Maiorca-Celta Vigo is a match valid for the 20th day of La Liga and is played Saturday at 16:15: TV, formations and predictions
Heavy points for the salvation fight, points that can definitely make the difference. Mallorca has 18, two more than Celta Vigo, which would also be out of the red zone by a single length at the moment. But it is clear that the path is still long and anything can happen. So this challenge is worth double.
The 2024 has started better for the host lineup coached by Rafa Benitez. Two wins: one at home against Betis in the league, as important as it was heavy; an easier one in the King’s Cup. But winning helps to win, and the enthusiasm that has come through cannot be hidden at all. Less well, on the other hand, was Mallorca, which passed the round in the Spanish event, yes, but lost on its debut in the new calendar year against Real Madrid. A defeat at the Bernabeu is of course to be expected, and no one made dramas. But now it is necessary to try to change something and score points, against a team that, however, is doing well. And who could also attempt the big blow.
The prediction
It’s hard to think that Celta Vigo could pull off the external coup, also because Mallorca at home this season has only lost once this season, on the second day, against Villarreal. Since then only wins or draws. And a positive result should come out this time as well. The most likely ending: a draw.

MAIORCA (5-4-1): Rajkovic; Maffeo, Gonzalez, Raillo, Nastasic, Van Der Heyden; Sanchez, Morlanes, Samu Costa, Rodriguez; Larin.
CELTA VIGO (4-4-2): Guaita; Mingueza, Nunez, Dominguez, Sanchez; Perez, Tapia, Beltran, Cervi; Aspas, Larsen.
