Match Analysis

Mallorca's recent form has been a mixed bag. They recorded a narrow 2-1 home victory against Espanol, a 1-1 draw away at Ath Bilbao, and a 0-1 loss at Valencia. Averaging 1.4 goals per game in their last five matches, their offensive output has been moderate, though their defense has held relatively firm, conceding an average of just 1.0 goal per game. Despite this, they have not managed a clean sheet in these encounters, suggesting vulnerabilities in their defense. Celta, on the other hand, has shown resilience and efficacy, winning 1-0 against Valladolid away and 2-1 at home against Leganes, alongside a 1-1 draw at home against Las Palmas. With an average of 1.2 goals scored and conceded in their last five matches, Celta's performances have been consistent, highlighted by their ability to secure two clean sheets. Their expected goals metrics also reflect a balanced approach, with a slight edge in defensive solidity over Mallorca.

Final Prediction

Celta's edge in this matchup can be attributed to their recent solid defensive displays and ability to eke out victories. Despite Mallorca's ability to find the back of the net, Celta's defensive discipline and recent form suggest they are likely to seize the three points. A key factor to watch will be Celta's ability to maintain their defensive structure, which could be decisive in securing them the win.
