Ponferradina hosts Mallorca in round 42 of Spanish LaLiga 2. The match will be played on Sunday, May 30th at Estadio El Toralín (Ponferrada)
The regulars of Tercera and Segunda B simply lacked the spirit for the entire distance of a stronger championship. And how else can you assess four defeats in the last five rounds? Moreover, the opponents were the three worst Segunda clubs (at the moment), and Ponferradina managed to beat only Castellon. And the Blue-Whites lost quite predictably in the matches against the neighboring Las Palmas and leading Espanyol, which has already secured promotion to LaLiga. And if you look at the situation without club preferences, then a place in the top ten according to the results of this season is quite a good result after the 18th position in the last tournament.

Mallorca has already secured a ticket to the top division, and it was deserved. However, the team was probably not going to slow down even after completing the task. In the last five matches of Segunda, the Islanders gained four victories with a total score of 7-2 and tied 1-1 against Malaga, conceding a goal only from the penalty spot. Mallorca did not divide the remaining games into "necessary" and "unnecessary" and, perhaps, that is why it keeps a lead of 11 points from the 3rd place with one round to go to the finish. And the leading Espanyol is only one point ahead.
The most recent head-to-head match of the opponents ended with a convincing 3-0 home victory of Mallorca. There is almost no doubt that the Islanders will earn three points in the upcoming game. Moreover, the Red-Blacks are definitely the best in away matches of the current tournament, with 36 points scored and only four defeats in 20 rounds. On the whole, the teams are now different weight classes. Let's compare at least the defensive orders of the opponents. The defense of Mallorca is one of the most reliable in the league, on a par with Gijon Sporting (26 goals conceded). The hosts conceded almost two times more (48 goals). Mallorca, which has already officially returned to the elite, simply will not allow itself to stumble in a match against a club that has spent most of its history in the lower Spanish leagues. Beyond that, Ponferradina no longer needs anything, which is clearly confirmed by the recent defeats to the outsiders of the championship, Albacete and Sabadell.
Prediction for the match: Mallorca to win
