Girona will face Mallorca at the Estadi Montilivi on Friday, May 1, 2026, in an important Round 34 La Liga match. This is a crucial game for both teams as they look to stay clear of the relegation zone. Fans can prepare by watching Girona’s last match highlights on their official YouTube channel, which shows their recent 2-1 defeat at Valencia.

The context of this match is very important. Girona are currently 11th with 38 points, while Mallorca sit 15th with 34 points. Both teams are coming off 2-1 defeats in their last matches. While this battle takes place in Spain, tension is also high in other leagues. Daniel Farke has warned his team that Leeds must fight for every point in their upcoming game against Burnley to keep their goals alive.

Team News

Girona will be without Alex Moreno, who is suspended. Mallorca have also been missing Zito Luvumbo in their last two games. Both managers will need to adjust their teams to deal with these absences in a match where small mistakes could decide the result.

In terms of form, Girona has not won any of their last three matches, making this home game a must-win to break the streak. Mallorca is also in a tough spot, having lost six of their last seven away games. Even with these struggles, Girona is closing the Pyshchur deal with a €1 million agreement for Oleksandr Pyshchur to join in June, showing that the club is already planning a summer attack boost. Report understands but once the final whistle blows on Friday, the focus will shift entirely to how these three points impact the final relegation battle.

Girona have a strong home record against Mallorca, winning all three top flight games played at this stadium. Mallorca have a key player in Vedat Muriqi, but their poor away form is a big concern. They have not won an away league match since October, which makes it difficult to expect a positive result here.
