Our prediction for this Segunda Division match:
Unlike last season, Espanyol and Mallorca take on each other in Segunda Division this time out. RCDE Stadium will host Sunday’s showdown, which pits together the two teams who are eyeing promotion to La Liga. Los Periquitos made a flying start to the season, with the team rolling over Albacete at home ground. The Catalans aim to retain top position in the standings, and they are likely to stick to their attacking style of play against Mallorca.
A man to watch in the home team will be China international Lei Wu, who opened his goal-scoring account in the season opener. Los Bermellones, on the other hand, kicked off the new season with a severely-weakened squad, and it is no surprise they are seen as underdogs in Sunday’s clash. Anyhow, home win should be considered as Espanyol have turned their RCDE Stadium into a real fortress.
Highlighted Player (Victor Sanchez):

Victor Sanchez began his senior career at Barcelona, playing eight games for the Catalan giants in La Liga. He played for Barca B and Barca C in the past as well, but in 2011 he signed a two-year deal with Swiss side Neuchtatel Xamax. In the 2012 winter transfer window Sanchez returns to Spain, but this time out he joined Barca’s local rivals Espanyol.
The midfielder, who is capable of playing as a defender as well, signed a three-and-a-half year deal with los Periquitos and he has been playing for the club ever since. Victor Sanchez won the Champions League, La Liga and Copa del Rey trophies in the 2008/2009 season with Barcelona. He has yet to make his Spain debut, but he has three caps for Catalonia.
Victor Sanchez made seven appearances for Barcelona in the 2008/2009 campaign. Sanchez has a contract with Espanyol, which expires on 30 June, 2018. The midfielder was born on 8 September, 1987 in Terrasa.
Highlighted Team (Mallorca):

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.
