My Prediction
Mallorca by 1
Alright, then. Coming up we have a thrilling face-off between Getafe and Mallorca. There certainly isn't a clear favorite in this one, but don't despair. Let's do the deep dive here folks.
Starting with the goalkeepers, Mallorca has Leo Román and Dominik Greif guarding their posts, with ratings clocking in at 6.80 and 6.45 respectively. They're not exactly a brick-wall given their middle-of-the-road save rate. On the other side, Getafe’s netminder, David Soria, proudly sits on a 7.15 rating, an improvement from the Mallorca soldiers, and holding eight saves this season.
Let's talk about the top players from each camp. For Mallorca, Larin, Darder and Maffeo are the lads to watch. Cyle Larin's season rating at 7.15 is held up with 3 impressive goals and a pretty decent pass accuracy of 58.7%. Sergi Darder might not be a goal-scoring machine, but don't let that fool you- his accurate pass % of 79.1 speaks volumes about his ability to weave the play. Pablo Maffeo also chipped in, nudging the team onward with a 71.7% pass accuracy.
Meanwhile at Getafe, Luis Milla, Diego Rico and Álvaro Rodríguez are the knights in shining armor. Milla is coming off a strong season with a 7.23 rating and a pass accuracy of 89.5%. Diego Rico is holding his ground with a 7.13 rating, but it's Rodríguez who seems to be the real show pony here with an impression of two goals on only two shots on goal. Now that's efficiency!
Chewing over the past matchups, we see a couple of scissors-paper-rock situations with Getafe and Mallorca each scraping a win and sharing a lackluster draw. Mallorca have the most recent win, so if you believe in momentum, they've got it.
Now let's touch on the regular seasons. Mallorca’s on the upper hand with an 8-3-7 win-draw-loss compared to Getafe’s rather unimpressive 3-7-7. Recent results saw Mallorca net 3 wins and 2 losses, whereas Getafe managed a win, more losses, and an unsavory tie. They need to shake off the dust if they're planning to walk away with the win.
So who will snag the victory? Based on our fortune-telling, it might be the Mallorca magicians pulling the rabbit out of the hat this time. Considering the performance of their star players coupled with a strong season record and recent form, my chips are on them.
