Read on for our free predictions and betting tips.
Mallorca
After a long streak of games without a win, seven games to be precise, Mallorca got the victory last matchday at the least expected time and against the least expected opponent; Atletico Madrid. Winning away and, above all, against the current La Liga Santander champions is sure to have been a great confidence booster for the upcoming matches for them.
Of the 26 total goals Mallorca have conceded, only seven of them have come at Son Moix Stadium, which shows the defensive strength of this team playing at home. It should also be noted that in eight games played at Mallorca’s home stadium so far, only 15 goals have been conceded in total, an average of 1.88 total goals per game.
Mallorca have not lost an official match against Celta Vigo since 2006 to the present day.
Celta Vigo
After losing yet another match at home, this time 1-2 to Valencia, Celta Vigo travel to the island of Mallorca for this matchday, knowing that their performance as an away team has been much better this season than at home.
To give you an idea of how different this team is depending on the matchday, in terms of level of play and results, of Celta’s 16 total points so far, 11 of them have come with them playing away.
Recovering the best version of Iago Aspas, Celta Vigo’s best player, has to be the main objective of his coach, Eduardo Coudet.
It is true that Celta play well away, but Mallorca also play well at home, especially in defence, where they have the record of a team in the top half of the table. The difference between the two teams is that one comes from beating Atletico Madrid (Mallorca) and the other comes from losing at home to Valencia (Celta Vigo), so Mallorca’s motivation must be very high. We think Mallorca are slight favourites to win this match.
