Let's dive into this matchup headfirst, shall we? And the waters are tepid my friends, so don't expect any splashes. On one side of the ring, we have Mallorca. They've been led by their goalkeeper, Dominik Greif, who has a rating of 6.80 and seems to have a soft spot for the number 8 with 8 saves this season.
Their top players have been Antonio Raíllo and Takuma Asano. Raíllo commands respect with a rating of 7.28, 1 goal under his belt, and an accurate pass percentage of 85.5. Asano, on the other hand, has been weaving through defenses, scoring 2 goals, making his presence felt around the net, and an accurate pass percentage of 75.5.
Swinging to the other corner, we've got Celta Vigo commanded by Vicente Guaita in the goalie spot. He's sitting pretty with a 7.23 rating and 8 saves. Alfon González and Marcos Alonso are leading the charge for the team. González has been lighting it up with a 7.43 rating, 2 goals, and an 81.4 accurate pass percentage. Alonso, not to be outdone, has been holding on with a rating of 7.27, 1 goal under his belt, and a field commander level accurate pass percentage of 91.4.
Taking a look at their past, the marriages between the two have been far from friendly. The last five shindigs saw Mallorca as the slight winner in the number of body blows landed, with three wins as compared to Celta Vigo's one. Their regular season records aren't much to write home about either, they're both languishing with a score of 11-7-11.
It seems like Mallorca have been slightly more consistent with their recent results, cunningly holding their opponents to a tie even when they're away from home. Now, if I put my money where my mouth is (and trust me, I don't do it often), I'd say this one is too close to call.
