The Matchday 30 clash in La Liga between Mallorca and Celta will take place on April 5 at the Son Moix Stadium. Mallorca vs. Celta: prediction and betting odds, statistics.
Mallorca
Jagoba Arrasate's side has slipped to ninth place in the table, falling behind Celta and Rayo Vallecano (all three have 40 points). This occurred after the islanders suffered a 0-1 away defeat to Valencia. However, before that, the club was unbeaten in six consecutive league matches (2 wins and 4 draws). The gap to the European competition zone is still not critical – 7 points.
- Both teams scored in 6 of Mallorca's last 7 La Liga games.
- At least two goals were scored in 7 of the last 8 matches of the islanders in the league.
- The club has conceded in each of the last nine home matches in La Liga.
Predicted lineup for Mallorca (4-4-2)
Dominik Greif – Martin Valjent, Antonio Raillo, Pablo Maffeo, Joan Mojica – Manu Morlanes, Daniel Rodriguez, Sergi Darder, Samu Costa – Takuma Asano, Vedat Muriqi.
Midfielder Samu Costa and defender Antonio Raillo are out due to an accumulation of yellow cards.
Celta
The Galicians have not lost in La Liga for seven matches, securing four wins and three draws. In the last round, the team failed to beat Las Palmas at home (1-1), ending a brief two-match winning streak in the league. Celta is ahead of Mallorca on additional criteria and has scored 14 more goals, but their defense is weaker, having conceded 7 more goals than the islanders.
- Both teams scored in 9 of Claudio Giráldez's last 11 La Liga games.
- At least two goals were scored in 10 of Celta's last 12 La Liga matches.
- The club has conceded in 20 of the last 22 away league matches.
Predicted lineup for Celta (4-3-3)
Vicente Guaita – Carl Starfelt, Marcos Alonso, Mihailo Ristic, Sergio Carreira – Iker Losada, Javi Rodriguez, Ilaix Moriba – Alfonso Gonzalez, Damian Rodriguez, Borja Iglesias.

Mallorca vs. Celta: Match Prediction
In the encounter between table neighbors and contenders for a European finish, I give a slight preference to the hosts. Both teams are in good form, lose rarely, and are aiming for three points in this clash. However, Mallorca, if they lose at home, it is only to higher-ranked opponents. In this La Liga season, only Atletico, Barcelona, Villarreal, and Betis have won at Son Moix.
Meanwhile, the Galicians have won only one of their last ten away league matches. Moreover, that victory came against the worst team in La Liga – Valladolid. Also, Mallorca has not lost to Celta in their last five home league meetings (3 wins and 2 draws). From the upcoming match, expect at least two goals. Such a number of goals were scored in Mallorca's last four home league matches and in 5 of Celta's last 6 away La Liga games.
My prediction – 1X and Total over 1.5 goals
* The starting lineup for each team is based on their last match in this tournament.
