Mallorca – Villarreal Predictions and Preview
- In the first four games, Mallorca played solidly, winning one game, drawing two, and losing one. They are now back in La Liga, looking to build on their back-to-back clean sheets and their first win of the season before the international break.
- However, maintaining this form is not guaranteed. Boss Jagoba Arrasate is heading into this contest with a winless record in his last four personal head-to-head (H2H) encounters with Villarreal, having drawn once and lost three times.
- There is hope for a reversal of fortunes for Mallorca, as they remain unbeaten at home at this early stage, having drawn two games. Sevilla and Real Madrid had to settle for a point each when visiting the Balearic Island.
- Goals could be hard to come by, regardless of the outcome. Only one of Mallorca’s last eight home league games produced at least three goals in total, and all of their wins during that run ended with a 1-0 scoreline.
- In contrast, there have been goals aplenty across Villarreal’s opening rounds of the season. They remain unbeaten despite conceding seven times across their four league games so far. Coach Marcelino may expect further progress against Mallorca, as his team has kept four clean sheets across his last six personal H2Hs.
- Such defensive solidity is something of a rarity for Villarreal, who have kept just one clean sheet across their last 21 competitive road trips. Consequently, falling behind is a real possibility. However, Villarreal’s solid record when conceding the opener in away league action since the start of last season means they cannot be completely discounted from getting something from the match.
- Players to watch: Veteran midfielder Dani Rodríguez has contributed to two of Mallorca’s three league goals this term. He may hope for more, given his healthy return across seven H2Hs against Villarreal. Ayoze Pérez leads the way for the visitors with a pair of strikes so far and could prove key again, as four of his last six club goals have been decisive in victories.
- Hot stat: Villarreal have found the net in 19 of their last 21 away league games.
