On Saturday, February 25, Espanyol will take on Mallorca at the RCDE Stadium in La Liga in an effort to complete a run of consecutive victories. Sergi Dader scored in the 92nd minute to give the Periquitos a 1-0 victory over Elche in their most recent match.
The Barcelona team moved up to 13th place in the standings with 24 points from 22 games, their first win in four games and fifth overall. For the second time this season, they will attempt to win the league in a row.
In contrast, Mallorca also prevailed in their most recent match, defeating Villarreal 4-2 at home in a game in which they twice surrendered a lead before persevering and securing a nerve-wracking victory. The yellow card given to Miguel Trigueros in the 21st minute, which caused the Yellow Submarines to play with a numerical disadvantage for more than an hour, also helped Los Piratas.
The team from the Balearic Islands currently occupies eighth place in the points table and is within striking distance of the spots in Europe with 31 points in hand.

Espanyol vs Mallorca Prediction :
Mallorca is in a better position than Espanyol, despite the fact that they never really looked impressive. The Pirates, on the other hand, haven’t had a lot of success lately at the RCDE, but given how the two teams have done so far this season, a low-scoring draw might happen.
Prediction: Espanyol 1-1 Mallorca

Espanyol vs Mallorca Team news :
Leandro Cabrera will play for Espanyol again after serving a suspension, but Keidi Bare, Fernando Calero, Cesar Montes, Joselu, Adria Pedrosa, and Keidi Calero are still out with injuries. Given that the experienced forward has scored 11 league goals this season, Joselu’s absence is significant.
Javi Puado and Martin Braithwaite will likely play in a 3-5-2 formation once more in the final third of the field. Denis Suarez and Darder will join Vinicius Souza in the middle of the midfield. Since Mallorca, on the other hand, is expected to field a fully-fit team for this match, it would not come as a surprise to see the same team that played Villarreal for the first time.
Muriqi will once again lead the line, with Rodriguez playing in the central position for Aguirre’s team and Lee Kang-in and Tinotenda Kadewere in the wide positions. Angel, Abdon Prats, and Rodrigo Battaglia are all candidates for a change, but Aguirre is unlikely to depart from a winning team.
