Key Factors to Consider
- Mallorca's recent form includes a loss to Barcelona (0-3) and wins against Hamburger SV and Shabab Al-Ahli Dubai FC, showcasing some attacking capability but defensive weaknesses. Celta Vigo have won their last two encounters against Mallorca and have a recent positive record, with key players like Oscar Mingueza creating important chances.
- Historically, Mallorca leads with 5 wins versus Celta Vigo’s 3 wins, with 4 draws, but Celta Vigo won the last two matches against Mallorca, suggesting recent dominance.
- Mallorca faces significant absences with suspended players Manu Morlanes and Vedat Muriqi, plus long-term injuries to Iván Cuéllar and Samu, affecting their defensive and offensive stability. Celta Vigo’s injury status is not noted as having major impacts.
- The game is at Mallorca’s home ground, Estadi de Son Moix, possibly favoring the home side. Weather and other external conditions are not specified but generally should neither heavily favor nor disadvantage either side.
- Both teams are motivated to secure early points given their low league positions and need to avoid a poor start to the season. Mallorca especially will be eager to leverage home advantage to break their poor form.
