In the 30th round of Spanish La Liga, Mallorca will face Celta Vigo on Saturday, April 5 at 18:30 Central European Time. I recommend betting on the goal productivity for this match.
Match Preview
Mallorca is sitting in the middle of the La Liga standings but struggles with scoring efficiency, averaging less than a goal per match. This makes it difficult for the team to challenge for a spot in European competitions. Currently, Mallorca is seven points behind sixth-placed Betis, which is a substantial gap. As the season nears its end, avoiding defeat to direct competitors is crucial.
Celta Vigo, positioned close to Mallorca, has a notable advantage in terms of converting chances, scoring significantly more. However, they often face challenges at the back. If things go well, even a seventh-place finish could earn them a spot in European football, making this head-to-head clash against Mallorca extremely important for both teams.
Match Facts
- Mallorca is unbeaten in their last four home matches.
- Celta Vigo is on a seven-match unbeaten streak.
- Mallorca averages 1.4 goals per game at home, while Celta Vigo averages 1.2 goals per game on the road.
