February 14th features a match where Mallorca hosts Athletic Club at Iberostar Estadi in a clash of these two extremely mismatched La Liga teams. Weather on match day is looking like a cloudy and cool day, with daytime temperatures of only 9 degrees, making for an unpleasant day. In their last match, 17th placed Mallorca, recorded a 2-1 win against Cádiz. Rubén Alcaraz scored the first goal for Cádiz in the 8th minute, then Salva Sevilla tied it up for Mallorca in the 20th minute But fortunately they were able to complete the comaback in the 66th minute on a penalty goal by Vedat Muriqi. They’re hoping to improve on their recent performance, having earned only 9 points in their last 10 matches, while in their last match, Athletic Club recorded a 1-1 draw against Valencia. Raúl García scored the first goal for Athletic Club in the 37th minute, then Hugo Duro tied it up for Valencia in the 65th minute earning Valencia a comeback draw. Athletic Club is on a hot streak lately, having won 7 of their last 10.
In their last match together, in San Mamés Barria, Athletic Club was victorious by a score of 2 to 0. Dani Vivian struck first for Athletic Club in the 68th minute on a feed from Muniain, then Williams added another in the 74th minute on a feed from Muniain In the end, Mallorca couldn’t muster any offence and Athletic Club ran away with the shutout win.
Both Muniain and Íñigo Martínez have been the hottest scorers for Athletic Club in the last five each having scored 2 goals each. Abdón Prats and Takefusa Kubo are the top scorers for Mallorca in the last five matches, but unfortunately they only have one goal.
Amath Ndiaye, Iddrisu Baba, Franco Russo and Greif are unavailable to play for Luis García Plaza’s team, while Marcelino García Toral’s squad will be without Oihan Sancet, De Marcos, Íñigo Martínez, Yeray, Asier Villalibre and Williams Arthuer.
