Head-to-head statistics Girona - Mallorca
Girona Team Overview
⚪ With four rounds remaining in the championship, the "White and Reds" sit in 15th place on the league table, just four points clear of the relegation zone. Girona's current form raises concerns, with only one victory in their last five matches. Let's take a look at the team's average performance metrics in this season's La Liga: they score 1.09 goals per game while conceding 1.52. The top scorer for Girona in the current national championship is Vladyslav Vanat; the Ukrainian forward has netted 9 goals in 27 appearances.
🔴 In the previous round of La Liga, the "White and Reds" failed to convert their territorial advantage into a positive result, suffering a 1-2 away defeat to Valencia. A lack of composure in the final phases of attack led to their downfall. It's important to note that Michel is quite an adaptable coach, skillfully managing the squad based on how the game unfolds. His favored tactical setup is a 4-2-3-1 formation, utilizing a target forward capable of challenging defenses in the penalty area.

Mallorca Team Overview
🔴 The arrival of Martin Demichelis has positively impacted Mallorca's performance in the current La Liga season. The Argentine coach has suffered only two defeats in seven matches at the helm of the "Islanders." However, even with this improvement, the team remains embroiled in a relegation battle. Currently, Mallorca sit 17th in the standings, just one point clear of the drop zone. Their average performance metrics stand at 1.24 goals scored per game against 1.55 conceded.
⚫ In their last La Liga outing, Mallorca suffered an away defeat to Alaves (1-2). The "Islanders" were overly passive and naively hoped to close out the game after Jan Virgil's 18th-minute strike. However, reality was harsher: the opponent had little trouble advancing into the final third and exploited Mallorca's defense with effective wing play. In this match, Martin Demichelis deployed a 4-3-1-2 formation, which often shifted to a 4-2-3-1 during attacking phases. Vedat Muriqi is Mallorca's top scorer in the current La Liga campaign, netting 21 goals in 32 appearances.

Latest news
Girona
❌ Girona face a significant setback with the suspension of Alex Moreno. The Spanish defender picked up his fifth booking of the La Liga season in the last round, ruling him out of the clash with Mallorca. Expectations are low for Portu (knee injury) to return, although the Spaniard has resumed training on grass last week. Another critical loss is Abel Ruiz, who sustained a muscle injury in mid-April and is sidelined for 4 to 6 weeks. Meanwhile, for Marc-André ter Stegen (hamstring injury), Donny van de Beek (Achilles injury), and Vladyslav Vanat (hamstring injury), this season is definitively over.
Mallorca
❌ The good news is the return of Marash Kumbulla from a muscle injury. The Albanian defender participated in his first training session with the team on Tuesday and aims to be ready for Friday's clash. A similar situation applies to Zito Luvumbo. His comeback is even more significant-his speed and agility could be crucial for Mallorca in the remaining rounds of the national championship. However, the return of Mateo Joseph, Antonio Raillo, and Jan Salas this season seems unlikely, as each player is recovering from a knee injury.
⚽ Goal Predictions
Let's note that it's hard to call these teams defensive in recent rounds. In 6 of Mallorca's last 7 matches, there were at least three goals scored. Moreover, a similar trend is evident in 5 of the last 7 head-to-head encounters between the "Red and Whites" and the "Islanders." Our editorial team anticipates a dynamic match with high pressing from both sides. We are leaning towards the following outcome - over 2.5 goals with odds of 1.80*.
🚩 Corner Predictions
Both teams rank among the worst in the league for average corners per game: the "Red and Whites" average 4, while the "Islanders" average 3.6. It's important to note that in 4 of the last 5 head-to-head meetings, there were no more than 10 corner kicks. Delivering the ball into the opponent's penalty area via the shortest route is the main tactical doctrine for both Girona and Mallorca. Our editorial choice is under 9.5 corners at 1.95*.
*Odds are approximate and may vary across different bookmakers.
Editorial Prediction
When selecting a key bet, it's crucial to consider Mallorca's low efficiency in away matches-their last away win in La Liga dates back to October 2025. "Montivilli" are unlikely to let Martín Demichelis' side feel at home. Our editorial team anticipates a competitive clash, but overall, the hosts have a significantly better chance of securing victory. We predict a final score of 2-1. Key bet - Girona win.
