An important duel in the bottom section of the La Liga, with both Espanyol and Mallorca experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic \"six-pointer\" with the home team placed 20th and the visitors in 17th place.

Espanyol and Mallorca should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.

Everyone involved with the away team has to get their travel gear ready for this match as there's a whopping 1100 kilometers to cover before arriving at the match.

Espanyol form and stats

Espanyol's results here at RCDE Stadium in the La Liga have been very modest with 0 victories, 4 draws and 7 defeats. With eleven home games in a row without a win, the Espanyol fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the Sevilla game long ago, can be stopped today.

Espanyol lost their last game at Granada (placed 10th) after a 1-2 scoreline. Before that, Espanyol drew at home versus Athletic Club.

The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match. There could be betting value if you think differently, so to help you here are the stats from Espanyol's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played five games, won four matches, drawn one and lost zero.

Espanyol aren't scoring a lot here at RCDE Stadium in the league, with only 10 goals from 11 games. Espanyol are struggling defensively, conceding on average more than two goals per home game (23 from 11 played).

Mallorca form and stats

There's been little loot from Mallorca's travels as they have only collected 1 point from 10 away games in the La Liga. Mallorca, who have the most conceded goals (25) away in La Liga, only have 0 wins to counter their 9 defeats and 1 draw. The loyal fans travelling with their beloved Mallorca have enjoyed the stadium food more than the matches as the visitors have gone 15 consecutive matches without winning on the road. The last time three points were secured away was the Malaga game.

Mallorca are looking to quickly end their 191 minutes long goal drought in the La Liga.

Mallorca failed to get anything from their last game, a La Liga home match vs Real Valladolid (placed 14th) that ended with defeat 0-1. A 0-3 defeat away at Real Sociedad before that.

It's a bit worrying for Mallorca that their goalkeeper Manolo Reina made six saves in the Real Valladolid game last time out, but still couldn''t prevent the loss.

Looking at the earlier recent performances of Mallorca when being an outsider away as they are today, we find two matches with the visitors losing two times, drawing zero and winning zero games.

The visitors have scored 7 goals from 10 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. The opposition has been scoring high and low on Mallorca's goalkeeper in away games this season, as they have let in 25 goals in 10 travels.

Head 2 Head

This is the result when the teams met earlier this season; Mallorca - Espanyol 2-0. Espanyol-Mallorca H2H statistics last ten meetings regardless of arena: Espanyol three wins, Mallorca five wins, two draws. five of these ten matches had three or more goals (over 2,5).
