The Celts will be looking to improve their position in the table in front of their home fans, while Mallorca will be trying to take points away from home. Will the hosts be able to take advantage of their home field advantage, or will the visitors continue to fight for a place at the top of the table? Our experts have prepared the best bets and a detailed analysis of the upcoming confrontation
Command Analysis
Celta Vigo
SpainCurrent form
Celta are stuck in mid-table, halfway between the top six and the relegation zone. The Vigo side have had a difficult season so far and the upcoming game against European hopefuls Mallorca will be a great opportunity for the Celts to show their competitiveness. However, their record leaves much to be desired, with just one win in their last six La Liga games.
However, the performances at the home stadium Balaídos look more confident: here Claudio Giraldes' team shows decent results, losing only to clubs from the TOP-3. An important factor remains that Celta has not yet won against opponents who are higher than them in the table, which makes the upcoming meeting a kind of challenge.
Disqualifications and injuries
Jailson will be out with a hip injury.
Interesting trends for betting
- Iago Aspas has been involved in goals in five of his eight matches against Mallorca, but has only celebrated victory once.
- Celta have won four of their last six La Liga games at Balaidos.
A strong performance at home and active support from the stands could be decisive factors in this match.
Probable lineup: Villar - Manquillo, Mingueza, Sverberg, Dominguez - Moriba, Beltran, Jailson, Rodriguez - Aspas, Iglesias
Mallorca
SpainCurrent form
Mallorca go into the match hoping to strengthen their position in the fight for a European place. They have been consistent in recent La Liga fixtures, losing just once in their last five games. However, their away form has been mixed, with just two wins away from home this season, casting doubt on their ability to pick up points in tough away games.
However, Javier Aguirre men are able to play organised defensively, which makes them a serious opponent even for clubs with a stronger selection of players. https://www.rcdmallorca.es target=_blank rel=noopener>The team is able to take advantage of the opponent mistakes, especially if they get space to counter-attack, thanks to which their attack remains dangerous even in away games.
Disqualifications and injuries
Kopata (ankle injury) and Lato (muscle injury) will not be able to play.
Interesting trends for betting
- Mallorca last five La Liga games have seen fewer than 2.5 goals scored, highlighting the team defensive style.
- Mallorca have lost just one of their last four away games against bottom-half teams.
- Striker Vedat Muriqi has scored three goals in his last four games, remaining a key figure in the team attack.
Remarkably, his only goal in his last six at club level has not been a header
Probable lineup: Rajkovic - Mafeo, Valient, Rayjo, Copete, Gonzalez - Rodriguez, Sanchez, Antonio Sanchez - Muriqui, Larin

1.27Tip and bets
Today match promises to be tense, as both teams prefer a cautious style of play, especially in the decisive moments of the season. Mallorca traditionally has a reliable defense, which plays with maximum discipline on the road, and Celta continues to struggle with problems in attack, rarely scoring more than one goal per game. It is also important to consider that both teams have been showing low efficiency lately, and the tension in the center of the field can become a key factor. We believe that today match will be dictated by the defensive lines, and the coaches will try to minimize the risks. It is unlikely that the game will be full of goals, so a bet on a low total looks justified.
Our forecast is total under 2.5 goals and we bet on it with odds of 1.87
Bet on the outcome
Today match promises to be tense, and the visitors have a real chance to take a positive result from Vigo. Mallorca demonstrates excellent defensive play, which allows them to successfully cope with pressure in away matches. In addition, the hosts have difficulty converting their chances, which makes their chances of winning less likely. We believe that the experience and tactical discipline of the visitors will allow them to at least avoid defeat.
Forecast - Asian handicap (0) for Mallorca and we bet on it with odds of 3.30
Bet on corners
Given the cautious style of both teams, it is unlikely that the match will be a super-dynamic one. However, the battle in the center of the field and the rare attacks on the flanks can lead to set pieces. At the same time, Mallorca often earns corners thanks to an organized attack, and Celta is prone to defensive errors that can lead to similar episodes.
Forecast - total corners over 8.5. This option can be found for 1.70
