Villarreal vs Mallorca


Match preview

Villarreal have won eight, drawn six and lost five of their 19 La Liga games this term, picking up 30 points to sit fifth in the table, six points behind fourth-placed Athletic Bilbao.


Marcelino's side are out of the Copa del Rey and have no European football to play for this season, so their sole focus is on the league, which could give them an advantage over Athletic in the race for fourth place.


The Yellow Submarine ended 2024 with a 5-2 win over Leganes, but last time out they were beaten 1-0 by Real Sociedad, their fifth defeat in the Spanish top flight in 2024-25.


Villarreal have been excellent to watch this season, scoring 34 goals and conceding 31, with their defensive record actually the third worst in the league, which is remarkable given their position in the table.
