The 2022-23 edition of La Liga is back in action with another set of matches this weekend as Villarreal lock horns with an impressive Mallorca outfit in an important clash at the Iberostar Stadium on Saturday.
Villarreal are currently in eighth place in the La Liga standings and have not been at their best so far this season. The Yellow Submarines slumped to a narrow 1-0 defeat at the hands of Barcelona in their previous game and will look to bounce back this weekend.
Mallorca, on the other hand, are in 10th place in the league table at the moment and have been inconsistent over the course of their La Liga campaign. The home side suffered a damaging 2-0 defeat against Sevilla last week and will need to step up to the plate in this fixture.

Mallorca vs Villarreal Team News
Mallorca’s squad is in excellent shape at the moment, with Aguirre expected to have a full complement to choose from this weekend, barring any late setbacks.
The hosts will also be boosted by the return of Jaume Costa, who missed the defeat to Sevilla through suspension, and he is expected to come back into the starting side.
It might otherwise be the same XI that took to the field for the first whistle at Estadio Ramon, though, with Aguirre unlikely to shuffle his pack despite the disappointing result.
As for Villarreal, Gerard Moreno, Nicolas Jackson, Alfonso Pedraza and Giovani Lo Celso remain on the sidelines through injury.
Francis Coquelin, meanwhile, picked up a serious knee injury against Barcelona last time out, with the experienced midfielder now out for the season.
