Mallorca vs Villarreal – Following a 2-0 La Liga defeat to Sevilla in their previous match, Mallorca won’t want a recurrence of that performance here.
Mallorca had a 35% possession advantage and 6 shots on goal, but none of them found the back of the net. Six of Sevilla’s 15 shots on goal were on target. For Sevilla, goals were scored by Bryan Gil (28′) and Youssef En-Nesyri (40′).
Mallorca’s recent offensive performance has been lacking. Over the course of their previous 6 games, they had only scored 2 goals against other teams.
Additionally, Mallorca has had six goals scored against them in those contests. Whether or not that tendency continues into this upcoming game will be a fascinating thing to watch.
Mallorca has won all five of their home league games entering this matchup. Villarreal and its visiting supporters will be hoping for a better outcome after losing to Barcelona in their most recent La Liga match.
Villarreal had a 53% possession rate and 2 goals on 11 shot attempts in that game. Barcelona made 6 goal attempts, four of which were successful. Barcelona’s goal came from Pedri after 18 seconds.
The statistics speak for themselves; Villarreal has allowed 9 goals in their previous 6 games after being scored against in 5 of those contests. Villarreal appear to have a little give in the back.
Villarreal has not defeated Mallorca in a game played away from home for the previous five league games, according to their prior results. They haven’t been traveling well at all and have lost both of their last two league games when playing away from home.
