Mallorca keen to extend 4-game unbeaten home run as Villarreal clash looms.
As RCD Mallorca seek to build momentum with a second consecutive victory at home, Villarreal aim to extend their unbeaten run to nine games in a fascinating clash at Estadi Mallorca Son Moix.
Mallorca
Mallorca secured their first win of the 2024-2025 campaign with a 1-0 victory over Leganés just before the international break. A Dani Rodríguez header in the 43rd minute was enough to earn Jagoba Arrasate his first competitive win in charge since his appointment in June 2024.
Following the win, Los Piratas moved up to 10th place, tied on points with Leganés, who sit in 9th due to a higher goal tally. Arrasate’s men are set to welcome Villarreal this weekend, hoping to continue their momentum and aim for consecutive league victories.
Recent head-to-head encounters favor Mallorca, who have won four of the last nine matches between the two teams, just one fewer than in their previous 25 top-flight meetings. They're unbeaten in their last four home league games, boasting a record of 1 win and 3 draws.
However, there are concerns about Mallorca's attacking prowess, as they have failed to score in two of their four league matches this season. Expect a 4-3-3 formation against Villarreal, with Takuma Asano, Vedat Muriqi, and Marc Domènech likely leading the attack.
Villarreal
Meanwhile, Villareal are coming off a hard-fought 1-1 draw against Valencia. Ayoze Perez brought the Yellow Submarine back on level terms right before halftime, after conceding to a Hugo Duro strike. Despite going down to ten men after Pape Gueye’s red card in the 66th minute, Marcelino’s men held on for the draw, extending their unbeaten streak in La Liga to eight games.
‘It was an avoidable action,’ Marcelino said after the game regarding Gueye’s dismissal. ‘Luckily, we were able to keep the result the same,’ he added. Currently in fourth place, tied on points with third-placed Atlético Madrid, who boast a superior goal difference, Villareal will now make the trip to Mallorca, hoping to return as happy travellers.
However, the Yellow Submarine have won just one of their last seven league games against the hosts, securing a 1-0 win on their last visit in August 2023. Marcelino is expected to keep the familiar 4—4—2 formation, with Thierno Barry and Ayoze Pérez, who scored against Valencia, in attack. Meanwhile, Gueye is unavailable, following his red card last time out.
