Malaga vs Real Mallorca

Primera, Spain

Date: 20 December, 2009

Stadium: Estadio La Rosaleda

Malaga wasted a minimum lead last weekend when they let hosts, Valladolid level the score thanks to Jesus Gomez who scored an own goal. On the other hand, Mallorca finally broke the spell in away games as they reached a minimum away win over Osasuna.In the last round Malaga opened the score through Duda, but failed to take three points, thus recording the fifth straight draw and even seventh if we count in the Cup games with Zaragoza. Coach Juan Ramon Muniz can count on defender Jesus Gomez who earned a minor injury while scoring an own goal against Valladolid. Also, the coach expects Inter striker Obina to return to the starting line-up, so we expect a much stronger Malaga than last weekend. The match against Mallorca will be the last chance for the hosts to record a league win, after the one in the opening round against Atletico Madrid, and escape the relegation zone before the winter break’ The problem might be the not so good tradition in hosting Mallorca, as they drew last three games and the last time they won Mallorca at home was over six years ago. Still, the hosts must win, so they will attack from the first whistle, which will leave enough space for the visitors to counterattack, so think about Only in the first round did the hosts manage to keep a clean sheet at La Rosaleda, but not once in the last six games did they concede over two goals. Having in mind that Mallorca can boast good away form, as well as the fact that they have never scored more than two goals on this ground, seems tempting.After six failures, last weekend Mallorca recorded the first away win this season in Pamplona. Gonzalo Castro was the hero of the game, so Mallorca arrive to Andalusia aiming to keep the fifth place on the standings. Mallorca can’t boast good defense away, having in mind that in the last seven games they managed to keep a clean sheet only once and they have one of the worst goal margins in Primera (7-13). That is why we have no doubts that visiting defense won’t be able to resist the attacks of the hosts and .One of the best individuals in Mallorca is definitely the Uruguayan international, midfielder Gonzalo Castro, who scored three goals in the last four games thus helping his side move up on the standings. Mallorca play with one forward away and Castro’s role in these matches is much more offensive and having in mind the excellent form of this striker, we think that might be worth a shot.Malaga must get off to an aggressive start to reach the second league win. Boosted by the first away win, Mallorca will try to create some problems for the hosts and having in mind that the last three duels at La Rosaleda ended drawn, it would be no surprise if the tradition continued this weekend.   We will post information about results of this match, as soon as posible.. stay with us.
