It`s all about calculations before this game. Both sides fight for their interests, Mallorca wish for the UEFA and Zaragoza want to survive in the league. However, not even a win would do much for them if Osasuna win over Racing in Santander. Therefore, the game at «Ono Estadio» promises to be a very interesting one.
Only a win provides achievement of their target
The final round is a possibility for Mallorca to make it to Europe. After a season of variable results, the team get a chance to catch the last train to Europe. The UEFA Cup was out of their reach for a period of time. After a series of great results and very efficient games, Mallorca got in a position where it`s very possible to achieve the goal they set for themselves before the championship began. Great strikers duo Guiza - Arango have scored many goals with the help of their fellow midfielders. Their win in Barcelona showed their true face and proved them to be a team who ever surrender. They are favorite for Sunday game against solid Zaragoza squad. The rivals are drowning and Mallorca will have an unpleasant task to finish them off. Coach Manzano believes Osasuna will be capable of managing at least a draw in Santander, since they`re a team playing great away. It`s not the case with Zaragoza.
Mallorca are the worst possible opponent
The 2nd league is almost reality for Zaragoza. It`s not even entirely up to them. They could hope for survival if they win, since it would be unusual if Racing lost such an important game at home after such a great season. The question is whether Zaragoza got the capacity and strength to win. They did play well against Real Madrid, created many great opportunities, but hardly managed to draw, nevertheless. It`s obvious there`s a malfunction in team`s attacks. Great strikers Milito and Oliveira aren`t even the shadows of the players they used to be last season. Sergio Garcia is really doing his best, but also fails to achieve much. The worst case scenario would be if Zaragoza fought a tough win which would do nothing for them if Osasuna won in Santander. The quality is on the side of the team form the city upon Ebro, and it`s a bout time Zaragoza finally won an away game. They are a team with worst away score.
Betting verdict
It`s one of 2 most interesting games of the final round. Both sides need a win desperately, but Zaragoza need it even more. It would be far too great a reward for Mllorca to reach Europe after a good series at very end of championship. Away win.
