Mallorca take on the visitors Celta Vigo in the round 18 match of Spanish LaLiga. The match will be played on Friday, January 20th at Visit Mallorca Estadi (Palma de Mallorca).
Mallorca are memorable, first of all, for its successes at the turn of the century, when, under Hector Cooper as a coach, they took high places in Primera, played in the European arena and took the cup. Now another Latin American specialist, Javier Aguirre, is working with the Bermelons. The Mexican, for all his experience, has a controversial reputation. But, having arrived on the popular island to save a newcomer-outsider from relegation already in the midst of the last temporade, he did it – even if he beat the relegated Granada by only 1 point. The main thing is that in the new, already full-fledged season, this mentor was able to make further progress. His wards can now be considered a strong middle peasant. They have won 6 matches out of 17 - more than a third. With 22 points, Murika (Vedat scored 8 goals already) and the company are in the top half of the standings. Even after losing 0-1 on the Osasuna field in the last round, they managed to stay in 10th place.

Celta Vigo are also remembered for how it not only played in European competitions, but also reached the semi-finals of the Europa League. Moreover, before the defeat to Manchester United there, the Spaniards knocked out solid clubs in the playoffs. But in recent years, the fate of the club from Vigo in the struggle for survival in the LaLiga. Twice in previous draws under Eduardo Coudet it was possible to score enough points not to fall into the Segunda. It is curious that he was forgiven for the anti-record segment in the last tempo. But when there were several unsuccessful games in a row this autumn, they said goodbye to the Argentinean - but initially it didn’t get better, under Carlos Carvalhal the autumn segment ended very badly. That's just the Portuguese break was able to use with good success. If the fight in the Cup is still over, with a defeat from Espanyol, then in the Example it turned out not to lose four times in a row, taking into account the November 0-0 with Rayo Vallecano. At home after the break, they were 1-1 with Sevilla and Villarreal, and on the road they even managed to get 1-0 on the Elche field.
Mallorca had a nice streak in head-to-heads with 1 defeat in 10 matches, including 7 matches in a row without defeat to Celta. But last March, in a shootout in Vigo, Celta won 4-3. It is unlikely that the new fight will be as spectacular as in March last year. Rather, the first goal will be decisive. So you should use for your bet the option with “total under 2.0 goals scored”.
Prediction for the match: Under 2.0 scored goals.
