For their opponents, Celta Vigo got 10 attempts at goal with 4 of them on target. Alfon González (53') and Fer López (72') scored for Celta Vigo.

A look at their previous results shows us that Mallorca:

• have not registered a win against Real Sociedad when having played them away from home in the previous 10 league games. Very poor away form.
• have not won away from home in their last 5 matches in the league.

🧠 Prediction

Our assessment is that Mallorca should be able to score a goal against this Real Sociedad team, but that isn’t expected to be as many as they’ll concede.

We’re expecting a tight encounter finishing with a 2-1 winning margin for Real Sociedad at full-time. Should be an interesting one.
