Villarreal will be bidding to bounce back from their opening-weekend loss to Real Betis when they continue their La Liga campaign away to Mallorca on Friday night.
The Yellow Submarine suffered a 2-1 home defeat in their opening match of the season, while Mallorca came from behind to draw 1-1 with Las Palmas in their first game of the 2023-24 campaign.
We say: Mallorca 1-1 Villarreal
Villarreal will be desperate to bounce back from their loss to Real Betis, but Mallorca are a very good side, and we are struggling to back the hosts to lose. There has also been one draw in the last eight league meetings between these two sides, but we are expecting the points to be shared here.

Valencia will be aiming to make it successive wins at the start of their 2023-24 La Liga campaign when they welcome newly-promoted Las Palmas to Mestalla on Friday night.
Los Che will enter the contest off the back of an impressive 2-1 victory over Sevilla at Estadio Ramon, while Las Palmas began life back at this level of football with a 1-1 draw at home to Mallorca.
We say: Valencia 2-1 Las Palmas
This has all of the makings of a very interesting match, and both sides will certainly believe that they can hurt the other in the final third of the field. It would not be a surprise to see a draw here, but we have a feeling that Valencia will edge a close match in front of their own supporters.
