Roberto Morales, a well-known Ukrainian journalist and commentator, shared his expectations from today's Spanish league match between Mallorca and Girona.
Roberto Morales- "Los Bermejones are close to the relegation zone, and the little Catalans are in second place in the standings. But these positions, in my opinion, do not indicate favouritism of the guests. "Mallorca defeated Real Sociedad in a penalty shootout in San Sebastian on Tuesday and reached the final of the King of Spain Cup for the fourth time in its history (the islanders won the trophy in 2003). Obviously, it took a lot of effort, but the emotions are super positive and the stands will be very positive from the start. Javier Aguirre has already beaten Girona 3-2 in the cup and at home, so he knows what to do with such an attacking machine.
And Mallorca knows exactly how to catch opponents' mistakes. It is important for them not to let the Catalans accelerate, as it was in the first round, when Michel Sanchez's team won 5-3 at home. Viktor Tsygankov, Artem Dovbyk and Saiwo are likely to form the basis of the attack for the visitors. The teams approached the match with a minimum of losses among important players - only Maffeo for the hosts and Blind for Girona have already recovered. The bet is on goals for both teams and the hosts will not lose," Morales said.
