Preview: Mallorca Hosts Girona in La Liga Clash

MALLORCA, Spain (Interstat) — Mallorca will host Girona in a La Liga match on Sunday, Jan. 4, 2026, as both sides return from a lengthy winter break seeking momentum for the second half of the season.

The matchup at Estadi Mallorca Son Moix pits a Mallorca side coming off a road draw against a Girona team looking to rebound from a heavy defeat.

Mallorca (8-5-5) enters the contest after a 1-1 draw at Valencia on Dec. 19. Javier Aguirre’s team has been strong at home this season, with recent wins over Elche and Sevilla at Son Moix. Their form has been inconsistent, however, mixing positive results with losses to Villarreal and Real Betis.

Girona (6-7-5) will aim to shake off a disappointing 3-0 home loss to Atletico Madrid on Dec. 21, which halted a modest uptick in form. Prior to that, Michel’s squad earned a notable 2-1 victory at Real Sociedad and a hard-fought 1-1 draw with Real Madrid. Their season has been defined by volatility, with impressive results often followed by letdowns, such as a 3-0 loss at Elche on Dec. 7.

The statistical service Interstat projects a narrow 2-1 victory for the visiting Girona.

History will be on Mallorca’s mind, as they seek to leverage home advantage against a Girona side that has struggled for consistency on the road. Girona’s away record includes the win at Sociedad but also the comprehensive defeat at Elche.

Following this match, Mallorca will visit Rayo Vallecano on Jan. 11. Girona’s next fixture is a home game against Osasuna on Jan. 10.

Kickoff is scheduled for 4:15 p.m. local time (1515 GMT).
