Mallorca hosts Villarreal in round 5 of Spanish LaLiga. The match will be played on Sunday, September 19th at Visit Mallorca Estadi (Palma de Mallorca)
Mallorca is clearly determined to stay in LaLiga for more than a year. The Pirates have already played in Primera in the season before last, but then their strength was not enough to stay here. Now a new attempt is being made, and at least the start can be added to the asset of the newcomer to the division. At first, Mallorca was lucky: a draw in the first round was gained due to an own goal from Reina. But then the club managed to win twice in a row. Luis Garcia's charges beat Alaves away (0-1) and then did the same with the same newcomer Espanyol at home. But after a pause for the matches of the national teams, the Pirates suffered a 2-0 defeat from Athletic Bilbao. The starting courage has evaporated, or was the opponent just too strong?

In the previous season, Villarreal won the first trophy in its history, and what a trophy! Perhaps, and even certainly, the club's management was expecting a bigger breakthrough in LaLiga, inviting Unai Emery. In fact, the Yellow Submarine stalled in the same place and even slowed down. But it made up for all failures, having won the Europa League. On the one hand, that victory gave a ticket to the Champions League, and on Tuesday the Spaniards hosted Atalanta. But on the other hand, the calendar is getting more complicated. After the European Super Cup (where Villarreal looked worthy but lost to Chelsea), the team didn’t manage to gain a single victory in LaLiga, having tied against Granada, Espanyol, and Atlético Madrid. It is difficult to say exactly what shape Villarreal is in now, as the home match against Alaves was not played last Saturday.
Villarreal has a noticeable advantage in this pair. But recently, the Pirates have also started baring their teeth at home, winning three out of four matches. Including the last one: 3-1 in November 2019. Now Villarreal needs to step up and why not start doing it in the match against a newcomer? We bet on the visitors’ victory with a zero handicap.
Prediction for the match: Villarreal to win with 0.0 handicap
