RCD Mallorca and RCD Espanyol have different objectives in LaLiga, but both come into this match in poor form. The hosts have not won for a long time, while the visitors are on a serious downturn in results, especially away from home.
RCD Mallorca have not won for five rounds. In their most recent match they ended that sequence with a 2:2 draw against Osasuna. At home they look much more confident, with five wins, four draws and four defeats. Even against Espanyol they usually perform well on their own pitch, taking three wins and a draw in the last four head-to-heads here.
RCD Espanyol are in an even more difficult situation. Over the last 10 rounds they have collected only four points, losing six times. Away from home they are particularly weak: they have not won in five consecutive away matches, with three defeats and two draws and an overall goal difference of 8:14. As a result, they have already dropped out of the top six and trail Celta de Vigo by three points.
Both teams are likely to be cautious and focus on controlling the match in midfield, so we should not expect a high-scoring encounter. However, Mallorca perform solidly at home and should take points off Espanyol, who are unimpressive on their travels.
