Girona are in excellent form with 10 points in their last 5 games. Among other things, thanks to the spectacular victory over Real Madrid (4:2) in the 31st round. Thanks to this, she managed to reduce the loss to the European Cup zone to 5 points and theoretically can qualify for the top six. However, in practice, the Girondins are unlikely to be able to impose a fight on Betis or Athletic. They are doing well in the last period (xg = 1.35 – 5th place), but they consistently bring funny goals (xga = 1.36).
Mallorca are unlikely to pose a serious threat at this stage of the season, especially away from home where they have amassed just 34% of their points. Javier Aguirre’s team has solved all their major tasks in Example and will finish the season without much tournament motivation.
The most important weapon of the “islanders” is a reliable defense game. The expected number of goals conceded (xga = 1.11) puts them in the top five of the league. But in this encounter we should expect an experimental combination of players in the rearguard. Due to the disqualification, the main defenders Maffeo and Raillo will leave the match.
“Girona” clearly gathers courage and does not intend to stop. I suspect that in this meeting the hosts will once again demonstrate an open ball, and Mallorca’s staffing problems in defense will contribute to a high result.
