The 2021-22 edition of La Liga is back in action with another set of matches this weekend as Mallorca take on Celta Vigo on Friday. Both teams have been inconsistent this season and will want to win this game.
Mallorca are in 12th place in the La Liga standings and have punched above their weight this season. The home side stunned Atletico Madrid with a 2-1 victory last week and will want a similar result in this fixture.
Celta Vigo, on the other hand, are in 14th place in the league table at the moment and have struggled this year. The Galicians suffered a 2-1 defeat against Valencia in their previous game and will want to bounce back this weekend.
