Prediction: Match to end in 1-1 draw
Best Odds: 11/2
Girona and Real Mallorca will lock horns with each other in La Liga this week. The match between Michel’s side and Martín Demichelis’s team will be held at Estadi Montilivi and is scheduled to kick off at 8pm UK time on Friday.
Girona
Girona are a modest club in Spain that did exceptionally well in the 2023-24 campaign. Michel’s side finished as high as third in the La Liga table and featured in the UEFA Champions League last season.
Blanquivermells, though, ended up as low as 16th in La Liga last season and are in danger of getting relegated to the Segunda Division. Girona are 15th in the league table right now with 38 points from 33 games, four points above the bottom three.
Girona will head into the La Liga game against Real Mallorca this week on the back of a 2-1 victory over Valencia away from home in the league. It came after a 3-2 loss to Real Betis at Estadi Montilivi, which followed a 1-1 draw with Real Madrid away from home at Estadio Bernabeu in La Liga.
Team News:
Girona are likely to line up in a 4-2-3-1 formation against Real Mallorca. Paulo Gazzaniga will be in goal and will have Arnau Martinez, Vitor Reis, Daley Blind and Alex Moreno in front of him in defence. Ivan Martin and Axel Witsel will be the two holding midfielders. Viktor Tsygankov, Thomas Lemar and Azzedine Ounahi will be the three attacking midfielders. Claudio Echeverri will lead the line for Girona.
Real Mallorca
Real Mallorca are a modest club in La Liga who tend to finish in and around mid-table. Los Piratas did quite well last season. They ended up as high as 10th in the standings and must have been pleased with how the campaign panned out.
Things are looking rather bleak for Mallorca at the moment. Martín Demichelis’s side are currently 17th in the La Liga table with 35 points from 33 games, just a point above the bottom three.
Mallorca will head into the La Liga game against Girona this week on the back of a 2-1 defeat to Alaves away from home in the league. It came after a 1-1 draw with Valencia at Estadi Mallorca Son Moix in La Liga, which followed a 3-0 win against Rayo Vallecano at home in the league.
