Celta vs Mallorca Prediction: Celta has a very good chance of winning

Saturday's pool of the fifth round of the Spanish Football Championship will continue the match between Celta and Mallorca, in which bookmakers favor the future hosts of the field. The Islanders in the season have not yet had a single victory, while Galician, before the international break, was able to beat Almeria away and get the first three points in the season.

In four matches, Celta has two defeats from Osasuna and Real Madrid, a draw in San Sebastian against Real Sociedad, and a victory in the last round over Almeria on the road. Before the start of the fifth round, Celta was in 13th place in the standings, had four points in the asset, and was two points ahead of the team from the relegation zone with a goal difference of 4:6.

Mallorca is unbeaten in the 2023/24 season, with defeats from Villarreal 0:1 and Granada 2:3, as well as draws 1:1 with Las Palmas and 0:0 with Athletic. The Islanders have only two points before the start of the fifth round and 17th place in the Spanish La Liga standings with a goal difference of 3:5. On average, and two goals were scored per game with Mallorca.

Celta lost both starting home matches, which indicates the maximum motivation of Galician for the upcoming meeting. Mallorca did not show itself in the opening rounds, lost two matches out of 4, and never managed to win. Celta, on the contrary, before the international break, held a good away match against Almeria, which was able to win, scoring three times. If the team plays the upcoming match at the same level as against Almeria, they will surely get another victory, the second in the season. We believe that Celta have a very good chance to win on Saturday and improve their league position. As for the total, we do not expect a very effective match, and we will not be surprised if one goal will decide the winner.
