Mallorca vs Villarreal: Predictions and Betting Tips

Mallorca

Mallorca’s unbeaten run came to an end in the last match when they lost 2-0 to Athletic Club, having won two games and drawn one in their previous matches.

In their only other season in La Liga, 2019-2020, Mallorca conceded the most goals of any team, 65 in 38 games. Times have changed, however, with some new players, so there hopefully won’t be a repeat this season.

Villarreal

The season has been a little disappointing for Villarreal, with three draws in their first three games, and a surprising lack of goals for a team of their level, with only two goals scored.

Last season Villarreal were the fourth highest scoring team and the sixth best away team. Considering that the team has changed very little, and may, in fact, be stronger, we think that Villarreal will finish this season in the top six again.

Key Stats:

• Mallorca’s last five games have ended with under 2.5 total match goals
• Mallorca have only conceded three goals in their last five games
• Five consecutive matches without winning for Villarreal, comprising three draws and two defeats
• Villarreal have conceded seven goals in their last five games

Mallorca vs Villarreal Predictions

Although, in theory, Villarreal are a superior team to Mallorca, the respective performances in the first few rounds of matches might challenge this, as Mallorca are in good form, especially defensively, whilst Villareal are struggling to score. For these reasons, we think this match could end in a draw.
