Mallorca, Recent FormFailing to acquire any points in their 2-0 away defeat by Sevilla will have left the Mallorca squad feeling a little deflated. They came away from that fixture with 35% of the possession and clocked up 6 attempts on goal with 0 on target. By comparison, Sevilla managed 15 attempts on goal, with 6 on target.
Having conceded 5 goals and scored just 3 in their last 6 games, they have been very fortunate to pick up 9 points. They have recently found some good scoring form at home, hitting the net in 5 of their last 6 matches at Visit Mallorca Estadi. When playing at home this season, Mallorca has notched up a tally of 5 clean sheets, highlighting the struggle some of their opponents have had to break through on goal.
Being unbeaten in 5 of their last 6 league matches at Visit Mallorca Estadi, suggests a consistent run of home form, especially when we consider that 4 of these results were wins.
Villarreal, Recent FormThe 1-0 home defeat to Barcelona will not have sat easily with the Villarreal squad, who would not have been pleased to squander all three points. In that game they recorded 53 % of the possession, with 11 attempts on goal, 2 on target. Their opponents found the target on 4 of their 6 shots on goal.
It seems pretty certain that Quique Setién will be quite pleased with his squad's ability to score goals in recent matches, having managed 5 goals in their past 6 outings. In contrast, however, he will be concerned that their defensive qualities look a little more fragile, with 7 goals conceded in those matches and some crucial points dropped. They will need to tighten up at the back, having failed to keep a clean sheet in all but 1 of their last 6 away games. After failing to get on the scoresheet in 6 away games out of 11 this season, Setién will be looking for a bit more consistency from his forwards.
They've had a bad run of form away from home recently, having lost 4 of their last 6 on the road and managing just 1 win.
Away from home in the league, Gerard Moreno has given the Villarreal travelling fans plenty to get excited about, with 3 goals from their last 6 games on the road.
The last league encounter between these two sides concluded with a 0-2 win for Mallorca.
In the league, Mallorca has had a good run at home against Villarreal, being unbeaten in their last 5 meetings at Visit Mallorca Estadi.
With no real injury worries, Mallorca manager Javier Aguirre will be happy to have his full squad available for selection.
Quique Setién has a number of injury concerns in his Villarreal squad to contend with: Nicolas Jackson (Physical discomfort), Giovani Lo Celso (Hamstring) and Alfonso Pedraza (Hamstring)
