In the upcoming match of the 34th round of the Primera Division, the two teams will meet, separated by just three points. Girona, in 15th place, has suffered two consecutive defeats – to Valencia (1-2) and Betis (2-3). Meanwhile, Mallorca (17th) is showing character: after a 3-0 victory over Rayo Vallecano and a 1-1 draw with Valencia, the visitors are determined to continue their short unbeaten streak and escape the relegation zone.
The statistics don't favor Girona: the team has conceded seven goals in its last five matches, and its defensive structure looks extremely shaky. The 2-1 defeat to Mallorca in the first half is particularly alarming – the visitors know how to beat this opponent. Moreover, Mallorca has gained excellent momentum on the road, while Girona has been playing with high risk in recent home games, constantly leaving open spaces behind their defense, which the islanders' speedy forwards are sure to exploit.
Girona is in a crisis of ideas, while Mallorca has become a tenacious and unyielding team fighting for every point. Given the hosts' defensive problems and the visitors' counterattacking prowess, it will be extremely difficult for the Catalans to secure a victory. Even if Girona takes the lead, the team's current psychological instability allows us to expect Mallorca to at least avoid defeat.
