Our prediction for this Primera Division match:
Following a 1-1 draw with Cadiz, Mallorca will be aiming to put an end to their four-match winless run when they host Elche to their Visit Mallorca Estadi. Los Bermellones have drawn each of their last three league fixtures, and, no doubt, they are determined to return to winning ways in Primera Division. Both Sedlar is banned for the match, while Raullo and Kubo remain in the recovery room. Head coach Luis Garcia Plaza will have to watch the game from the stands as he was sent off against Cadiz as well.
Los Franjiverdes, on the other hand, suffered a 2-1 loss to Real Madrid in their last league match. Elche are eager to escape the danger zone, but seeing that Mallorca are a real force to be reckoned with at home, punters from all around the globe can find value in betting on Luis Garcia Plaza’s troops. Raul Guti serves a one-game ban for the visitors, while Pablo Piatti remains in the treatment room.
