With their 13 point advantage in the league table, Villarreal fans are hoping to see their team collect maximum points from this game against Mallorca.

Villarreal and Mallorca should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.

Mallorca have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 800 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

Villarreal form and stats

Villarreal have collected 22 points from their La Liga home games so far after 6-4-3. Villarreal has three losses from their three previous games and the tension is increasing in the dressing room for both the manager J. Calleja Revilla and the players.

The Villarreal fans got no joy from their last match, a La Liga game also here at Estadio de la Cerámica: A 1-2 defeat against Leganés (placed 19th). A defeat was the result before that one, 0-1 away at Athletic Club.

Villarreal can score goals in their home matches. After 13 league matches they have found the net 26 times. On the other hand, Villarreal have conceded 17 goals.

Mallorca form and stats

There's been little loot from Mallorca's travels as they have only collected 5 points from 13 away games in the La Liga. Mallorca, who have the most conceded goals (30) away in La Liga, only have 1 win to counter their 10 defeats and 2 draws.

It's the second away game in a row for Mallorca, but there's smiles all around after the 2-1 victory versus Eibar (placed 16th) in the La Liga last time out. Preceding that, the 0-1 home loss versus Getafe.

The attacking power of Mallorca when travelling is not overwhelming with 12 goals scored from 13 league matches away. The Mallorca manager V. Moreno Peris has some worries about the defense as 30 goals have been conceded in these travels.

Head 2 Head

Mallorca - Villarreal 3-1 was the story when these teams last met, earlier this season. Last ten meetings between the teams: Villarreal won four, Mallorca won three and three draws. four games with over 2,5 goals, six matches with two goals or less.
