Villarreal vs Mallorca Prediction and Betting Tips

The 2022-23 edition of La Liga returns to the fold with another round of matches this weekend as Villarreal lock horns with Mallorca in an important clash at the Estadio Ciudad de Valencia on Sunday.

Villarreal vs Mallorca Preview

Mallorca are currently in 14th place in the La Liga standings and have been fairly impressive so far this season. The away side held Espanyol to a 1-1 draw last week and will look to take it up a notch in this fixture.

Villarreal, on the other hand, are in eighth place in the league table at the moment and have been inconsistent this year. The Yellow Submarine slumped to a 1-0 defeat against Athletic Bilbao in their previous league game and will need to bounce back this weekend.

During his time here, he has had the privilege of covering a press meeting during the collaboration between his favorite club Bengaluru FC and Sevilla, where he got a chance to interact with Sevilla president Jose Castro and explore the grassroots development in his city.

Aditya started following the sport after being dazzled by Ronaldinho’s silky feet at the 2006 FIFA World Cup. He is a Barcelona fan and unsurprisingly, his favorite manager and players are Pep Guardiola and Andres Iniesta respectively. He admires the latter for his superhuman talent and his off-pitch demeanor, and his winning goal in Spain’s 2010 World Cup final win over the Netherlands left a lasting impact on Aditya.

The match-preview specialist believes that his ongoing five-year stint at Sportskeeda has given him the ability to identify the distinct line between emotional and fact-based articles, which separates him from other journalists. For him, fact-checking is the most integral part of his writing process and he only relies on authentic platforms for data.
