Celta Vigo vs Mallorca preview: Visitors to concede first
Key stats
- Celta Vigo have won once in their last six matches.
- Mallorca have been conceding the opening goal in five of their last seven matches.
- Fewer than five cards were awarded in each of the last six Celta Vigo's matches.
Correct score prediction: Celta Vigo 2-2 Mallorca
Celta are seventh in the La Liga table, one point behind Espanyol, while Mallorca sit in the drop zone, at 18th with 24 points from 24 matches.
The home side are heading into this match on the back of a 2-1 win over PAOK in the first leg of their Europa League knockout round playoff clash, but they are without a win in La Liga in their last four matches, losing two of them.
Mallorca have lost three of their last four La Liga games and are heading into this fixture on the back of two defeats in a row against Real Betis and Barcelona.
Celta have drawn 10 times in the La Liga this season, and six of their last eight matches have seen over 2.5 goals. Likewise, Mallorca's last seven games have all seen over 2.5 goals, so we predict a 2-2 draw.
Pre-game odds and win probability: Both teams to score
- HOME: 4/5 (1.80) – 55.6%
- DRAW: 11/5 (3.20) – 31.3%
- AWAY: 16/5 (4.20) – 23.8%
*Odds from Ladbrokes, subject to change
Celta have picked up only six wins in La Liga this season, but they are still bookies' favourites to win the game, and are priced at 4/5 (1.80) with 55.6% chances of landing.
Mallorca have been conceding first in five of their last seven matches, and have lost the first half as a result, so Celta Vigo are expected to score the opening goal at 4/6 (1.67) odds.
Both teams have scored in six of Celta Vigo's last seven matches, and BTTS – Yes at 1/1 (2.0) is really attractive.

Celta Vigo preview: Poor home record
One reason we are not backing Celta to win at home is their terrible record this season in their own backyard.
The Sky Blues have picked up only 14 points from 12 matches and have the third-worst home record in Spain's top flight this season.
The home side will be without the services of Alvaro Nunez against Mallorca, while Hugo Sotelo is a major doubt.
Predicted lineup: Radu (GK), Alonso, Starfelt, Fernandez, Rueda, Vecino, F Lopez, Alvarez, Swedberg, Iglesias & Aspas
Last five matches
- 19/02/26: PAOK 1-2 Celta Vigo (UEFA Europa League)
- 14/02/26: Espanyol 2-2 Celta Vigo (LaLiga)
- 06/02/26: Celta Vigo 1-2 Osasuna (LaLiga)
- 01/02/26: Getafe 0-0 Celta Vigo (LaLiga)
- 29/01/26: Red Star 1-1 Celta Vigo (UEFA Europa League)
Mallorca preview: Terrible defensive record
Jagoba Arrasate's side have conceded 39 times in their 24 matches, and have the joint-second worst defensive record in the division.
Last season, they finished 10th in the league, but they are now in a relegation battle in 2025-26, and need some positive results to lift them up the table.
For Mallorca, Takuma Asano and Jan Salas are out of the match through injury, while Marash Kumbulla is a major doubt for this clash.
Predicted lineup: Roman (GK), Maffeo, Raillo, Valjent, Mojica, Luvumbo, Darder, Mascarell, Costa, Virgili & Muriqi
Last five matches
- 15/02/26: Mallorca 1-2 Real Betis (LaLiga)
- 07/02/26: Barcelona 3-0 Mallorca (LaLiga)
- 02/02/26: Mallorca 4-1 Sevilla (LaLiga)
- 25/01/26: Atletico Madrid 3-0 Mallorca (LaLiga)
- 17/01/26: Mallorca 3-2 Athletic Club (LaLiga)
Player to watch: Vedat Muriqi
Initially joined Mallorca on loan from Lazio, and the move was later made permanent; Vedat Muriqi has been their major outlet for goals, and has crossed 50 goals for the La Liga in all competitions.
The 31-year-old has been in sparkling form this season and has scored 16 goals already. The striker has scored seven goals in his last seven games, and Mallorca will look up to him to produce moments of inspiration when they face Celta Vigo away from home this Sunday.
