Form and Line-up
Real Club Deportivo Mallorca S.A.D., by contrast, have won only once in five matches. In midweek the visitors failed to cope with Getafe Club de Futbol (1:3), but far more worrying is that in that game Mascarell picked up his fourth yellow card. He is an irreplaceable figure in the centre of the pitch, especially from a defensive point of view: 3.3 clearances, 1.4 interceptions and 1.9 tackles. Such a loss will definitely affect the team.
