Recent form

RCD Espanyol

The team is currently on a three-game losing streak, which is their longest run of defeats in the given period. Prior to this slump, they had shown promise with back-to-back wins against Deportivo Alavés and Rayo Vallecano.

On a more positive note, their games tend to be high-scoring affairs, with 67% of matches seeing over 2.5 goals and both teams scoring in two-thirds of the fixtures. The 4-1 loss to Real Madrid stands out as a particularly high-scoring game, contributing significantly to their negative goal difference. Despite their current 17th position in the league, Espanyol has shown the ability to score consistently, netting in five out of the six recent matches.

Mallorca's defensive prowess is evident, having conceded only 4 goals in the last 6 games (0.67 per game) and keeping 3 clean sheets. While their attack has been steady, scoring 7 goals (1.17 per game), there haven't been any particularly high-scoring affairs.

Recent home/away form

RCD Espanyol

RCD Espanyol's recent home form shows a mixed performance with some positive signs. They have won two of their last three La Liga matches at home, scoring multiple goals in both victories.

However, they have also conceded in three of these four matches, indicating some defensive vulnerabilities. Their clean sheet record of 2 in the last 6 games (including friendlies) suggests room for improvement in their defensive solidity at home.
