Mallorca visits Sevilla in a limit situation

The massive defeat suffered at home against Granada by 2-6 has left a general state of pessimism in the Mallorcan environment as has not been remembered for a long time. The return to the relegation positions together with a very affected state of mind suggests that what remains, Sevilla, Rayo Vallecano and Osasuna, seems like an unattainable mountain.

The visit to Sevilla it is essential because a loss could lead to relegation at home to Rayo this weekendand the numbers of the vermilion team away from home are not exactly to launch rockets.

The general balance away from the island is two wins, two draws and thirteen losses with fourteen goals for and thirty-eight against, a particularly remarkable balance at this time of the season as the Majorcan team accumulates ten consecutive defeats in its last ten outings.

Mallorca will arrive at the Sánchez Pizjuán after losing consecutively in the fields of Granada (4-1), Levante (2-0), Villarreal (3-0), Betis (2-1), Celta (4-3), Espanyol (1-0), all of them still under the direction of Luis Garcia Plazaand in Getafe (1-0), elche (3-0) y Barcelona (2-1), already with Javier Aguirre in front of the team. A streak with 22 goals conceded and only 5 scored.

The streak does not invite optimism, but as the Mexican coach says “statistics are there to be broken.”
