Mallorca

WDLDWL ⚖

Mallorca will be hoping to return to winning ways here after the 1-2 La Liga losing effort in their last game against Villarreal.

In that match, Mallorca managed 54% possession and 9 attempts on goal with 4 on target. Villarreal got 21 shots on goal with 4 of them on target. Logan Costa (27'), Raúl Albiol (57' Own goal) and Ayoze Pérez (94') scored for Villarreal.

Jagoba Arrasate's Mallorca have managed to score 5 times over their past 6 outings. At the other end, the tally of goals that have been scored against them in that same time is 5.

Looking at their past form shows that Mallorca:

• have not beaten Real Sociedad in their previous 9 matches in the league.
• have not won at home in their last 4 league matches. Their supporters are understandably frustrated.

Real Sociedad

LLWLDL

Since tasting defeat last time out to Real Madrid in La Liga action, Real Sociedad will be aiming to make amends here.

In that match, Real Sociedad managed 48% possession and 11 shots at goal with 2 on target. Real Madrid had 16 shots on goal with 6 on target. Vinicius Júnior (58') and Kylian Mbappé (75') scored for Real Madrid.

The attacking players from Real Sociedad have struggled for goals over their previous six clashes, contributing the unsatisfactory return of just 3. In those fixtures, Txuri-urdin have also seen the overall goal aggregate against them equal 8.

Going into this game, the form guide shows that Real Sociedad:

• have not lost to Mallorca when they have played them away from home in the previous 4 league games. Travelling fans have really enjoyed these clashes.
• are undefeated in their previous 3 league matches away from home.

🤜🤛 Head to head

A look at their past head-to-head meetings going back to 17/01/2023 tells us that Mallorca have won 0 of these games & Real Sociedad 3, with the number of drawn games standing at 3.

In all, 9 goals were yielded between them in this period, with 3 from Los Bermellones and 6 belonging to Txuri-urdin. That’s an average goals per game of 1.5.

ℹ️ Team News: Mallorca

There is just one fitness concern for the Mallorca boss Jagoba Arrasate to contend with thanks to an almost full-strength group. Pablo Maffeo (Muscle injury) is sidelined.

We think that Los Bermellones could opt for a 4-2-3-1 formation in the match, handing starts to Leo Roman, Antonio Sanchez, Martin Valjent, Antonio Raillo, Johan Mojica, Manu Morlanes, Samu, Robert Navarro, Sergi Darder, Cyle Larin and Vedat Muriqi.

🗞️ Team News: Real Sociedad

Real Sociedad manager Imanol Alguacil has to choose from a squad that has some fitness concerns. Álvaro Odriozola (Ankle injury), Arsen Zakharyan (Tendon tear) and Hamari Traoré (Cruciate ligament tear) are not ready for selection.

From our viewpoint, Txuri-urdin will likely make use of a 4-2-3-1 lineup, giving starts to Alex Remiro, Jon Aramburu, Igor Zubeldia, Nayef Aguerd, Aihen Munoz, Martin Zubimendi, Luka Sucic, Sheraldo Becker, Takefusa Kubo, Sergio Gomez and Umar Sadiq.

✨ Prediction

Our assessment is that Real Sociedad and Mallorca could both well score here although it’s hard to see a clear-cut winner.

A draw is a real possibility, as we are expecting there to be little between them. With that in mind, we reckon that it will be a very close game with a 1-1 score draw when the full-time whistle blows.
