Mallorca vs. Girona: Match Prediction
Matches at Son Moix typically end with low scoring. The last two games at this stadium against Valencia and Barcelona are exceptions. In 11 of Mallorca's last 15 home La Liga games, more than two goals were not scored, with a maximum of one goal in 10 of them. The islanders focus on solid defense at home and aim to score at least once.
In 14 of their last 16 home La Liga matches, Mallorca failed to score more than one goal. Girona also struggles to score on the road, netting only one goal in 6 of their last 8 league games.
