La Liga statistics and guide: Mallorca small favourite to beat Cádiz

These teams have little in common geographically as Cádiz have to travel 900 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.

It's no vacation for neither Mallorca nor Cádiz as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.

Mallorca form and stats

When playing at home in the La Liga, Mallorca have managed 2 wins, 6 draws and suffered 2 defeats from 10 games. Regardless of arena the trend is looking very unhealthy for Mallorca with their four defeats in a row. Not since the Celta de Vigo game, 56 days ago, have they avoided a loss.

Times are rough for the home team, having gone 336 minutes without scoring a league goal. Rodriguez was the last player to find the net.

Attacking player Muriqi bested all teammates in that match and managed a match rating of 7.33 out of 10. Muriqi hit one key pass and dribled past the opponent 1 of 2 times.

Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Villarreal (0-3).

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Mallorca have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found eight games) they have won four times, drawn four and lost zero.

Before that one, a nice away victory 2-0 at Levante.

Cádiz are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is three wins, two draws and three defeats. From a total of eight matches.
