Espanyol vs Mallorca Match Preview

Espanyol is struggling to climb spots on the table, despite their improved performances in the last rounds. Still, this is not enough to get away from the rock bottom of the table.

However, Espanyol spent more than EUR 40 mil in the winter transfer window in order to strengthen their roster and avoid relegation. The new signings and the arrival of manager A. Abelardo brought optimism to the team.

Mallorca managed to take just one point in the last 10 away matches they played so far this season, having the worst away record in La Liga, as well as in all the top European leagues.

They are placed, consequently, into the relegation zone, having a three-point distance from the bottom-placed Espanyol. There were no new transfers for Mallorca in the winter break and their presence in the top league of Spanish football is really questionable.

Espanyol is probably playing their last cards to stay in La LIga. They are currently in a decent form and I think they will manage to prevail over the weak Mallorca. Home win.
