One-way final of the playoff, Deportivo-Mallorca. Let’s go for the both goal, no.
The winner of this final will be the third team to ascend to First, so in this game I expect a lot of security from both.
Deportivo won in their two semifinal matches against Málaga, 4-2 and 0-1, with a 5-2 aggregate for them.
Mallorca, after a 2-0 win in the first leg and a 1-0 in the return, placed a 2-1 favorable against Albacete.
Being the first match of this final, I think that neither will want to risk to sentence this tie as soon as possible. Maybe Mallorca is the one who tries to find the goal because of the double value in case of a draw.
Depor arrives after conceding 2 goals from Málaga in the first leg, being the only one of their last 6 with goals from both: 1-0 vs Lugo, Málaga and Mallorca, 2-0 vs Córdoba and 0-0 vs Elche complete those 6 matches .
They have been the least beaten as local, with only 14 goals in 21 games (0.67 goal / match).
Another fact, in principle, low are the goals in favor of Mallorca away from Son Moix: 18 (0.85 goal / match), while their respective rivals scored away from home 24 (Granada), 23 (Malaga), 25 (Albacete and Osasuna).
In addition, another data is the state of form of his goalkeeper Manolo Reina, who did very good performances yesterday against Albacete despite fitting that goal ‘forced’ by the La Mancha.
I think no one will risk too much on Thursday, maybe Mallorca because of the comments made earlier, but Depor is not interested in conceding either as they would be forced to score if or if in Mallorca.
