Villarreal Wants to Secure a Place in European Competitions This Season

While the season does leave room for some hope, let’s say it hasn’t been the dream start to the season for Villarreal.

However, they did have a good record leading into their sixth matchday before the break: three wins, two draws, and one defeat, which left them with 11 points.

The upcoming matches after this break would also be definitive, as they played rivals such as Barcelona and Athletic, Almeria.

Indeed, they have even scored solidly while being even better at defending. And this will likely be Unai Emery’s strategy for the season: to not falter in defense but still take full advantage of counterattacks left by the rival.

The three points up for grabs in Villarreal vs Mallorca could mean moving up in the table and resting quietly in better positions.

Mallorca Is Determined to Defend Its Place in the First Division

Last season was not easy for the Bermellones, and they finished in 16th place, just a few steps away from relegation.

Out of the 38 matches they played, they only won ten while drawing nine and losing a whopping nineteen. These abysmal results sent them straight to the bottom end of the table after they accumulated just 39 out of 114 points. Worse, they only scored 36 goals but conceded 63, leaving them with a -27 goal balance at the end of the season.

Of course, they’re back this year, but it is certainly costing them. Once again, they are not scoring many victories, and they still have many difficult matches ahead. A competition like this requires leaving everything on the field and not hesitating when an opportunity comes.

The yellow submarines will play Villarreal vs Mallorca on November 6 as visitors, and although they know that it will not be an easy opponent, they must try to get the victory to survive.
