Sunday evening in Vigo carries different pressures for each side. Mallorca arrive in the bottom three, just one point from safety. Celta sit a point off the top six. Europe whispers to one club. Relegation looms over the other. Bookmakers favour the Sky Blues. Still, when survival is involved, matches tend to tighten rather than flow.

La Liga
Ten league meetings since 2020. Mallorca edged four wins, though none came in the last four clashes. Celta claimed three victories, including two of the last three. Three draws fill out the list. The average sits at 2.50 goals per game. Not explosive. Not dull either.
Celta Vigo team overview
Celta’s recent history has swung between anxiety and ambition. Two seasons flirting with relegation ended in 13th and 14th place. Last year’s seventh felt like a release. The Sky Blues wanted to build on that. So far, progress feels uneven.
Claudio Giráldez’s side hover near the European spots, only a point off the top six. Yet form muddies the picture. No wins in four league matches, two draws and two defeats. Defensively, there has been only one clean sheet in the last seven games across all competitions. That fragility lingers.
Home form offers some reassurance. Four wins in the last five at Balaídos. Iago Aspas impressed in Europe against PAOK with a goal and an assist, though the veteran has mostly featured from the bench in league play.

Mallorca team overview
Since promotion in 2020-21, Mallorca have survived each season. Ninth in 2022-23 and tenth last year suggested quiet stability. This campaign feels more strained.
Jagoba Arrasate’s side sit in the relegation zone with just six wins. The gap to safety is only a point, which keeps belief alive. However, recent results have been rough. Defeats to Barcelona and Real Betis, 5-1 on aggregate, exposed vulnerabilities. Three straight away league losses add to the concern.
Jan Salas remains sidelined with a cruciate injury. There are no suspensions, which at least gives Arrasate a full hand to work with.

Prediction
Only one of the last seven meetings between Celta and Mallorca went beyond two goals, which already hints at a cagey pattern. The Sky Blues are winless in four league games. Mallorca are struggling too, yet only a point from safety. With both attacks stuttering, a tense 1-1 draw seems a fair call.
Three reasons we expect under 2.5 goals in this game
- Only one of the last seven meetings between Celta Vigo and Mallorca produced more than two goals.
- Mallorca scored under 1.5 goals in each of their last nine games across all competitions.
- Celta de Vigo scored more than once in each two of their last six fixtures.
