Bookmaker Ratings prediction one – Home Win – 2.05
Bookmaker Ratings prediction two – Over 2.5 Total match goals – 2.00
Bookmaker Ratings prediction three – Handicap -1 goal Espanyol – 3.90
More than Espanyol’s own merit to win this game, is that Mallorca’s situation is very bad, with five defeats in a row and also five defeats in a row as an away team.
Mallorca’s last five games have ended with a total of 16 total goals, unfortunately for them, most of those were against them. We think they are far from their best right now and in this game they could also continue that trend of defensive sluggishness.
Mallorca is in a really bad position, so we think Espanyol could take advantage to win by a difference of at least two goals. Thus, we think it would be a good Handicap to deduct a goal from them and they could still win the match.
Espanyol’s season is getting a bit long, they seem to be far from the danger zone, but they are also far from the European places, so it could be said that their season is done.
So far this season, half of Espanyol’s matches have ended with more than 2.5 total goals, 14 matches. As a home team, only six matches out of 14 so far have ended with at least three total goals.
An interesting fact about Espanyol is that so far this season they have not conceded a single goal between the 61st and 70th minutes of their matches, something difficult to maintain for a team like them in the middle of the table.

Mallorca’s situation is increasingly worrying, with five defeats in their last five games, having conceded twelve goals in those games.
So far this season, 13 of Mallorca’s 28 games have ended with more than 2.5 total goals, and that ratio is higher in their away games, as eight of the 13 games played so far have had at least three total goals.
With 13 goals conceded between the 81st and 90th minutes of the match, Mallorca are one of the weakest teams defensively in the last minutes of matches.
