In my opinion Mallorca is clear favorite of today's match up.

Mallorca have excellent season with Javier Aguirre on the bench, at the moment they are only 3 points behind 6th place so European Cups it's realistic goal for them, but they have to win such matches against lower rank opponents without any excuses. Mallorca today will play with the strongest possible line up. They are in superb form at home as they won in last two home league matches against two strong La Liga teams - Real Madrid and Villarreal.

Elche is the worst team in La Liga, virtually relegated as they have only 9 points so far. In last round they recorded extremely painful loss as they lost 2:3 at home against Betis despite lead 2:0. In addition to that they have 3 new absences - defenders Magallan & Roco and midfielder Cheikh (all of them played against Betis). Top scorer Milla is still unavailable as well.

On those circumstances Mallorca is really good option to play.

在我看来，马洛卡显然是今天比赛的热门。

马洛卡本赛季表现出色，阿吉雷在替补席上，目前他们只落后第6名3分，所以欧洲冠军杯对他们来说是现实的目标，但他们必须在对阵低级别对手的比赛中获胜，没有任何借口。马洛卡今天将有最强的阵容出战。他们在主场的状态非常好，因为他们在最近两场主场比赛中战胜了两支西甲强队——皇家马德里和比利亚雷亚尔。

埃尔切是西甲最差的球队，到目前为止他们只拿到了9分，实际上已经降级。在上一轮比赛中，他们在主场2:0领先的情况下以2:3输给了贝蒂斯。除此之外，他们还有3名新的缺阵球员——后卫马格伦和罗科以及中场谢赫(他们都在对阵贝蒂斯的比赛中出场)。头号得分手米拉仍然无法上场。

在这种情况下，马洛卡是一个很好的选择。
