Preview: Mallorca vs. Espanyol - prediction, team news, lineups
Mar 13, 2025
European-chasing Mallorca will be bidding to return to winning ways in Spain's top flight when they continue their campaign with a home fixture against relegation-threatened Espanyol on Saturday afternoon.
Mallorca are seventh in the La Liga table, four points behind sixth-place Real Betis, while Espanyol occupy 15th, two points outside of the relegation zone.
Match preview
Mallorca are very much in the mix for a European spot at this stage of the season, with a record of 10 wins, seven draws and 10 defeats from 27 matches bringing them 37 points, which is enough for seventh spot, only four points behind sixth-placed Real Betis.
Los Piratas finished 15th in La Liga last season, while they have not been higher than eighth since 2009-10, so there is plenty on the line this season, and the team will bring a five-game unbeaten run into the contest.
Just one victory has arrived during that period, though, which came at home to Las Palmas in the middle of last month.
Indeed, four of their last five games have ended in a share of the spoils, including a 1-1 draw against Athletic Bilbao last time out, and finding the back of the net has been an issue this season, managing only 26 in their 27 matches.
Jagoba Arrasate's side have picked up 20 points from their 14 home league matches this season, and they will be welcoming an Espanyol outfit that have just one victory to show on their travels in Spain's top flight this term.
