Mallorca have had a mixed run lately, with a couple of wins, a couple of draws and one loss, so they're not in bad shape but not flying either. Sporting Gijon have been up and down too, winning two and losing three of their recent games, which suggests they're a bit inconsistent right now. When these two met before, one game ended scoreless and the other was decided by a single goal, so recent meetings haven't been packed with goals.

Overall this looks like a fairly close match between two teams who aren't in top form. Mallorca are at home and have been slightly steadier recently, so they seem the more likely side to edge it, though a draw is also a very real possibility.
