Mallorca vs Real Sociedad - Preview and Prediction

Overview

In an upcoming La Liga clash, Mallorca is set to host Real Sociedad at the Estadi Mallorca Son Moix. With both teams having played 24 games this season, they find themselves at different ends of the league table. Mallorca is currently positioned at 16th with 23 points, while Real Sociedad sits comfortably in 7th place with 37 points. The match promises to be a compelling encounter as both sides aim to secure crucial points for their respective campaigns.

Mallorca

Mallorca has had a challenging season so far, with only 4 wins out of their 24 matches. Their recent form has been a mixed bag, as reflected in their last five games which resulted in a win, two losses, and two draws. Despite their struggles, they managed to secure a narrow victory in their last fixture against Rayo Vallecano with a scoreline of 2-1. Playing at home, where they recently celebrated a win, could provide them with the much-needed confidence and support from the fans. However, their historical performance against Real Sociedad hasn't been favorable, with no wins, two draws, and three losses in their last encounters.

Real Sociedad

Real Sociedad has been performing relatively well this season, securing 9 wins and maintaining a positive goal difference of +10. Their recent form shows some inconsistency with one win, two draws, and two losses in their last five games. The team faced disappointment in their last match against Osasuna, losing 0-1 at home. Despite this setback, Real Sociedad has had the upper hand in past meetings with Mallorca, boasting three wins and two draws. They will be looking to bounce back from their recent defeat and extend their dominance over Mallorca.

Prediction

The prediction for the upcoming match leans towards an away victory for Real Sociedad. This forecast is based on the current form of both teams and their historical head-to-head record. While Mallorca will have the advantage of playing on home turf at Estadi Mallorca Son Moix, Real Sociedad's superior league position and past success against Mallorca make them the favorites to take all three points.

As both teams prepare for this encounter, it will be interesting to see if Mallorca can leverage their home advantage to upset the odds or if Real Sociedad will continue their strong record against their hosts and solidify their standing in La Liga.
