There is all the reason to expect an even match if we look at the results this season as well as last season where they ended in equal points in the promotion season from Segunda, but Espanyol performances have been a lot more impressive so far and they are my choice!

Mallorca matches so far with expected goal data xG look like this:

Mallorca saved one point from the Betis game by one excellent attack early on, which was executed by left-back Olivan, but apart from that moment Mallorca created about 1/5 worth of the goal in the remaining 90 minutes, and all in all a fair score in my eyes would had been a narrow away win.

Winning Alaves away is traditionally not at all easy and has to be respected, but I doubt Alaves class at the moment a lot, and there was also a red card for them which made the job easier.

All in all, I see yet no reason to change my preseason ranking, Mallorca are likely to fight agaist relegation all season despite making a few nice signings, Take Kubo is a classy midfielder and Fer Nino, the striker from Villarreal scored the winner in Vitoria and perhaps a brighter future ahead than I thought?

A few doubts and injuries only, nothing to decide to game.

Lineups by local media:

Espanyol have so far played two times a 0-0 draw, but they are not at all as dull as it may sound like!

Away at Pamplona the goal expectation was not very high for either side, but as Osasuna as extremely strong at home and a lot improved for this season it is more than a respectable result. As I write I am rewatching their match v Villarreal, the current Europa league title holder, and Espanyol have been the better side from the start, and in fact won the xG by about 1.7-0.6!

Raul de Tomas, or RdT as he is often called was the best striker and scorer in Segunda, and he has showed already his class and could have already 2 goals in his tally with some better luck, but they also have Dimata and new signing from Betis, Loren Moron who is good but need to get his self-confidence back, and it should return along with playing time.

Espanyol are without Pedrosa and Wu Lei, but they can show two olympic silver medallists from Tokyo, defender Oscar Gil and midfielder Javi Puado.

Nothing against Mallorca - actually will head to Palma myself next week - but Espanyol are the better side, they will finish somewhere 10 positions higher in the end, and they are due some good luck after excellent performances!

0-2

有理由期待一个更匹配如果我们看看结果本赛季和上赛季,他们以相等的点在促销季节从乙级联赛,但西班牙人的表现更令人印象深刻,他们是我的选择!

马略卡比赛到目前为止的预期进球数据是这样的:

马略卡岛救了一个点从贝蒂斯的比赛由一个优秀的攻击,被处决的左后卫奥利文但是除了那一刻马略卡岛创造剩余价值目标的1/5 90分钟,和所有在一个公平的分数在我眼里已经狭窄的客场胜利。

从传统上讲，在客场赢得Alaves队是不容易的，必须受到尊重，但我现在很怀疑Alaves队的水平，而且他们还得到了一张红牌，这让比赛变得更容易了。

总而言之,我认为没有理由改变我的季前赛排名,马略卡岛可能会战斗反对整个赛季降级尽管做出一些不错的球员,久保是一个优雅的中场,拿来尼诺,在维多利亚的前锋比利亚雷亚尔攻入了致胜球,也许比我想象一个光明的未来?

只有一些怀疑和受伤，没有什么可以决定比赛。

当地媒体报道:

西班牙人到目前为止已经打了两场0-0的平局，但他们一点也不像听起来那么沉闷!

客场对潘普洛纳的进球期望都不是很高，但是奥萨苏纳在主场非常强大，本赛季进步很大，这不仅仅是一个令人尊敬的结果。在我写这篇文章的时候，我重看了他们对比利亚雷亚尔的比赛，比利亚雷亚尔是目前的欧罗巴联赛冠军，西班牙人从一开始就表现得更好，实际上以1.7-0.6的优势赢得了xG !

劳尔德·托马斯,或RdT他通常被称为是最好的射手,射手在乙级联赛中,他已经显示了他的阶级和可能已经2球符合一些更好的运气,但是也有Dimata从贝蒂斯和新签,罗兰白痴谁是不错,但需要找回他的自信,它会随着游戏时间返回。

西班牙人队没有佩德罗萨和吴磊，但是他们可以有来自东京的两名奥运银牌得主，后卫奥斯卡·吉尔和中场球员哈维·普多。

对马洛卡的比赛没有任何问题——实际上下周我将前往帕尔马——但西班牙人是更好的球队，他们最终将以高出10个名次的位置结束比赛，他们在出色的表现之后应该有一些好运!

预测比分0:2。
