Mallorca are fighting for survival, while Villarreal have already secured their place in next season’s Champions League. The two sides meet at Son Moix on Sunday in a crucial LaLiga encounter.
Villarreal, who have guaranteed a spot in the Champions League, will look to add three more points when they visit Mallorca at the Estadi Mallorca Son Moix. The home side, meanwhile, aim to distance themselves from the relegation zone.
In their last league outing, Villarreal thrashed Levante 5-1 at home, extending their unbeaten run to four matches. With 68 points from 34 games, they sit third and have already booked their ticket to Europe’s elite competition with four matches remaining.
Mallorca, in 15th place with 38 points, are just two points above the relegation zone with four games left. They also won their most recent LaLiga match, beating Girona 1-0 at Montilivi.
