Despite there being an international break this week, not every professional football league has stopped in Europe, including the Spain Segunda Division.
There are several fixtures to be played this week and on Thursday the 1st of April we have a meeting between Real Mallorca and CD Leganes.
The match will be played at the Iberostar Estadi and the hosts begin the week in second place on 61 points while the visitors are in fifth place on 54 points.
Real Mallorca come into the match having suffered a disappointing 4-1 defeat at Fuenlabrada on Monday. They were 3-0 down before half time and the match was already out of reach after only 45 minutes.
That result means Real Mallorca have failed to win any of their last 3 games and their push for automatic promotion has come to a bit of a halt.
Prior to the defeat at Fuenlabrada, Real Mallorca were held to a 0-0 draw at home by Real Oviedo and lost 2-0 at Sporting Gijón, who currently occupy third place in the table.
Trends show Real Mallorca are undefeated in 27 of their last 32 matches in all competitions and will be hoping recent results are just a blip.
They have lost only one of their 5 most recent home games in the league and Real Mallorca are undefeated in 26 of their last 30 Segunda Division matches at the Iberostar Estadi.
CD Leganes make the trip to Mallorca having picked up a point in a 1-1 draw at Almería last weekend. That result means CD Leganes have picked up just a single victory from their last 5 league games.
The win came away from home at Real Oviedo on the 14th of March but CD Leganes have suffered recent defeats at the hands of FC Cartagena away and Fuenlabrada at home.
Away form shows CD Leganes are undefeated in 3 of their last 4 matches. They have picked up victories at Real Oviedo and Girona plus a point at Almería.
Interestingly, in their last 16 games in all competitions, CD Leganes have been undefeated on 13 occasions and they have remained undefeated at half time in each of their last 15 away matches in all competitions.
CD Leganes have found the back of the net in 4 of their last 5 away games but kept just a single clean sheet.
Team news and Real Mallorca are expected to be without three players, with Álex López, I. Ruiz de, and Enzo Lombardo struggling with injury.
CD Leganes travel without five players as Javier Avilés, Javier Eraso, Ignasi Miquel, Jonathan Silva, and Daniel Lasure are injured.
There was not a great deal between the sides when they met in December’s reverse fixture at Butarque and we expect to see more of the same on Thursday night. This match could easily end level with under 2.5 goals scored.
