Girona Faces Mallorca Amid Rain Threat on May 5

GERONA, Spain — The LaLiga match between Girona and Mallorca is set to take place at Montilivi on May 5, 2025, at 9 p.m. local time, pending weather conditions. Both teams are in critical positions as they approach the end of the season, with Girona fighting to avoid relegation and Mallorca eyeing a push for European competition.
Girona, currently sitting 16th in the standings with 35 points, has not won in three months. They are just three points above the relegation zone, having drawn their last match against Leganés. Coach Míchel emphasized the need for his team to reach 42 points for safety in the league.
“For us to stay in Primera División, we need our best version. If any player feels unprepared, they should speak up,” Míchel said, reaffirming the importance of teamwork and commitment.
Meanwhile, Mallorca, positioned 9th with 44 points, aims to secure a spot in Europe. Head coach Jagoba Arrasate highlighted the value of their recent performances and the significance of this match.
“There is little room for error now as we gear up for the final five matches. We must seize this chance to enhance our season,” Arrasate stated.
The match is under threat of cancellation due to severe weather warnings, including heavy rainfall. The AEMET (State Meteorological Agency) reported that parts of Catalonia, including Vacarisses, recorded up to 33.5 mm of rain in just 30 minutes.
As the teams warm up, players from Mallorca have arrived at the stadium, with significant decisions made about the lineup. Notably, Muriqi will not participate for Mallorca, while Girona will miss Miguel Gutiérrez due to ankle discomfort.
Fans are advised to keep an eye on updates regarding the match’s status as both sides prepare for what could be a decisive night of football in LaLiga.
