The match of the 18th round of the La Liga between Mallorca and Girona will take place on 4 january at Son Moix stadium. Mallorca Vs Girona: prediction, betting odds and statistics.
Mallorca
Mallorca drew away at Valencia last round (1:1). Thus the home side did not allow its rival to get ahead and slightly increased the gap from the relegation zone. The club sits 13th in the table, and 18th place is now 3 points away. It should be noted that the unbeaten run under Jagoba Arrasate in the Primera has already lasted 4 matches (1 win, 3 draws), although earlier this season the team had avoided defeat for at most 2 La Liga matches in a row.
- Mallorca scored in 5 of their last 6 league games.
- At least 2 goals were scored in 8 of the club's previous 10 matches in this competition.
- The team did not concede more than one goal in 6 of their last 7 home matches in the Primera.
Potential Mallorca Lineup (4-2-3-1)*
Leo Román – Pablo Maffeo, Martin Valjent, Antonio Raillo, Joan Mojica – Samu Costa, Manuel Morlanes – Antonio Sanchez, Mateo Joseph, Jean Virgili – Vedat Muriqi.
Midfielder Omar Mascarell will miss the match due to participation in the Africa Cup of Nations.
Girona
Girona could not challenge Atletico Madrid before the end of 2025 (0:3). This is the visiting team's second heavy defeat in the last 3 rounds of the Primera. It should be said that prior to this stretch the squad had lost only 2 of the previous 9 La Liga matches (2 wins, 5 draws), and in both defeats the team lost by a minimal margin. Currently Girona sit alone in 18th place in La Liga, although in terms of points the club is still not far from midtable.
- This season in the Primera the team has conceded 33 goals in total, the worst figure in the tournament.
- The visitors have won with a handicap (+1.5) in 6 of their last 7 away league games.
- Girona have failed to keep a clean sheet in 9 consecutive away La Liga matches.
Potential Girona Lineup (4-5-1)*
Paulo Gazzaniga – Alejandro Francés, Daley Blind, Vitor Reis, Alex Moreno – Axel Witsel, Iván Martín, Arnau Martínez, Viktor Tsyhankov, Joel Roca – Vladyslav Vanat.
Midfielder Azzedine Ounahi is taking part in the Africa Cup of Nations. Due to injuries goalkeepers Juan Carlos Martin and Vladyslav Krapivtsov, defender David Lopez, midfielder Donny van de Beek, and forwards Abel Ruiz, Christian Stuani and Portu are unavailable.
Mallorca Vs Girona: Match Prediction
Mallorca noticeably lack balance; despite acceptable attacking output for a club from the lower half of the table the home side rarely manage to keep a clean sheet. As a result, goals were exchanged in 4 of the last 5 La Liga matches for the team under Jagoba Arrasate. At the same time Mallorca have been unbeaten for 4 league matches. The club's home unbeaten run in the Primera actually stretches to 7 games (3 wins, 4 draws), although both teams scored in 5 of those 7 matches.
Girona overall concede more than any other side in the league, but in most cases the visitors find a moment to reply with at least one goal. Therefore one of the teams failed to score in only 3 of the last 10 Primera matches involving Girona. Notably, the club has won only 3 times in that stretch. Both teams scored in 6 of the last 7 away league games for Girona, and the visitors managed to pick up 3 points during that run only in the previous meeting with Real Sociedad (2:1).
