Prediction: 1-0
Mallorca
Celta Vigo will be aiming to build on a splendid 7-0 Copa del Rey win over Salamanca when they take on Mallorca in the La Liga round 16. Os Celeste failed to win the previous three league matches, but the Spanish Cup triumph undisputedly gave them a confidence boost. Both Jailson and Manquillo remain in the recovery room, while experienced attacker Iago Aspas should be recalled to the starting XI after he was rested against Salamanca.
Los Bermellones, on the other hand, aim to recover from a heavy 5-1 loss to league leaders Barcelona. Even though Mallorca are sitting in the Conference League berth, home win should be considered as the hosts want this win more than the visitors. Cyle Larin is pushing for a start, while the likes of Copete, Pichu Cuellar, and Lato remain on the sidelines with injuries for the visiting team.
Highlighted Player (Jonathan Bamba):
After spending his youth career at CS Paris-Charenton, UJA AlfortVille and Saint-Etienne, Jonathan Bamba started playing for Saint-Etienne II at senior level. In 2015 he was given a chance to prove his worth with the first team and it has to be noted that he scored eight goals in 42 appearances for les Verts in Ligue 1.
Following his loan spells with Paris, Sint-Truiden and Angers, Jonathan Bamba joined Lille in the summer of 2018. The pacey winger born in Alfortville (France) on March 26, 1996, has been playing for les Dogues ever since, but he has yet to earn a cap for the French national team. Nonetheless, Jonathan Bamba has 12 caps with France U21 in which he scored four goals for les Tricolores.
Jonathan Bamba’s main position is left winger, but he is used as a centre-forward as well. The French footballer, whose preferred foot is right, has a contract with Lille until June 30, 2023.
Highlighted Team (Mallorca):
Thanks to a win over Deportivo La Coruna in the 2018/2019 Segunda Division play-offs final Mallorca secured promotion to Primera Division. Los Bermellones returned to the Spanish top flight following a six-year absence. Over the years Mallorca have turned their Estadi de son Moix into a real fortress, with the team producing much better showings at home than on the travels.
Opened in June 1999, the venue can hold up to 23,142 people. The club based in Balearic Islands are well known for their red shirts with one black stripe and black shorts. Mallorca’s away colours are white and red. Former Barcelona and Inter ace Samuel Eto’o is undisputedly the most notable footballer who played for the club.
Back in 1999 Mallorca made it to the UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup final, with the team suffering a 2-1 loss to Lazio in the title game. Four years later los Bermellones won Spanish Copa del Rey, which is considered the club’s biggest success.
