Granada CF vs Mallorca

The second round of the 2026-27 Segunda División campaign sees Granada CF host RCD Mallorca on Monday evening, yet the fixture remains in doubt pending a structural inspection of the Estadio Nuevo Los Cármenes following a series of seismic events in the region.

Stadium in the spotlight after earthquake concerns

A team of around twenty specialists, including municipal technicians, club officials, and an independent engineering firm, has been assessing the venue since Wednesday. The inspection, initiated jointly by Granada CF and LaLiga, aims to confirm whether the stadium can safely accommodate thousands of spectators for the 21:30 kick-off. A final decision will rest on the technical reports and the approval of local authorities.

Team news and early-season form

Granada opened their campaign with an away trip to Real Oviedo, where summer additions Owen and Raúl Lizoain both featured. While the squad has no reported injury issues from that match, head coach Fran Escribá may be forced to prepare for the Mallorca contest without the certainty of a home crowd. Mallorca, relegated from La Liga at the end of 2024-25 alongside Granada, are looking to bounce back quickly and will view any disruption to the hosts' preparations as an opportunity.

Familiar foes in a new setting

The two clubs met regularly in the top flight before suffering relegation together. Their most recent encounters were tight affairs, often decided by a single goal. A renewed rivalry in the second tier adds an extra dimension, particularly for Mallorca, who beat Granada in their last league visit to the Balearic Islands in 2025.

With the fixture dependent on the engineer's report, both sets of supporters will be watching the club channels closely. Should the match proceed, the winner could gain an early foothold near the top of the table ahead of matchday three.
