Espanyol vs Mallorca: Preview, Predictions, H2h. Lineups Preview, Lineups, H2h for September 16, 2025

On Monday, La Liga’s fourth round features a match at Cornellà-El Prat stadium in Barcelona, where Espanyol will face Mallorca. Here’s a look at what to expect from this game.

Match preview

Espanyol, under Manolo González, has started the season strongly and is among the top teams in La Liga. They have been particularly effective at home, achieving back-to-back wins against Atlético and Osasuna, making them a tough opponent on their own pitch. They are unbeaten in their last four league matches and have not lost in 11 games, showing solid teamwork across the board.

The team tends to take the lead early, scoring first in their last four matches. Their home record is impressive, with only two losses in their last 15 La Liga games. With a solid defense and players like Puado and García, they manage their game well and attack effectively.

Conversely, Mallorca has had a rough start to the season, earning just one point from three matches and currently on a six-match winless run in La Liga. Although they have faced difficult teams, their away performance remains a challenge, with their last win away from home occurring several months ago.

Despite recent signings, Mallorca still struggles with their offensive capabilities. Against Espanyol’s organized gameplay and strong defense, they are likely to find it challenging to secure a positive outcome. Historically, it has been tough for them to play in Barcelona.

Probable line-ups

• Espanyol: Dmitrovic, Calero, El-Hilali, Romero, Cabrera, Milla, Expósito, Lozano, Dolan, García, Puado
• Mallorca: Roman, Kumbulla, Valjent, Raíllo, Morey, Lato, Darder, Morlanes, Torre, Muriqi, Joseph

Match facts & head-to-head

• Espanyol has won all six home La Liga matches against Mallorca.
• Mallorca is winless in their last five away La Liga games.
• In Espanyol’s last nine home matches, two or three goals have been scored.

Prediction

Espanyol is demonstrating strong consistency and has a solid home advantage, aiming for a spot in European competitions. Mallorca is still trying to find their form, especially on the road, and it’s unlikely they will end their negative streak in Barcelona. My prediction: Espanyol with a (0) handicap at odds of 1.55.
