Espanyol - Mallorca betting tips and odds

With the odds slightly in the hosts’ favour, they have a decent shot at walking away with 3 points. Still, Mallorca can pull off both a win or a draw, so the hosts can’t afford to let their guard down.

The away team’s chances of winning this Saturday are dubious at best. They are the clear underdogs in a matchup with Espanyol, and the fact that they’re the visiting team isn’t making things any easier.

Espanyol surprised everyone with their excellent performance in the last round. They were fighting an uphill battle as visitors against Elche with a draw result at half-time. However, they pulled ahead later in the game, securing 3 more points in a 0:1 victory.

Mallorca are coming on the back of a decisive 4:2 victory in the previous round’s home game, which can be considered a major upset of what most bookies expected. The odds on them winning were at 2.55, yet they led the proceedings throughout – and the goal difference was not negligible, either.

Espanyol haven’t let a game pass them by without scoring for the past seven rounds, so this match is not likely to be any different.

With their most recent track record in mind, Mallorca tend to perform quite well offensively. Their previous 3 home games featured at least 5 goals in total.

Espanyol’s 13th spot in the standings is not about to impress anyone, but they’ve managed to steer clear of the relegation zone for now. They’re still a good chunk of the season to go through, however, and they’re heading into a relatively difficult matchup.

Espanyol may be the favourites in this matchup, but they’ve yet to prove they can conclusively defeat Mallorca this season. They had several opportunities to do so, and all ended with a tied result.

They may be favoured to win, but the home team are still playing at an extreme disadvantage because a lot of their players suffered an injury recently. Adrià Pedrosa, Fernando Calero, Keidi Bare, Joselu, César Montes will not be able to play, putting the team in a dangerous situation.

Though the odds are against the visitors, at least they’ll be in a position to put up as much of a fight as possible. All of their lineup is accounted for in this match, with no issues from suspensions or injuries.

An Under 2.5 Goals bet is an easy tip to offer – it’s a fairly probable outcome with betting odds priced at a comfortable 1.44. More importantly, though, the betting value it offers is surprisingly solid.
