Celta Vigo vs Mallorca Prediction

Celta Vigo Form

Celta Vigo delivered a bit of everything as their last three matches added four points to their tally. An encounter with Real Sociedad brought a 1-1 draw, which was followed by a 0-1 defeat at the hands of Real Madrid. Their most recent game had them back on the winning trail, as they beat Almeria by 2-3. Celta Vigo claimed a modest two wins in their past six home matches in the La Liga. They also drew one and lost three, scored five goals and conceded seven.

Celta Vigo go into the season with the clear aim of a top half finish, perhaps even contesting for a place in an international competition.

Mallorca Form

A single point prevents Mallorca from having nothing to show for their previous three games. They came up short, losing by 0-1 and 3-2 against Villarreal and Granada, respectively. Their latest match brought some consolation, as they were able to hang on for a 0-0 draw against Athletic Bilbao. Mallorca came through their last six away games in the La Liga without a single win. Of those six matches, they drew one and lost five in which, they were outscored by 15 goals to five.

Mallorca naturally hope for a a top half position come reckoning day next spring, but experts foresee a tough battle ahead in the lower regions of the La Liga.

Both Celta Vigo and Mallorca are having a hard time finding their way to the net. With the teams clashing in this round 5, we find a low scoring match is the natural pick.
