RCD Mallorca vs. Villarreal 9/19/21 LaLiga Soccer Pick, Odds, and Prediction

RCD Mallorca is hosting Villarreal at Estadi de Son Moix in round 5 of the Spanish LaLiga. Mallorca has started this season really well, and they have lost only 1 of their first 4 games. Villarreal is still struggling, and they haven’t won any of their last 11 games.

Mallorca hasn’t scored a lot of goals, only 3, but they also haven’t conceded a lot, and because of that they have only 1 loss so far. Mallorca is now in 9^th place with 7 points. Nino, Rodriguez, and Olivian have each scored 1 goal for Villarreal so far this season. in their last game against Bilbao on the road, Mallorca was solid, they have had 52% of ball possession, 1 shot on goal, 2 corner kicks, 0 big chances created, and 76% of the correct passes. This was a tough game for both teams, especially in the first half, but Bilbao has scored 2 goals in the second half, and Mallorca has lost this match 2-0. There are a few injured players in Mallorca, and some of them are very important for this team. Even though the season started well for Mallorca, I don’t think they can stay consistent for long this season.

Villarreal is capable of playing some of the best soccer in Spain, but they are having a hard time finding their game and form this season. It’s been a while since Villarreal has won their last game, but they have come close a few times. In LaLiga, Villarreal has scored only 2 goals, but they have also conceded only 2 goals, and they are now in 15^th place with 3 points. Villarreal was hosting Atalanta in the Champions League earlier this week, and it was a great game, Villarreal has had 48% of ball possession, 7 shots on goal, 7 corner kicks, 4 big chances created, and 78% of the correct passes. The first half ended in a 1-1 draw, and while Villarreal got ahead in the 73^rd minute, they conceded another goal in the 83^rd minute. The final score of this match was 2-2. We know Villarreal is a good team, they have won the Europa League last season, and they are pretty much the same team they were back then, which means their problem is psychological, and they need to fix it fast.

Mallorca hasn’t lost in their last 4 home games against Villarreal, and because Villarreal is struggling, I think Mallorca will keep it that way. Yes, Villarreal will try to get their first win this season, but Mallorca is in good form, and I think they can keep them at bay.
