On March 15, 2025, at the Estadi Mallorca Son Moix in Palma de Mallorca, a match of the 28th round of the Spanish La Liga will take place between local team Mallorca and Catalan side Espanyol. I suggest betting on the total goals in this encounter.
Preview
Mallorca has unexpectedly surged into the race for European competitions. Jagoba Arrasate's squad has accumulated 37 points and is only four points behind Betis, who are at the bottom of the top-6.
After a worrying streak of five consecutive defeats, the islanders have transformed: they are now unbeaten in five matches. Most of these ended in draws, but they managed to secure one victory. Las Palmas was defeated at home (3:1).
Espanyol, with 28 points, finds itself in a more precarious position—just two points above the relegation zone. However, the table is so tight that the "Parrots" are only eight points behind seventh-placed Mallorca.
The Catalans have been showing commendable results recently: only one loss in eight matches, including a sensational victory over Real Madrid. However, their main issue is their away performance. In 12 away matches, Espanyol has collected just 5 points, and their goal difference (7:22) speaks volumes.
Probable lineups
- Mallorca: Greif, Maffeo, Mojica, Copete, Raillo, Valjent, Samu Costa, Mascarell, Darder, Asano, Muriqi
- Espanyol: Garcia, El Hilali, Kumbulla, Cabrera, Romero, Lozano, Jofre, Kral, Gonzalez, Puado, Fernandez Jean
Match facts and H2H
- 4 of the last 5 matches involving Mallorca ended with the same scoreline of 1:1.
- Espanyol has consistently scored in 8 consecutive matches.
- Despite this, the Catalans remain the league's worst attack in away games, with only 7 goals to their name.
- Mallorca, with 14 goals, ranks among the top 5 worst home attacks in the league.
- The first-round match between these teams ended in a home victory for Espanyol 2:1.
Prediction
Mallorca is one of the most pragmatic teams in La Liga, and their games rarely feature many goals. Espanyol also plays cautiously on the road and rarely participates in high-scoring matches. Thus, a logical choice would be to bet on Total under 2.5 with odds of 1.52.
