With the kind of top orders they have, Delhi Capitals were one of the most fearsome sides to enter the tournament. Not that they don’t wear that label anymore, their performance certainly doesn’t match the reputation their batsmen have. They have six games left, but that number might not sound like enough if they fail to record a win in this upcoming game. In the current points table, the Delhi Capitals sit sixth with eight points from as many games. They’ve lost their way from one and won one in their last six games and will want to add some consistency to their lackluster campaign so far. Not only did they fill up on the field. The decisions of the management and the skipper were questionable at times. Consequently, they also have a poor net run rate and would want to improve that as well as it can prove to be a crucial difference in the backend of the competition. Still, all is not bleak for the capitals. Their opening pairing, David Warner and Prithvi Shaw, has been as good as anyone in the tournament so far. Both come off the blocks quickly and can take away the game in minutes. They also have a decent batting unit with the likes of Axar Patel and Shadul Thakur able to hit a seven and an eight respectively. However, they would have to find a better way to capitalize on Rovman Powell, whose great hitting skills have so far remained generally hidden from the competition. The way they did it, they should do everything right in this upcoming game. If they are able to do this, getting past them will be an immensely difficult task.
Mallorca is fighting to maintain residence in the elite championship. The team had a rather successful start, while the lack of rotation and experienced performers ultimately affects the results. The islanders had a strong start in the Spanish Cup, where Luis Plaza’s men easily defeated Eibar and Espanyol, but they couldn’t go beyond the quarterfinals. Rayo Vallecano turned out to be stronger this time. In the Premier League the Cinnabar has eight wins and draws after 33 rounds, which brought 32 points and 16th place in the standings. The team’s performance in the attack line looks very modest, which differed less than once per match. After the defeat from Elche (0:3), today’s guests defeated Alaves (2:1) in their field. Costa, Sedlar, Ruiz, Ndiaye and Greif, who has a back injury, will not be able to play today. More today football predictions from the experts can be obtained from the link provided.
