Our predictions for Villarreal vs Mallorca
Match Prediction: Villarreal 2-0 Mallorca
Villarreal's recent form suggests a strong offensive capability, having secured three consecutive wins with clean sheets against Espanyol, Rayo Vallecano, and Valencia. Their ability to score multiple goals while maintaining a solid defence could pose significant challenges for Mallorca.
In contrast, Mallorca's form has been less consistent, with a mix of wins, losses, and a draw in their last five games. This inconsistency might be exploited by Villarreal's attacking prowess, particularly if Mallorca struggles to maintain their defensive structure.
However, Mallorca has shown they can be competitive, as evidenced by their victory over Sevilla and a draw against Levante. Their ability to score against strong teams like Sevilla suggests they could challenge Villarreal's defence. Yet, Villarreal's recent dominance and home advantage could be decisive factors. The game might see Villarreal controlling possession and creating more scoring opportunities, while Mallorca will need to capitalise on counter-attacks and set pieces.
Form Guide & Team Overview
Villarreal
Villarreal's recent form has been impressive, with three wins in their last five games, including a convincing 4-0 victory over Rayo Vallecano at home. Their ability to keep clean sheets in these wins demonstrates a robust defensive setup alongside their potent attack. This strong run of form could boost their confidence going into the match against Mallorca, potentially allowing them to dominate possession and create numerous scoring chances.
The only blemish in their recent record is a 1-3 loss to Real Madrid away, but their performance against top-tier teams like Real Madrid shows they can compete at a high level. This experience might help them manage the game against Mallorca effectively, maintain their momentum, and extend their winning streak.

Mallorca
Mallorca's recent results show a mixed bag, with two wins, two losses, and a draw in their last five games. Their victory over Sevilla away from home highlights their potential to upset stronger teams, but their loss to Real Betis and a draw against Levante indicate inconsistency.
This variability in performance could make it challenging for them to match Villarreal's current form. Their ability to score against Sevilla suggests they have the firepower to challenge Villarreal's defence, but their defensive lapses, as seen in the loss to Athletic Club, might be exploited by Villarreal's attacking line. Mallorca will need to be more disciplined and organised to stand a chance against a confident Villarreal side.

Villarreal (4-4-2)
Predicted lineup: Junior (GK), Navarro (DF), Marin (DF), Veiga (DF), Pedraza (DF), Buchanan (MF), Comesana (MF), Partey (MF), Moleiro (MF), Moreno (AT), Oluwaseyi (AT)
Villarreal's predicted 4-4-2 formation emphasises a balanced approach, with Partey and Comesana providing stability in midfield, allowing Moleiro and Buchanan to push forward and support the attacking duo of Moreno and Oluwaseyi. The absence of several players due to injuries may force Villarreal to rely more on the cohesion and recent form of their current lineup.

Predicted lineup: Bergstrom (GK), Maffeo (DF), Valjent (DF), Raillo (DF), Mojica (DF), Mascarell (MF), Costa (MF), Darder (MF), Joseph (MF), Virgili (MF), Muriqi (AT)
Mallorca's 4-2-3-1 setup focuses on a solid defensive structure with Raillo and Valjent at the back, while Mascarell and Costa anchor the midfield. The attacking threat will likely come from Muriqi up front, supported by the creative play of Darder and Joseph in midfield.
