Mallorca

LWLWLL

Mallorca will be hoping to bounce back here following a 0-1 La Liga defeat in their last game at the hands of Elche CF.

In that game, Mallorca managed 56% possession and 14 attempts at goal with 3 of them on target. Elche got 14 attempts at goal with 6 on target. Lucas Boyé (88') was the scorer for Elche CF.

It has been seldom in recent games that Mallorca have managed to hold out for a full 90 minutes. In fact, Mallorca have seen their defence breached in 5 of their previous 6 clashes, letting in 9 goals in the process.

Coming into this clash, Mallorca have not emerged victorious against Real Sociedad in their previous 6 league matches.

Real Sociedad

LWDLDL

After suffering a loss in their previous game against Roma in Europa League action, Real Sociedad and their fans will hope to get a better result this time.

In that game, Real Sociedad managed 60% possession and 9 attempts on goal with 1 on target. At the other end, Roma had 9 shots at goal with 3 of them on target. Stephan El Shaarawy (13') and Marash Kumbulla (87') scored for Roma.

The attacking players from Real Sociedad have suffered from a shortage of goals over their last 6 games, recording the disappointing return of just 4. In those matches, Txuri-urdin have also seen the overall goal tally of their opponents equal 7. Such a trend might not be carried forward into this match, though.

Coming into this contest, Real Sociedad haven't been beaten by Mallorca when they have played them away from home in the previous 2 league games.

👥 Head to head

Checking on their past head to head results stretching back to 25/08/2019 shows that these encounters have not been fruitful for Mallorca. They’ve not managed to get themselves any victories at all whereas Real Sociedad have managed to find a way, winning in 100% of those ties.

An aggregate of 9 goals were produced between them in these games, with 0 for Los Bermellones and 9 being from Txuri-urdin. The average goals per game has been 1.5.

🗞️ Team News: Mallorca

The Mallorca manager Javier Aguirre doesn’t have any fitness concerns at all coming into this clash owing to a fully injury-free group to choose from.

In our view, Los Bermellones will probably line up in a 3-2-4-1 system this time featuring Predrag Rajkovic, Giovanni Gonzalez, Antonio Raillo, Matija Nastasic, Pablo Maffeo, Jaume Costa, Daniel Rodriguez, Idrissu Baba, I. Ruiz de, Kang-In Lee and Tino Kadewere.

📋 Team News: Real Sociedad

Real Sociedad boss Imanol Alguacil has to choose from a squad that has some fitness concerns. Umar Sadiq (Cruciate Ligament Rupture), Aritz Elustondo (Ankle Injury) and Martín Merquelanz (Knee Injury) are names that won’t be on the team sheet.

It’s our belief that Txuri-urdin appear most likely to play in a 4-2-3-1 formation, starting the game with Alex Remiro, Andoni Gorosabel, Robin Le Normand, Jon Pacheco, Diego Rico, Mikel Merino, Martin Zubimendi, Brais Mendez, David Silva, Mikel Oyarzabal and Carlos Fernandez.

✨ Prediction

Here is a game where Mallorca will need to push hard to score goals against this Real Sociedad side who we think will likely get a goal themselves and run out victorious.

We therefore see a very competitive game with a 0-1 winning margin for Real Sociedad at the end of the match.

There should be little in it.
