Mallorca vs Granada CF prediction: SPAIN: LaLiga betting tips on match 2024-03-15 13:00.
[p]Despite a tough run of fixtures, Mallorca have managed to put some breathing space between themselves and the La Liga relegation zone in recent weeks. Javier Aguirre’s side have come up against three of the current top-six in their last five outings, but still accumulated a respectable seven points across those five games (W2, D1, L2), including an impressive 1-0 victory over high-flying Girona.[/p]
[p]Their most recent result was a 1-0 loss to in-form Barcelona, which leaves the Pirates five points clear of the bottom-three ahead of this round. Given how poor they have been on the road, winning just once in the league all season, results at Son Moix will be crucial if they are to remain in the top-flight, and they have lost just twice on home soil across all competitions since the end of August (W5, D8).[/p]
[p]That is particularly formidable for visitors Granada, especially as they are one of three teams in the division who remain winless on their travels in the league this campaign, including eight defeats from their last nine attempts (D1). As such, they looked doomed to an immediate return to the second tier, given they have only eleven games left to make up a ten-point gap between themselves and safety. [/p]
[p]The table would look somewhat better if the Nasrids could hold on to a lead, but they have dropped seven points from winning positions in their last five outings alone (D3, L2), including a 3-2 defeat to Real Sociedad last time out. Supporters might be hopeful of finally chalking up a victory against Mallorca though, a team they’ve beaten in six of the last seven H2Hs (D1).[/p]
[p]Players to watch: Mallorca will be keen for striker Vedat Muriqi to end his five-game scoring drought, as he has not lost any of the last seven home matches in which he has found the net (W5, D2), with all of those strikes serving as the first or last of the game. Attempting to out-gun him will be Granada’s top scorer Myrto Uzuni, who has netted in his previous two H2Hs (W2), while also scoring three times across his last three outings.[/p]
[p]Hot stat: Granada are the only team in La Liga yet to have a 0-0 draw this season.[/p]
