Mallorca will take on Espanyol in an exciting encounter in the matchday three of the Spanish La Liga on Friday the 25th of August at Visit Mallorca Estadi.
Mallorca will be looking to continue their impressive start to the 2021-22 La Liga campaign after securing four points from the two matches played, a draw in the first round against Real Betis and a win against Alaves last weekend.
The four points have brought Mallorca to the fifth position in the league table and a victory on Friday would boost their confidence to retain their stay in the top flight after the promotion from the Segunda division and before they encounter Bilbao in the next match.
Espanyol on the other hand have not had rough opening in the league. They managed to secure a point from each of the past two matches securing two points against Osasuna and Villarreal. Espanyol sit in the 13th position in the table.
Espanyol got the 2017-2020 manager, Vicente Moreno, last August and he saw the team successful in his first season. Vicente Moreno is now with the task of keeping them in the top flight and having an impressive season.
Espanyol have not been left behind on bringing on board new signings this summer with the incoming of Landry Dimata and Alvaro Vadillo on permanent deal and also Sergi Gomez and Alexi Vidal to make new options.
This is a duel of teams that want to belong to the place with the best and we expect a match with a lot of intensity.
