The 2022-23 edition of La Liga returns to the fold with another round of matches this weekend as Villarreal lock horns with Mallorca in an important clash at the Estadio Ciudad de Valencia on Sunday.
Villarreal vs Mallorca Preview
Mallorca are currently in 14th place in the La Liga standings and have been fairly impressive so far this season. The away side held Espanyol to a 1-1 draw last week and will look to take it up a notch in this fixture.
Villarreal, on the other hand, are in eighth place in the league table at the moment and have been inconsistent this year. The Yellow Submarine slumped to a 1-0 defeat against Athletic Bilbao in their previous league game and will need to bounce back this weekend.
