[LaLiga] Villarreal are again set to be missing some key players for this match, and they will be coming up against a strong Mallorca outfit.

Villarreal is struggling with poor form, having narrowly lost to Real Sociedad (0:1) in the previous round. The team is far from its best, with only one win in their last seven La Liga games, along with three draws and three losses.

This disappointing stretch has dropped Marcelino García's squad from fourth to fifth place in the standings, now trailing Athletic by six points. Adding to their woes is a weak defense. Over 20 rounds, Villarreal has conceded 31 goals, making their defense one of the worst in the league, surpassed only by Valladolid with 37 goals conceded.

Mallorca, on the other hand, ended the previous calendar year on a high note with two consecutive victories. First, they defeated Girona at home (2:1), and then secured a narrow away win over Getafe (1:0).

These successes allowed Jagoba Arrasate's side to catch up with Villarreal in points, although the "Yellow Submarine" remains ahead due to a better goal difference. Notably, Mallorca has drawn only once in their last 16 La Liga games, achieving 9 wins and 6 losses during this stretch.
