Team Overview and Form
Mallorca ("Bermellones")
Mallorca struggled last season, finishing 15th in La Liga. Their form in the spring was influenced by their Copa del Rey run, where they reached the final but lost in a penalty shootout to Athletic Bilbao. Under new manager Jagoba Arrasate, Mallorca has shown signs of improvement, earning draws against Real Madrid and Sevilla and securing their first win of the season away against Leganés.
Villarreal ("Yellow Submarine")
Villarreal also experienced a dip last season, dropping to 8th place after a 5th-place finish the year before. Now under Marcelino's guidance, they’ve started the season well, drawing with Atlético Madrid and Valencia, and defeating Sevilla and Celta Vigo. Despite their positive form, they have been vulnerable at the back, conceding in all six matches so far.
Head-to-Head Matches
Last season, Villarreal defeated Mallorca, but previously they lost two consecutive games to Mallorca with a 1-0 and 1-1 scoreline.
Tactical Analysis and Prediction
Mallorca will look to build on their recent victory, but Villarreal’s strong form under Marcelino makes them a tough opponent. Mallorca has been solid defensively, but Villarreal's attacking threat, combined with their unbeaten streak, makes them favorites to remain undefeated.
Betting Prediction
We predict that Villarreal will maintain their unbeaten start to the season in this match.
Prediction: Villarreal to remain unbeaten (odds – 1.6).
