Villarreal CF travels to Mallorca to face RCD Mallorca on LaLiga EA Sports Matchday 35, a crucial match for the hosts in their fight for survival and an opportunity for the Yellow Submarine to pursue historical records.

Villarreal CF will face RCD Mallorca this Sunday at Son Moix in a match corresponding to LaLiga EA Sports Matchday 35. This game will be the first for the Yellow Submarine following the official announcement of their coach's departure at the end of the season. The team arrives with their main seasonal objectives already met.
Meanwhile, RCD Mallorca is just two points away from the relegation zone, currently marked by Alavés with 36 points. The need for a victory is paramount for the Vermilions, given the high volatility at the bottom of the table. The fight for survival extends up to the twelfth position, held by Valencia CF with 39 points, and with four matchdays remaining, the competition in the danger zone is intense. Therefore, Mallorca, with 38 points, needs to accumulate as many points as possible in every match until the end of the campaign.
In direct confrontations between the two teams, Villarreal CF has won four of the last five matches, with one draw. In this season's previous encounter, the Yellow Submarine secured a 2-1 home victory with goals from Gerard Moreno and Oluwaseyi, while Samu Costa scored for Mallorca.
The match will be played on Sunday, May 10, at 2:00 PM at the Estadio de Son Moix and will be broadcast on M+ LaLiga.
After securing their qualification for the Champions League for the second consecutive time, Villarreal CF has little left to do but aim for historical club records. The runner-up position is mathematically possible, though difficult, with 12 points still to play for and 9 to make up. The team could equal the record of 77 points set in the 2007/2008 season, and the record of 24 wins in a season, for which they would need to win three of the remaining four matches.
Mallorca, on the other hand, arrives in good form after defeating Girona 0-1 at Montilivi. Since a new coach took over eight matchdays ago, the team has only lost two games. Furthermore, the Vermilions are much more competitive at home, being the eighth strongest team in LaLiga at their stadium. Another incentive for the hosts is having the league's second-highest scorer, Muiriqi, who has accumulated 21 goals this season.
