Mallorca vs Celta Vigo Predictions and Betting Tips
The Estadi de Son Moix is the stage for this highly-anticipated encounter as Mallorca and Celta go head-to-head in the LaLiga Santander on Friday night.
Unbeaten in six games in this fixture, Mallorca would keen on continuing their unbeaten streak against these opponents when both sides go at each other.
Statement victory for Mallorca last weekend
From being promoted from the Segunda division at the end of last season to beating the defending champions away from home last weekend, it is safe to say that Mallorca is on the ascension under the tutelage of Luis Garcia. In said game, Real Madrid loanee Takefusa Kubo put a knife through Atletico Madrid with a late goal for his current employers- their first league win since the first week of October. Nonetheless, they head into this game unbeaten in their last three games in all competitions following their win and draw against Gimanistica and Getafe respectively.
Celta's five-game unbeaten run in all competitions came to an end last weekend in their game against Valencia. Iago Aspas initially gave his side the lead but that's where it ended for Celta as Valencia replied in both halves via Hugo Duro and Maxi Gomez. Celta is just four points above the dropzone heading into this game and having lost half of the 16 league matches they've featured in this season, more needs to be done if they're to get back to the side they were last season when they finished in 8th position.

We're expecting both sides to play open expansive football this weekend and as such, we envisage both nets bulging in this game. Celta has a slightly better side on paper but given Mallorca's statement victory last weekend, we're tempted to go for a share of the spoils.
