Mallorca’s problem is goalscoring and in twelve league matches played this is more than evident. The team only scored 10 goalsat less than one per game, and risks ending the week as the lowest scorer in the First Division, since only Real Sociedad, Leganés, Getafe, Valladolid and Valencia have scored less, but have not yet played their matches .
As we enter matchday 12, the team’s top scorers are Dani Rodríguez, Valery Fernández and Vedat Muriqi, with only two goals each of them. The list is completed Abdón, Rillo And larinsince the other goal was scored as an own goal. A very poor balance, with players from whom we expect a much more offensive contribution, like Darder, Robert Navarro or Morlanes, who have not even been released always.
There is a general consensus that the team’s play is much more dynamic this season than the previous one, mainly thanks to the arrival of two players like Mojica And Robert Navarro which mark differences compared to the 23-24 model. However This change does not translate into the creation of scoring chances and above all in efficiency against the opposing goal.
Mallorca will play next Sunday against Atlético de Madrid at Son Moix. Arrasate will recover Samú Costa, who, due to sanctions, could not be available yesterday in Mendizorroza and will undoubtedly be a wonderful opportunity to check the team’s performance against the big guys. On the first day they equalized against Real Madrid, in a great match of the Vermillions they beat Betis in Seville and lost in the last minute at home against Villarreal. The visit of Atlético, a team mired in a deep crisiswill undoubtedly be an unbeatable touchstone for Jagoba Arrasate’s team.
