Our prediction for this Primera Division match:
Following back-to-back defeats to Barcelona and Celta Vigo, Mallorca will look to return to winning ways in La Liga when they face Girona on Matchday 17. Los Bermellones suffered a dip in form, but they are surely capable of matching the Catalans in front of home fans. All Sergi Darder, Vedat Muriqi, and Johan Mojica are pushing for a start, while defender Antonio Raillo is banned for the match.
Girona, on the other hand, are on a five-game winless run in all competitions. As Mallorca welcome key players back to the starting XI, we predict that the visitors are going to return to Catalonia with their hands empty. Ladislav Krejci misses out through suspension for the away team, while all Bojan Miovski, Viktor Tsygankov, and Yangel Herrera continue to miss out with injuries. In their last meeting at the venue Mallorca defeated Girona 1-0.

Born in Nijkerkerveen, Netherlands on April 18, 1997, Donny van de Beek is a Dutch footballer who started his youth career at Veensche Boys. In 2008 he was spotted by Ajax scouts who persuaded him to move to Amsterdam. Donny van de Beek continued playing for the Amsterdammers at senior level, establishing himself as a first-team regular.
The 184-cm-tall footballer has three caps with Netherlands U21 team and he made his senior debut with the national team against Romania on November 14, 2017. Van de Beek’s main position is attacking midfield, but he is used as a central midfielder as well. His preferred foot is right and he has a contract with Ajax until June 30, 2022.
Dutch football experts often compare him with Davy Klaassen as he works very hard and play between the lines. Donny van de Beek scored 9 goals for the Amsterdammers in the 2018/2019 Eredivisie season, providing 10 assists for his teammates.

Thanks to a win over Deportivo La Coruna in the 2018/2019 Segunda Division play-offs final Mallorca secured promotion to Primera Division. Los Bermellones returned to the Spanish top flight following a six-year absence. Over the years Mallorca have turned their Estadi de son Moix into a real fortress, with the team producing much better showings at home than on the travels.
Opened in June 1999, the venue can hold up to 23,142 people. The club based in Balearic Islands are well known for their red shirts with one black stripe and black shorts. Mallorca’s away colours are white and red. Former Barcelona and Inter ace Samuel Eto’o is undisputedly the most notable footballer who played for the club.
Back in 1999 Mallorca made it to the UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup final, with the team suffering a 2-1 loss to Lazio in the title game. Four years later los Bermellones won Spanish Copa del Rey, which is considered the club’s biggest success.
