Girona take on the visitors Mallorca in the round 34 match of Spanish LaLiga. The match will be played on Friday, May 1st at Estadio Municipal de Montilivi (Girona).
Girona are finally showing good football again. “The Gironistes” surprised everyone two years ago by finishing third, but then experienced a decline that exceeded all expectations. It was understandable to struggle in their debut UEFA Champions League campaign, but they also suffered an early cup exit and, most importantly, only narrowly avoided relegation in La Liga, finishing just one point above CD Leganés. Recently, however, their form has improved significantly, with several strong performances against top sides. They have been much more confident in attack, regularly creating chances and converting them into goals. Míchel and his players had a difficult start this season, but then picked up form to the point where they managed to beat both FC Barcelona and Villarreal CF, while also drawing with Real Madrid CF. By mid-spring, they had effectively secured their place in the division. Perhaps realizing this, the players relaxed slightly, as shown by narrow defeats in recent rounds against Real Betis (2-3 at home) and Valencia CF (1-2 at Mestalla).

Mallorca appointed Jagoba Arrasate before last season, inheriting a promising squad that had already established itself in La Liga under Javier Aguirre and even reached a cup final. That campaign ended with a top-10 finish, but in the new season results deteriorated, leading to Arrasate’s dismissal toward the end of winter. The change quickly brought improvement, with a series of positive results boosting confidence within the squad. Their recent performances have been more competitive, especially against stronger opponents, even if consistency is still lacking. In spring, they collected several wins, including an impressive victory over Real Madrid CF, which allowed them to climb out of the relegation zone. However, they are still far from safe. Against recent opponents, results have been mixed: they managed a draw with Valencia CF, but then lost narrowly 1-2 to Deportivo Alavés in the last round.
In 2024, Mallorca won three matches in a row. However, the last two encounters, both home and away, were won by Girona. Girona are playing at home and are considered clear favorites in this matchup. However, they are not significantly more motivated than the visitors, so a neutral option looks preferable — over 2.5 total goals.
Prediction for the match: Over 2.5 scored goals.
