Espanyol away table position: 18

Fifth spot holders Mallorca are pushing for a victory against Espanyol in the hope that Sevilla will stumble against Almeria and their road to the Champions League preliminaries will be paved.

Mallorca seem to experience the fatigue after a long season with a clear plunge in results lately as they lost the last 2 matches in the Spanish Primera Division. They have assured themselves a spot in next season’s European tournament and with a victory here and a stroke of luck that competition could be the UCL.

They are one of the strongest teams in the tournament by home play, only below giants Barcelona and Real Madrid but managing only 1 point from the last 2 against Malaga and Real Madrid bringing their statistic to 14 victories and 1 draws in 18 played.

Espanyol sits comfortably mid table with a total of 44 points, no aspirations for them in advancing and no threats to relegate. A modest season all together but one in which their hopes and aspirations where fulfilled.

Away play is not their strongest point by any means with just 2 victories and 5 draws in 18 matches played whilst traveling and a goal ratio that shows only 9 goals scored and no less than 27 conceded.

My pick:  Mallorca to win

Mallorca – Osasuna 19 April 2010

Osasuna last 5 league matches:

Osasuna last 3 away matches:

Table positions: Mallorca - 4, Osasuna - 11

Mallorca home table position: 3

Osasuna away table position: 9

The only match on Monday in the Spanish Primera Division with Mallorca pressured to reclaim their 4th spot after the weekend matches when Sevilla won and have a 2 points advantage.

This could be an historic season for Mallorca as they hold high chances of claiming a spot in the Champions League, currently sitting between giants and consecrated names of the competition like Valencia and Sevilla.

They are one of the strongest teams on home ground in the tournament showing a superb record of 13 victories and 2 defeats in all 15 played so far with a crushing goal ratio of 36 scored and only 10 conceded.

Osasuna is currently sitting mid table with no hopes of further significant advancement but with no worries regarding relegation either. They have won only 2 of the past 5 matches played and ended in a 2-2 draw their match against Malaga in the last round.

There is nothing really in their away statistic that would recommend Osasuna to grab any points from this dispute as they have only 4 and ended 2 in draws in all 16 played with the remark that they have yet to claim any points in the past 5 matches played on other stadiums.

My pick: Mallorca to win

Gijon last 3 away matches: 

Table positions: Mallorca -5, Gijon -10

Mallorca home table position: 3

Gijon away table position: 12

Seeking to continue it’s very good performance on home pitch, Mallorca will welcome an accessible Sporting Gijon in day 25 of the Spanish Primera Division on Sunday the 7th of March.

Mallorca is still in a great position regarding the overall table, now on the 5th spot with a total of 40 points, the vast majority of which managed on home ground. Joust 3 points form Sevilla and a Champions League spot and that says a lot as how competitive they are this season, if only the team could motivate themselves in away matches as well and their position will be greatly improved.

They are very strong in front of the home crowd with a very good statistic of 10 scored and only one defeat 1-2 surprisingly against relegation bound Tenerife but still holding a superb goal ratio of 26 scored and 6 conceded.

Sporting Gijon is mid table in the Primera, a comfortable position for them as they gathered 31 points but no real room for advancement as Villarreal and Getafe sit only 2 points above them but show more strength and consistency in their game.

Their main threat lyes in Atletico Madrid and Osasuna, both with only one point handicap. With an away statistic showing only 2 victories and no less than 6 defeats in all 11 played with a poor goal ratio of 13 scored and 19 conceded their attempt to grab any points from this match will be a growling task.

My pick:  Mallorca to win
