Our prediction for this Segunda Division match:
All eyes will be on Estadio La Rosaleda when Malaga and Mallorca face each other in the La Liga 2 round 38. Los Boquerones do not to give up on their playoffs dream, and we are positive that they will leave their hearts on the field in Saturday’s football game. Malaga failed to impress in a 3-0 loss at Espanyol, but they are surely capable of matching Mallorca on home soil. Los Bermellones, on the other hand, aim to build on a 2-1 win over Mirandes.
Mallorca are on the right track to secure automatic promotion to Primera Division, but they can’t afford any complacency in the remainder of the season. Considering that head coach Luis Garcia Plaza can count on key players for Saturday’s clash, we predict that the visitors are going to grab one point from the match. Taking everything into account, we believe that there is a big value in betting on draw.
Highlighted Player (David Lomban):
David Lomban was born in Aviles, Asturias on 5 June, 1987 and he began his senior career at Valencia. The 185-cm-tall defender played 37 matches for Valencia B and he made no more than three appearances for the first team. After spending the 2009/2010 season on loan at Salamanca, he joined Xerez in 2010 and two years later he signed for Barcelona B.
David Lomban played just one season for the Catalan outfit in Segunda Division and then he decided to take a bigger step towards a brighter future as he joined La Liga side Elche. After making 62 appearances for the club, he signed a three-year contract with Granada on 10 August, 2015. Lomban played 31 games for los Granadinos in the 2015/2016 La Liga campaign, but he failed to find the net for the Andalusian outfit in the top flight.
David Lomban’s contract with Granada expires on 30 June, 2018. Speaking of his international career, the Granada defender has 11 caps for Spain U17 and he played one match for Spain U20 team as well.
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.
