📏 Form Guide

Mallorca WLLDLL

Mallorca will be hoping for a better result following the 3-1 La Liga losing effort in their last game against Athletic Bilbao. In that match, Mallorca had 53% possession and 14 shots at goal with 2 on target. The scorer for Mallorca was Ante Budimir (69'). Athletic Bilbao got 12 attempts on goal with 6 on target. Raúl García (16'), Oihan Sancet (24') and Villalibre (90') scored for Athletic Bilbao.

It’s been all too rare in recent games where Mallorca have shown defensive steel. The facts show that Los Bermellones have seen their defence breached in 6 of their previous 6 games, letting in 12 goals on the way. It will be interesting to find out whether or not that trend will be continued on into this next match.

Analysis of their past results shows that Mallorca:

• haven't been beaten in the league by Celta de Vigo in their last 5 matches.
• haven’t won at home in the past 3 league games.

Celta Vigo DLDWWD

In their last game, Celta Vigo drew 2-2 in the La Liga match with Barcelona. In that match, Celta Vigo managed 32% possession and 10 attempts at goal with 6 on target. For Celta Vigo, the scorers were Fyodor Smolov (50') and Iago Aspas (88'). For their opponents, FC Barcelona had 18 shots on goal with 2 on target. Luis Suárez (20', 67') scored for Barcelona.

A run of hard-working showings from the Celta Vigo defensive unit has resulted in the number of goals they’ve conceded amounting to 3 from their past 6 outings overall. In that period of time, their own attack force has managed to score 9. That being said, it remains to be seen if such a trend will continue on in this match.

Their prior results show that Celta Vigo:

• have left without a victory over RCD Mallorca when they have played them away from home in the previous 3 league matches.
• are unbeaten in their previous 5 away league matches.

📰 Team News: Mallorca

Abdul Rahman Baba (Knee Injury) and Leonardo Koutris (Cruciate Ligament Rupture) won’t be available for Mallorca gaffer Vicente Moreno.

It seems likely that Los Bermellones will probably make use of the 4-4-2 formation, utilising Manolo Reina, Fran Gámez, Antonio Raíllo, Martin Valjent, Alejandro Pozo, Takefusa Kubo, Iddrisu Baba, Salva Sevilla, Dani Rodriguez, Cucho and Ante Budimir.

📰 Team News: Celta Vigo

With a fully injury-free squad available to select from, Celta Vigo manager Óscar García has no fitness worries at all coming into this match.

From our viewpoint, Os Celestes might make use of a 3-5-2 formation, choosing Ruben Blanco, Joseph Aidoo, Nestor Araujo, Jorge Sáenz, Kevin Vazquez, Okay Yokuslu, Rafinha, Filip Bradaric, Denis Suarez, Iago Aspas and Fedor Smolov.

💭 Prediction

We think that Mallorca will have to work hard as a team to break down this Celta Vigo team who should win and very possibly keep a clean sheet. We therefore think that it’s going to be a very even contest with a 0-1 winning margin for Celta Vigo after 90 minutes. Little in this one.
