Mallorca take on the visitors Espanyol in the round 12 match of Spanish LaLiga. The match will be played on Friday, October 28th at Visit Mallorca Estadi (Palma de Mallorca).
Mallorca have been changing divisions with unenviable regularity. Of course, from time to time this was a plus, because it turned out to win a promotion in the class. But more than once, "Bermelones" lost their "registration" in the LaLiga. Everything could have ended in the previous temporade as well. However, the newcomer made a bet on Javier Aguirre in time. And as a result, an experienced Mexican, having come to the team, finished in 16th place. But at the same time, he was ahead of the relegated Granada by 1 point. Mallorca got off to a good start in the new season. They started 0-0 against Athletic. And September ended with 2 wins and 8 points after 6 rounds. But then a decline started. Only with Elche they managed to make a draw, 1-1. At the same time, there were defeats not only to Barcelona, but also to the Sevilla and Real Sociedad. It was all the more pleasant (and more important) to beat Valencia. Especially since it happened on the field of a strong opponent.

Espanyol scored 42 points last season. Not so much for a fairly ambitious project. But, on the other hand, it was the 1st year after a short stay in the Segunda. However, the "parrots" clearly wanted more, and called on the post of coach Diego Martinez Penas. He is best known for Granada, in which he provided progress in the form of promotion from the Segunda to the Europa League. In the new place, he frankly did not succeed. In the starting segment, the project from Catalonia lost 4 out of 6 rounds, and only an unexpected away victory over Athletic made fans happy. It seems that they managed to add after a pause for the matches of the national teams, in September. Espanyol shared points with Valencia and beat Valladolid, however, it was also 2-2 with the crisis Cadiz. And on October 20, a new defeat followed, the first this month - 0-1 with Osasuna. On Sunday, the "parrots" took "Elche", and limited themselves to a draw 2-2 - also not the result they can be proud of.
The sides are quite equal in strength, and this is shown by the exchanges of victories in head-to-head, mostly at home. This was the case last season: Mallorca won both in La Liga and in the cup, but then lost in away fixture. Bookmakers consider Mallorca, which plays at home, to be the favorite. But Espanyol will also come to the Balearic Islands for points. It won’t be boring, and the “more than 2.0 goals” option looks quite real.
Prediction for the match: Over 2.0 scored goals.
