Mallorca will welcome Celta Vigo to Estadi Mallorca Son Moix in La Liga on Saturday. Both teams lost their campaign openers last week and will look to bounce back here.
The hosts met league leaders Barcelona and suffered a 3-0 defeat. They conceded twice early in the first half, and to add to their misery, Manu Morlanes and Vedat Muriqi were sent off in quick succession before the break. Lamine Yamal added the third goal for the defending champions in stoppage time.
The visitors got their campaign underway with a 2-0 home loss to Getafe. After a goalless first half, Getafe scored twice after the break. It was their second consecutive home loss in the league.

Mallorca vs Celta Vigo Prediction
Los Piratas had two players sent off in the first half in their campaign opener last week, and they could not offer much threat in the attack after that. They have failed to score in five of their last eight league games and have scored one goal apiece in two.
On-loan defender Marash Kumbulla is in contention to make his debut here. Manu Morlanes and Vedat Muriqi will serve suspensions, while Samu Costa is doubtful due to a knock.
Los Celestes failed to score in their campaign opener but will look to bounce back in this away game. They have scored at least two goals in four of their last five La Liga away games. They are unbeaten in their last three meetings against the hosts, conceding just twice.
Carl Starfelt is a confirmed absentee with a thigh injury for the visitors. Borja Iglesias was on the bench last week and might get the nod to start here.
Vigo secured a league double last season, and considering the hosts' recent record in the league, we back Los Celestes to eke out a narrow win.
Prediction: Mallorca 1-2 Celta Vigo
