Match Preview: Mallorca vs Athletic in LaLiga EA Sports

Mallorca will take on Athletic in a match corresponding to the 20th round of LaLiga EA Sports. The game is set to take place this Saturday, January 17, at 16:15 at Son Moix Stadium. The Balearic team comes into this match with an advantage in terms of rest, having not participated in the Copa del Rey this week, unlike their opponents, the Lions.

Following a controversial 2-1 defeat to Rayo Vallecano last weekend, where a penalty decision against Valjent was highly debated, Mallorca’s coach, Arrasate, expressed significant displeasure with the officiating. Another loss could further complicate the coach’s situation.

Conversely, Athletic faced a tough challenge in their midweek Copa del Rey match against Cultural. Despite taking the lead three times, they ultimately secured victory with a penalty goal during extra time.

The showdown between Mallorca and Athletic is scheduled for Saturday, January 17, at 16:15.
