in September, was an eight-goal spectacle, and both teams found the net in each of the last three H2H matches.
Girona’s Dominance and Offensive Prowess
Despite Mallorca’s strong home form and recent upturn, Girona’s sheer momentum and offensive prowess make them the clear favorites. Their ruthless display against Sevilla showcased their firepower, and their consistent winning form across competitions suggests they won’t be easily contained.
Therefore, the safe bet is on an away win, with odds of 2.25 offering decent value. Additionally, considering the historical goalfests between these teams and the attacking intent of both sides, the “Both Teams To Score” option at 1.95 looks highly tempting.
Predicting a Tight Affair and Possible Upset
However, with Mallorca’s defensive resilience at home and the unpredictable nature of cup competitions, the possibility of an upset cannot be entirely discounted. Expect a tight and tense affair, with Girona’s superior firepower likely proving the decisive factor in the end.
So, will Girona continue their fairytale run or will Mallorca spring a surprise on their home turf? Tune in on Wednesday to find out as this Copa del Rey clash promises to be a nail-biter.
