Mallorca form and stats

6 victories, 2 draws and 3 defeats. That’s what Mallorca have to build on here at Estadio Iberoamericano 2010 in the La Liga. After failing to beat Espanyol here at Estadio Iberoamericano 2010, Mallorca has put together a very nice winning streak on their own turf with five wins in a row.

No payout for Mallorca in their previous match, an away game at Espanyol that ended in defeat 1-2. Midfielder Rodríguez was the best player on the team with a rating of 7.41 (out of ten) in that game. Rodríguez served one assist, hit two key passes and dribled past the opponent 2 of 2 times.

Ahead of that match, Mallorca won a home game hosting Villarreal (4-2).

It should be taken into account that a look at the 11 most recent league fixtures reveals that 9 of them qualified as a both teams to score: NO result (only one or none of the teams scored).

The Mallorca fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 12 in 11 matches. It's worth mentioning that 6 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. From these home matches, Mallorca have conceded only 8 goals.

Elche form and stats

Elche have only collected 3 points from their away games in the La Liga, after 0-3-8 (11 played). The loyal fans travelling with their beloved Elche have enjoyed the stadium food more than the matches as the visitors have gone eleven consecutive matches without winning on the road.

Home advantage was not enough for Elche in their previous game as they lost hosting Real Betis, 2-3. A huge disappointment for Elche in their last match (vs Real Betis). Leading 2-0 the victory seemed almost certain, but a fascinating collapse turned everything around and in the end all was lost in a 2-3 defeat. It's a bit troubling for Elche that their goalie Badía made six saves in the Real Betis game, but still couldn't stop a defeat. Badía was the team player of the game with the player rating of 7.64. The agile goalkeeper Badía saved a penalty.

Preceding that, the 0-1 home loss versus Espanyol.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Elche as they have only managed to score 7 times from 11 away games in the league. Elche are struggling defensively in their away games, having conceded 7 goals in these matches.

Head 2 Head

Elche have not lost in the last 6 fixtures (1-5-0) versus Mallorca.

The latest head-to-head game ended Elche - Mallorca 1-1, earlier this season. The matches between these sides have sometimes been "violent", having seen 11 red cards from the last ten duels.
