Girona
Michel Sanchez's side ended a four-match losing streak in the league last round by drawing 1-1 away at Leganes. Interestingly, the club played almost the entire match with a numerical advantage but conceded the equalizer after the 90th minute. However, their winless run has now extended to 11 matches in La Liga (4 draws and 7 losses). The Catalans have dropped to 17th place, just three points clear of the relegation zone.

Mallorca
The islanders visited Barcelona last round and lost 0-1 to the league leaders. Before that, the club had not conceded in two consecutive league games: drawing 0-0 at home against Leganes and defeating Real Sociedad 2-0 away.

Girona vs. Mallorca: Match Prediction
The Catalans have not won in the league for three months, suffering 7 defeats and drawing 4 times. There is no clear indication of how the team plans to end this lengthy winless streak, and given the current psychological state of the players, it will be challenging for them to secure a victory in this match. At Montilivi, Girona has not won in five consecutive La Liga matches (2 draws and 3 losses), with the strongest opponents in this series being Betis and Celta.
The islanders have strong motivation at the end of the season, with a great chance of qualifying not only for the Conference League but also for the Europa League. Mallorca has performed well against teams ranked 15th or lower in the table: in 10 matches this season, the club has suffered only one defeat (5 wins and 4 draws).
My prediction – Mallorca to win or draw
