Simon Dalton presents his prediction for the La Liga match.
RCD Mallorca currently occupy ninth place in the La Liga standings and remain in the hunt for a UEFA Europa League berth, sitting just two points behind Celta de Vigo. Girona FC, by contrast, are languishing near the bottom of the standings, holding only a three-point buffer above the relegation zone. With difficult fixtures against Atlético Madrid and Villarreal ahead, this clash with RCD Mallorca takes on vital importance. The Catalan side have failed to beat RCD Mallorca in their last three encounters.
Girona
Girona have endured a torrid run of form as the season winds down. The squad are winless in their last 11 La Liga outings. Defensive issues have been especially concerning—they haven’t registered a clean sheet since early January and have shipped 27 goals across their last 14 matches. The team will be without injured midfielder Bryan Gil, while the availability of key forward Abel Ruiz remains uncertain. Their attacking output has been minimal, with no more than a single goal scored in any of their last seven fixtures. Much of Girona’s offensive responsibility rests on 38-year-old Cristhian Stuani, who has netted eight goals this term.
RCD Mallorca
RCD Mallorca, on the other hand, have been defensively resolute, conceding just four goals over the same span. They have faced strong competition, including league leaders Barcelona (0:1), Celta de Vigo (1:2), and a resurgent Valencia (0:1), who are unbeaten in nine consecutive matches. RCD Mallorca employ a pragmatic approach, with none of their last nine games producing a Total Over 3.5. They rank among La Liga’s top seven sides in terms of defensive solidity, having allowed just 38 goals all season.
Girona vs RCD Mallorca Prediction
Form continues to elude Girona—they are winless with only four goals to their name across their last five league matches. RCD Mallorca, in contrast, have suffered just two defeats during the same stretch, both against high-quality opposition. They also triumphed 2:1 in the reverse fixture despite being reduced to ten men in the 32nd minute. RCD Mallorca look well-equipped to secure at least a point here.
