26 Apr 2009: Recreativo vs Real Mallorca

Game: RECREATIVO vs MALLORCA
Type: SPANISH LA LIGA
Date: 26 April, 2009


PREVIEW
Stranded 3pts away from the safety zone, Recreativo is fully aware that nothing but a win will do tonight as they grapple to stay afloat in the league. After slumping to five consecutive defeats in the previous matches, they are now anchored at 19th position with six matches to go. At home, they have not won since the last 5 and are struggling to find the back of the net - averaging 0.94 goals per game.

Mallorca will be looking to take advantage of Recreativo's troubles to put more misery to the home team. Mallorca have been in a rich vein of form, losing only once in their last 11 matches in the league. The win over Valladolid last week lifted them to 12th position in the standings, and further away from the relegation dogfight. Despite this, they are still leaky at the back when playing away, conceding an average of 1.70 goals per game.


KWIK STATS
HOME > RECREATIVO












AWAY > MALLORCA







THE PICK
Both teams will be expected to attack from the word go, and i'd expect a flurry of goals to dominate this match. This is due to the nature of both Recreativo and Mallorca's defensive frailties. Hence, OVER 2.5 GOALS is the best call.
