Mallorca
Villarreal
As part of the fifth round of the Spanish La Liga, a match will take place between Mallorca and Villarreal. The game is scheduled for Saturday, September 14, with a start time of 14:00 Central European Time. The prediction for this match is provided by Dailysports experts.
Mallorca
Mallorca kicked off their new season with a home match against Real Madrid, which surprisingly ended in a draw. This was followed by a defeat to Osasuna and another home draw with Sevilla.
The team secured their first win of the campaign in their last game, narrowly defeating newly promoted Leganés away. Notably, Mallorca has scored and conceded just two goals in their four matches.
Villarreal
Villarreal remains unbeaten and has shown entertaining and high-scoring football. The departure of Sørloth to Atlético Madrid created some challenges in attack, but the team is handling it well so far.
Villarreal’s matches are never dull, as evidenced by their goal difference after four rounds — 9:7. There hasn’t been a standout leader in terms of goalscoring, with their top scorer, Ayoze Pérez, netting just two goals.
Interesting Facts and Head-to-Head Meetings
- Mallorca has drawn their last three home matches in La Liga.
- Villarreal is unbeaten in their last eight official matches.
- In their last 10 head-to-head meetings, the results are evenly split: two draws and four wins for each team.
Mallorca vs Villarreal Prediction
The visitors seem more interesting in attack, but Mallorca often manages to achieve acceptable results at home. I think the match will be high-scoring, and I’ll bet on the total being over 2 goals.
