Girona Fc Host Mallorca With Four Points Separating Them
girona fc host Real Mallorca at Montilivi on Friday at 20:00 BST in a La Liga meeting that sits squarely inside the relegation fight. Girona carry a four-point cushion, while Mallorca are only one point above the drop zone with five games left.
Montilivi Carries Survival Pressure
Michel’s side have the better buffer, but it is not much of one with the season down to its final five matches. Girona have won just one of their last four, so the margin has to hold while they try to turn that cushion into safety.
Mallorca arrive with more urgency. They put together a two-game winning streak, then went two matches without victory, and sit just one point above 18th-placed Sevilla. That leaves Friday’s trip with little room for another slip.
Girona’s Draws And Mallorca’s Slide
Girona’s 11 draws are another reason the table has stayed tight around them. Only Real Betis, with 14, and Rayo Vallecano, with 12, have drawn more often this term, which has helped keep Girona from pulling away even when they avoid defeat.
The numbers around Mallorca are just as revealing. Girona are 21/20 to claim a third straight win over them, while the stalemate is priced at 13/5 and Mallorca are 12/5 to snap a two-game winless run in La Liga. The reverse fixture in January ended 2-1 to Girona at Son Moix, with Vladyslav Vanat on the scoresheet.
Betting Angle At Montilivi
I think goals are the place to look for value in this contest, and my Bet of the Day is for Both Teams To Score & Under 3.5 Goals.
That selection is priced at 2/1 and has landed in seven of Girona’s past 13 outings in La Liga. It has also come through in two of the previous three league meetings between the sides, and the Friday parameters have landed in five of Mallorca’s past six fixtures in the top flight, including their two most recent away trips.
For Girona and Mallorca, the task is simple enough: protect position, force the other side to chase, and keep the scoreline inside the range that has repeatedly shown up in this matchup. With both clubs still fighting to stay up, the result at Montilivi will feed straight into the table they are trying to escape.
