Bottom-placed Mallorca (LWLWL) will host Granada (LWDWL) in round 37 of the Spanish La Liga Santander at the Mallorca Estadi in Palma de Mallorca on Thursday.

Seeing all five of their league clean sheets this term come at home, Mallorca has recorded no La Liga draw in six matches played anywhere and an average of 3.17 goals per game therein. Furthermore, none of their last ten league fixtures have stood goalless at the break. Sitting at the 19th position with 32 points, tied with Leganes, Mallorca looks to extend their lead and save themselves from relegation trouble. They have recorded 9 wins, 5 draws, and 22 losses so far. In their last time out, Mallorca suffered a disappointing 2-0 loss to Sevilla to record their 6th loss since league restart. Lucas Ocampos’s unstoppable penalty and Youssef En Nesyri’s late goal secured the lead for Sevilla. Overall, Mallorca has registered 37 goals, 61 conceded goals, 19 assists, 5 clean sheets, 120 shots on-target, 85 yellow cards, and 3 red card bookings.

Croatian forward Budimir is a key player to look out for in the match. He has scored almost one-third of Mallorca’s league goals this season, with three of his 12 goals coming since the restart. Meanwhile, Mallorca’s goalie, Manuel Reina, will stay in front of the team’s net. Ranked 17th, Reina has allowed 55 goals, an average of 1.57 goals conceded per 90 minutes, 116 saves and 5 clean sheets.

On the other hand, Granada’s 2-1 defeat to Real Madrid in their last time out was their third consecutive league game to feature more than 2.5 goals. Tending to improve as games progress, they’ve scored the final goal of the match in their last four games. Granada occupies the 10th position with 50 points and has recorded 14 wins, 8 draws, and 14 losses. In their last time out, Darwin Machis’ 50th-minute consolation goal was not enough for Granada to stop Real Madrid. Overall, Granada has recorded 46 goals, 44 conceded goals, 30 assists, 12 clean sheets, 115 shots on-target, 104 yellow cards, and 2 red card bookings.

A key player leading Granada’s forward group is Darwin Machis. Though it was just a consolation strike, Darwin Machís’ goal for Granada against Real was his fourth of seven this season to come on or after the 50th minute. In front of the net for Granada is Rui Silva. Silva has allowed 41 goals, an average of 1.24 goals allowed per 90 minutes, 92 saves and 11 clean sheets.

Mallorca has recorded only one win against Granada in all their meetings. In their last four meetings, Granada won 3 by a lone goal margin and recorded one draw. Granada is an average-performing visiting team with 5 wins, and 5 draws in 18 away games. In contrast, Mallorca has won 8 out of 18 games as the host, which puts them in the 14th position.
