Can Girona Extend Their Winning Run? Girona vs Mallorca Prediction | October 4, 2026
Girona host Mallorca on October 4 in the eighth round of La Liga 2, with both sides looking to strengthen their position near the top of the table. The two teams have collected 13 points each so far, although they arrive in different moods, with Girona winning their last two matches while Mallorca suffered a narrow defeat in the previous round.
Match Preview
Girona were relegated from La Liga last season after finishing 19th, just one point short of safety. Their return to the second tier also began with mixed results, as they drew with Leganes before losing to Cordoba. However, the team has since found greater consistency and now enters this match after winning two consecutive games.
Across their last five matches, Girona have suffered just one defeat, with four victories during that run. Their most recent outing ended in a 2-0 home win over Albacete, which lifted them to fifth place in the table. They have won four of their seven league matches, drawing once and losing twice, while scoring 14 goals and conceding eight.
Girona have also been strong enough at home, collecting two wins, one draw and one defeat from their four matches in front of their own supporters. They have scored nine goals during that period, although their recent home meetings with Mallorca have generally been decided by narrow margins. Girona lost the most recent encounter 1-0, but had previously won three consecutive home matches against this opponent.
Mallorca also dropped out of La Liga last season after finishing 18th, one point ahead of Girona. Their start to life in the second tier was more encouraging, as they defeated Valladolid in their opening match and then went four games unbeaten. However, their momentum was interrupted in the previous round when they lost 1-0 at home to Almeria.
Despite that defeat, Mallorca remain sixth with the same 13 points as Girona. They have recorded four wins, one draw and two defeats, but their main strength has been their defensive record. Mallorca have conceded only three goals in seven matches, while keeping five clean sheets.
Their away record has also been solid, with one win, one draw and one defeat from three matches. Most notably, they have conceded just once on the road, highlighting how difficult they have been to break down away from home.
Head-to-Head
The recent head-to-head record is fairly even, although Mallorca have a slight advantage. They have won five of the last 10 meetings, compared with four victories for Girona, while one match ended in a draw.
Mallorca have also won four of the last six encounters, with Girona taking the other two. Recent meetings have generally been tight, with three of the last five ending in 1-0 victories.
Key Trends
- Girona have won their last 2 matches.
- Girona have lost just 1 of their last 5 games.
- 6 of Mallorca's 7 league matches have finished with under 2.5 goals.
- Both teams have scored in none of Mallorca's 7 league matches this season.
- Mallorca have kept 5 clean sheets in their last 7 matches.
- 3 of the last 5 H2H meetings ended 1-0.
Prediction
There is little to separate Girona and Mallorca in the league table, with both sides sitting on 13 points after seven matches. Girona have the momentum of two consecutive victories, but Mallorca have built their campaign around a much stronger defensive record and have conceded only three goals so far. That defensive solidity could be particularly important in this matchup. Mallorca have yet to see both teams score in any of their seven league matches, while six of those games finished with fewer than 2.5 goals. The recent head-to-head record also points towards a close encounter, with three of the last five meetings ending 1-0. With both teams well positioned in the table but Mallorca particularly difficult to break down, another low-scoring contest looks likely. Recommended Bet: Under 3 Total Goals
