Mallorca vs Villarreal Prediction & Betting Tips (14 September)

Today, we can say it, but Mallorca is still undefeated in its lair, despite the receptions of the tenors like Real Madrid during the 1st day 1-1 and Sevilla FC in another measure 0-0. As a bonus, the Mallorcans finished the first salvo of the championship matches before the break with a success on the lawn of the promoted, and in good shape, Leganes 0-1. Let's still note the small road trip on the Osasuna pitch during the 2nd day with the smallest of scores 1-1. In the ranking, the residents of La Palma occupy the soft underbelly 10th place. Opposite, Villarreal started this new campaign as it ended the previous one, with good performances and successes or at least no defeats.

Indeed, after four days, the Yellow Submarine has not experienced defeat and today defends a record of two victories obtained on the pitch of Sevilla FC 1-2 and at home for the arrival of Celta Vigo, in an anthology poster 4-3. There are two draws, at home against a new Atlético Madrid 2-2 and the weekend before the break, against Valencia at the Mestalla 1-1. In the rankings, Marcelino's men are in the top 4, virtually qualified for the next Champions League. 

On the Mallorca side, the Japanese recruit Asano (Bochum) will be back from selection and could be spared. Same case for Vedat Muriqi (1 goal, 1 assist in 4 games) while the right back, Mafféo left prematurely due to injury against Leganes before the international break and is not certain of taking part in this meeting (uncertain ). Suffering from adductors, Llabres should withdraw in the same way as Bauza (arrived free from Dortmund). Note that during the summer window, Chiquinho (Wolverhampton, loan), Valery (Girona, loan), Robert Navarro (Real Sociedad), and Colombian international Mojica (Villarreal) signed. On the other hand, the important defenders Jaume Costa (Albacete), Giovanni Apud (Krasnodar) and Nastasic (Leganes) have left, as have the starting goalkeeper Rajkovic (Al-Ittihad) or even Baba Iddrisu (permanently sent to Almeria), Josep Gaya (Tenerife ), Nacho Vidal (end of loan), the former Marseille player Radonjic (end of loan) and Amath Ndiaye (Valladolid, transfer). It will be necessary to explain how Arnaut Danjuma, author of 2 goals in 3 matches and forming a hellish duo with Moreno in front, was sent to Girona (on loan) at the end of the transfer window. Apart from giving him the pleasure of playing in the Champions League and increasing the strike force of a competitor in the race for the Champions, we don't see the point.

In addition, a boy like Sörloth (23 goals, 6 assists at the club last year) was transferred to Atlético Madrid, another direct competitor for the Champions spots. To stay at the start, Ben Diaz, unconvincing last year, signed for Southampton, Trigueros went to Granada (free), the Frenchman Haissem flew to Oviedo, Jorge Cuenca signed for London (Fulham), the talented Altimira landed at Leganes (loan) while Aissa Mandi went to Lille (free), Jorgensen (Chelsea), Mojica (Mallorca), goalkeeper Reina and Alberto Moreno to Calcio Como (SA). To discuss recruitment, Ayoze Perez (Bétis), Juan Bernat (PSG, loan), Eyong (Cadiz), Logan Costa (Toulouse), the French Thierno Barry (FC Basel) and Willy Kambwala (Man United), the disappointing Nicolas Pepe (Trabzonspor), Sergi Cardona (Las Palmas), Arnau Sola (Almeria, loan), and even Pape Gueye (OM, free) have signed. Note that the full-backs eligible for a starting place like Foyth and Pedraza are still injured in the same way as Denis Suarez (midfield, rotation). Pape Gueye will serve his red card received during the previous day, while Alex Baena (12 cakes last year), Pepe, Gerard Moreno and Bailly will have taken advantage of the break to restore their health (absent against Valencia and uncertain Today).
