Villarreal's Attack vs. Mallorca's Defense
Villarreal comes into this one having won four of their last five league matches, including a convincing 3-0 victory over Getafe last weekend. Mallorca, on the other hand, has struggled for consistent form, losing three of their last four. The key matchup will be Villarreal's potent attack, led by Gerard Moreno who has 16 goals this season, against a Mallorca defense that has conceded 40 goals on the road.
Thing is, Villarreal has the momentum. Their home record is a staggering 12-3-4, and they've scored multiple goals in their last three home games. Mallorca's defense, while stubborn at times, hasn't shown the ability to shut down strong offensive sides consistently away from home.
I'm calling for a comfortable Villarreal win. Villarreal 2, Mallorca 0.
