La Liga action will kick off on Saturday at the RCDE Stadium when RCD Espanyol will host RCD Mallorca. Los Periquitos are on the brink of the relegation zone after eight games with just seven points. Los Piratas, on the other hand, have earned themselves 14 points to send them into sixth place in the same amount of games. Check our match prediction below.

The White and Blues had found themselves on the back foot for most of the 90 minutes when they faced Real Betis last week but were able to remain defensively sound until the last five minutes of the match when Betis ultimately broke through to claim a slim 1-0 victory.

That result would be Espanyols’ third consecutive loss, a period during which they had conceded seven goals and only managed to find the back of the net twice.

However, The Parakeets have been decent at home, as they have managed to find two wins in their last four matches where they have averaged over one goal per match this campaign.

Los Bermellones will enter this match with some confidence behind them after two goals in the second half would be enough to claim victory against Real Valladolid, although they failed to keep a clean sheet due to a 94th-minute stunner by Ivan Sanchez.

The Barralet have had a superb run of form winning four of their last five matches this campaign, with their only loss coming against Villareal after being reduced to 10 men and ultimately succumbing to the onslaught of attacks they faced.

Mallorca, however, have enjoyed their travels lately, earning three consecutive wins with an average of two goals per match.
