A ‘classic’ of Spanish football to close the 40th round in Second, Deportivo-Mallorca, where we seek the tie or victory of the visiting team.
The Balearic Islands visit Depor at a good moment to face the final stretch of the season. Their only defeat (2-1 vs Nàstic in 94 ‘) in the last 6 games is a reflection of that, winning Almería, Sporting, Málaga and Rayo Majadahonda, earning a draw in their visit to Numancia. Points that have made Mallorca placed 4th with 67 points, Albacete 1, 2 above Málaga and 4 above Cadiz. For this game they must take into account that Albacete will visit Sporting and Granada (2nd) will receive the Cadiz, so they can lose points in favor of Mallorca.
They will visit a Deportivo that has two consecutive setbacks that have made him lose the playoff positions: 7th with 61 points, tied at home against Cádiz (1-1) and falling in the Galician derby against Lugo (1-0) .
Also, as locals have lost enough strength. His last home win was on January 20, almost 4 and a half months ago (2-0 vs Albacete). Since then, 8 meetings, with 5 draws and 3 losses.
As for Mallorca, it is true that it is not one of the best visitors of the competition, but victories against Málaga (0-1) or draws like that achieved in Cádiz (1-1) are a sample of what the team is capable of shoot before big teams.
To score in Riazor would strengthen his goal of entering the playoff by going up to Primera, and to continue like that, I do not doubt that they will achieve it.
PREDICTION: Dep. La Coruna to win @ 2,05
