Espanyol, Recent FormEspanyol will certainly have been pleased to secure 3 points from their most recent encounter, which saw them run out 1-0 winners in their away fixture against Elche. They came away from that fixture with 54% of the possession and clocked up 11 attempts on goal with 4 on target. By comparison, Elche managed 19 attempts on goal, with 5 on target.
Diego Martínez will be quite satisfied with his squad's offensive prowess in recent performances. They have managed to notch up 8 goals from their last 6 outings. However, the manager will know they have work to do at the back where they have let in 8 goals and, as a result, lost some important points. Having found the back of the net in 5 of their last 6 matches at RCDE Stadium, they are developing an impressive scoring record at home. The defensive quality of his current squad will be troubling Martínez of late, his defence having only notched up 1 clean sheet from their last 6 home games.
Having drawn 3 of their last 6 home games they have at least put some points on the board, but they will not be overly happy with only 1 win. They've struggled to find their feet at home this season, having won just 2 of their 11 league games at RCDE Stadium.
José Joselu will be keen to add his name to the scoresheet and build on his current scoring record of 4 goals in the last 6 league games for Espanyol.
Mallorca, Recent FormMallorca will be very happy having secured 3 points in their last match with a significant 4-2 home win against Villarreal. In that game they recorded 45 % of the possession, with 12 attempts on goal, 5 on target. Their opponents found the target on 4 of their 8 shots on goal.
It seems pretty certain that Javier Aguirre will be quite pleased with his squad's ability to score goals in recent matches, having managed 6 goals in their past 6 outings. In contrast, however, he will be concerned that their defensive qualities look a little more fragile, with 7 goals conceded in those matches and some crucial points dropped. They will need to tighten up at the back, having failed to keep a clean sheet in all but 1 of their last 6 away games. After failing to get on the scoresheet in 6 away games out of 11 this season, Aguirre will be looking for a bit more consistency from his forwards.
They're experiencing a relativley poor spell of form on the road, having lost 4 of their last 6 away games despite notching up a couple of wins.
On an individual basis, Dani Rodríguez will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 3 goals in Mallorca's last 6 league games.
In the most recent meeting between these teams, they both managed to find the net, but the game finished in a 1-1 draw.
During the last 3 times these two teams have met in the league at RCDE Stadium, Los Vermellones have been unable to break through the Espanyol defence and find the back of the net.
In the league, Espanyol has had a good run at home against Mallorca, being unbeaten in their last 5 meetings at RCDE Stadium.
Espanyol manager Diego Martínez has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Keidi Bare (Ligament), José Joselu (Hamstring), César Montes (Muscle) and Adrià Pedrosa (Hernia) are all currently out of contention for this game.
Mallorca manager Javier Aguirre has no real injury worries ahead of this clash.
