Mallorca vs Granada Predictions

• Four of the last six competitive and non-competitive meetings between these two clubs have seen both teams score.
• Four of Granada’s last five league games have seen both teams score.
• Mallorca score an average of 1.33 goals per home game and concede 1.11 goals.
• Granada score an average of 1.33 goals per away game and concede 1.56 goals.

Mallorca play their best football at home and really need a win on Thursday

Mallorca lost 2-0 away at high-flying Sevilla on Sunday and could have their relegation from La Liga confirmed on Thursday if they fail to win and/or results elsewhere go against them. Granada put up a good effort at home to real Madrid on Monday but eventually lost 2-1 which leaves the club sitting 10th in the table.

When these two sides met for their reverse league fixture in January, a solitary strike from Montoro in the first-half proved enough to see Granada through to a win. Thursday’s guests head into the pairs’ latest clash as the form favourites with two wins, two draws and two defeats from their last six matches, as Mallorca have only won twice and lost four times during that period.

Granada are pushing for a top-half finish this season

Our prediction for both teams to score on Thursday is based on the recent head to head record between the two clubs and the performances of the two clubs at home and on the road this season. Both teams have scored in four of the last six meetings between Mallorca and Granada, as well as in four of the visitors’ last five league games.

Mallorca score an average of 1.33 goals per home game and concede an average of 1.11 goals while Granada score an average of 1.33 goals per away game and concede 1.56 goals, adding further weight to our prediction for both teams to score and providing the basis for our prediction for a final scoreline of 2-1 in favour of Mallorca.

We’re expecting a tight and tense match in Palma de Mallorca

The hosts have more motivation for the 3pts this Thursday and head into the match having won eight of their 18 home games this season. Granada have lost eight of their 18 away games in La Liga and are already guaranteed a place in the top flight of Spanish football next season and can’t finish any lower than 11th. An average of 2.89 total goals have been scored in Granada’s away games and exactly three goals have been scored in 31% of the visitors’ league games this season, suggesting that there is a decent chance we will see three goals scored on Thursday as well.
