Villarreal - Mallorca predictions

If you’re looking for a relatively safe result bet, a home win at odds of 1.77 is a solid option. That said, Mallorca may yet be able to pull off a surprise, maybe even in the form of a stalemate.

Mallorca stand next to no chance at beating the hosts in this match. For instance, most bookies online offer odds of 5.00 for an away win, indicating a very small chance of success.

Villarreal’s previous La Liga clash came down to a single goal making the difference. The Yellow Submarine held well for the first 45 minutes but did not have enough gas in their tank to push through the entire match. In the end, a narrow Real Sociedad home defeat is what they will be looking to bounce back from this Monday.

Mallorca also played an away game last week and managed to snag a surprising 0:1 victory. Top online bookmakers saw this outcome as very unlikely, pricing it at 3.99. Despite all the disadvantages, though, the score remained inconclusive for most of the game, after which Mallorca took an unexpected lead.

The Yellow Submarine have managed to bag 6 goals in the last three showdowns, and the supporters at Estadio de la Cerámica are expecting a lot of action this time around.

Mallorca may need more consistency in their defense if they want to get anywhere. They have more than 5 conceded goals over their 3 most recent home games, for instance.

The hosts are just 6 points behind the best-placed teams in the league, so they’ll be going into this match highly motivated to secure a win. We’re getting into the second half of the season now, so not even favourable matchups such as this one can’t be taken lightly.

Although they’re fighting against the odds in this game, Mallorca will have plenty of reasons to give their best. Not only are they defending a Europa Lague qualification – but they’re also fighting to move up to the Champions League. The opportunity will be more distant with each passing round as we move past the season’s midpoint.

It will be interesting to see if Mallorca manage to beat this odds in this, the second clash with Villarreal this season. The first time around they lost with to a 1-point difference.

With no injuries or suspensions to deal with, both teams will be able to give their all this Monday.

An Under 2.5 Goals bet is an easy tip to offer – it’s a fairly probable outcome with betting odds priced at a comfortable 1.80. More importantly, though, the betting value it offers is surprisingly solid.
