Villarreal vs Mallorca Prediction & Betting Tips (20 January)

Marcelino's Villarreal is going through a bad time and is dangerously close to the bottom of the standings. To the four defeats in the last five league games, conceding a minimum of three goals in each of those four defeats, is added the goodbye to the Copa del Rey against Unionistas de Salamanca. The people of Castellón, with several relevant casualties, receive a Mallorca that is in a good moment.

Javier Aguirre's men, who have the same points as Villarreal at the bottom of the table, with four points clear of the relegation zone, have only lost one of their last seven league games. And in the Cup they have just achieved a place in the quarterfinals in Tenerife with a goal in the last minute of extra time 0-1.

Over the course of their last 15 LaLiga matches, Mallorca have been involved in just a couple of contests in which both teams have found the net, so this is a pretty unusual occurrence. Not only that, but at least one of the two goalkeepers has emerged with a clean sheet from eight of the previous 12 top-flight fixtures involving Villarreal.
