Villarreal – Mallorca betting tip, prediction & odds 20/01/2025

La Liga, Monday, 20/01/2025 at 9:00 PM

Welcome to this exciting neighborhood duel! In the Primera Division, the 20th matchday has reserved an exciting duel for Monday for us, in which there is hardly a favorite at first glance.

The bookmakers take a second look at this game, and they are of the opinion that the home side should be well ahead! But I will now tell you in my Villarreal Mallorca tip why I at least think the guests are capable of scoring a goal.

They are very close together in the table and yet they play so differently! When Villarreal host Mallorca on Monday evening, the main question for me is which style of play will prevail.

I’ll start my analysis with the visitors, because to be honest, I didn’t expect them to be as high up as they are. The Bermellones have scored 19 goals in 19 rounds, so even the worst mathematicians can probably work out the average.

With two wins, a 2-1 against Girona and a 1-0 against Getafe, the team went into the winter break. Not a matter of course, because before that there had been the 5-1 defeat against Barca and a 2-0 defeat against Celta Vigo.

I certainly didn’t see the scale of the defeats coming, because the previous defeats were all very close. Mallorca is a club that is known for close results. The victories? They all had exactly one goal advantage to offer.

I don’t need to explain the three draws, I’ve already listed the defeats. Four 1-0 wins, four 2-1 wins, one 3-2 win, pick one of these results if you want to bet on a win on Monday!

To do that, it would of course be an advantage if Mallorca were known for their strength away from home. The willingness to take risks? With five wins and four defeats, it’s definitely high, and draws are out of the question.

Four away games had exactly one goal, but three also had at least three. With a total of 10 goals, however, everyone can see for themselves that spectacular games are very rare.

In the first leg, Mallorca suffered a bitter 2-1 defeat against Villarreal, with the decisive goal against coming in the fourth minute of extra time! In recent years, however, there have been hardly any series, so both teams have accumulated positive results.

Very interesting: exactly one year ago, based on the date of Monday’s game, the two last met in Villarreal. The result: a 1-1, with the Bermellones scoring after regular time.

I checked the Merkur Bets app to see what odds you would get for the 1-1 result bet. 7.10 is possible, and this value is profitable in any case. A lucrative bonus is waiting for you there anyway.

Speaking of odds, in general, the betting providers calculate quite low odds for the guests. I recognize average values of a 5.25, while Villarreal receives a 1.65.

Not at all a matter of course, because the Yellow Submarine has just as many points on the account as Mallorca. 15 more goals, but also a plus of ten against goals? Villarreal likes it a bit more turbulent!

Submarino amarillo started the new year with a 0-1 defeat to Real Sociedad, which of course was not the desired result. They have only won one of their last seven matches, when they won 5:2 against Leganes.

Villarreal has only lost to teams that were in single digits at the time of the encounter this season – unfortunately, the same applies to RCD Mallorca. I certainly can’t see any home advantage.

They have only won three of nine home games, and Alaves, Las Palmas and Celta Vigo were not that strong opponents. The 3-0 win against Alaves was also the only result without conceding a goal.

Since Mallorca have already conceded at least two goals five times, you can use the risky bet “Over 1.5 goals Mallorca”. At Betano, it would get you odds of 3.85.

There is a clear leader, although the table shows an identical number of points – that’s just how it is in football sometimes! Villarreal are rated as significantly stronger than Mallorca on Monday, which I can only partially confirm.

The guests impress me with their qualities, always come back from defeats and also know how to convince away from home. Moreover, Villarreal is not an absolute bogey team in itself.

Of course, I can still imagine that the yellow submarine has the edge. But: the home side are not really strong at home, and they have only had one clean sheet so far. So I can only guess: Mallorca will score!
