Mallorca vs Girona Prediction & Betting Tips (3 March)

What a feat! Mallorca, despite its shortcomings in the championship, offered itself, in the semi-final of the Copa del Rey this week, the scalp of Real Sociedad who are still eighth finalists in the Champions League. This team will play either Bilbao or Atlético in the final of the edition. This qualification is a real breath of fresh air for this team which is going through a difficult season in the championship since maintenance is still far from being acquired for the Mallorcans who occupy 16th place at the start of this day with a lead of six points over Cadiz 18th. In La Liga, the residents of La Palma have won only one of their last eight matches, for the arrival of Rayo Vallecano 2-1 3 weeks ago.

Since this victory, they have conceded a defeat against Real Sociedad precisely 1-2 and a draw last weekend in the Basque Country against Deportivo Alaves 1-1. On the other side of the median, we find Real Madrid's runner-up in the league, Girona, who seemed to be running out of steam in recent weeks with 3 games in a row without a win including a draw for the arrival of Real Sociedad 0 -0 which preceded two defeats in a row, against Real Madrid at the Berbabéu 4-0, and on the San Mames side, against Athletic Bilbao 3-2. Fortunately for them, the Catalans found their way to victory on the last day by literally exploding Rayo Vallecano at Montilivi 3-0.

This week, on the pitch of Real Sociedad, Mallorca was deprived of its right piston Mafféo (injured). He is ultimately the only injured player on this team. Suspended for the trip to Alaves, Rillo will make his return while Van der Heyden will serve his second match. Despite the presence of Prats (5 goals in La Liga), Larin (4 goals in 6 appearances in the Copa del Rey) and the imperial Muriqi (5 goals in La Liga), it was defender Gonzalez Apud who scored the Mallorca's only goal against Sociedad this week, allowing them to advance to the penalty shootout and eliminate the Basques.

After weeks outside the professional group, Jastin was on the scoresheet against Rayo Vallecano but he did not come into play. Note that his comrade Roca is still injured like the most important Daley Blind (muscle contusion) or the unfortunate Toni Villa (rehabilitation of her cruciate ligament rupture). On a personal level, we are obliged to mention the 3rd top scorer in the elite, Dovbyk who has scored 14 times this season (+ 5 assists), the future Manchester City nugget Savio (7 goals, 7 assists in La Liga), the veteran, Stuani (37 years old, 7 points in the league) without forgetting another Ukrainian, Tsygankov (6 goals, 3 assists), author of 2 goals in his last 2 matches with the club.
