However, Mallorca have proven stubborn opponents throughout the campaign at their Estadi Mallorca.

Mallorca – Los Pirates must restore fear factor in Majorca?

Avoiding a swift return to La Liga 2 remains the name of the game for the Majorca-based side, promoted as runners-up from Spain’s Segunda Division at the conclusion of last term. It has been a case of so far so good for ‘Los Pirates’. Although Saturday’s 1-0 defeat at home to Valencia – a side that hadn’t won in the league since before Christmas – did provide Luis Garcia and his team with a setback that looked avoidable.

As is often the case in home games, Mallorca created more than enough openings to merit more from their latest contest. As such, they are five points above the La Liga drop zone. Moreover, it brought their two-match winning run at the Estadi Mallorca, where they had only lost once in eight La Liga outings beforehand, to an abrupt halt, having previously recorded 2-1 and 3-2 victories over Cadiz and Athletic Bilbao.

Key Stat: All 13 Mallorca home La Liga fixtures this term have either ended in a draw (6) or were settled by a solitary goal (W4 L3).

 

 

Real Sociedad – Homesick tendencies big cause for concern?

Sunday’s slender 1-0 victory at home to Osasuna continued the Basque’s outfit’s solid start to year. It was a deserved three points for Imanol Alguacil and his team, taking them on to 41 points after 25 games – only one shy of sixth-placed Villarreal and the European places, and within four of the top-four. A fifth successive win against Mallorca in midweek would see them make further inroads into those deficits.

Those three points will need to be hard earned though. As while Sociedad were narrow victors at this venue in August 2019, their eight prior visits in league and cup yielded a miserly two draws and six defeats. Furthermore, after a crushing 4-0 loss to Basque rivals Athletic Bilbao in their latest away assignment, Alguacil’s charges remain without a La Liga win on their travels since beating Osasuna in November (D2 L3).

Key Stats: Five clean sheets across the last six La Liga games for Real Sociedad has contributed to 11 of their past 13 league games seeing no more than one team score.

Mallorca Vs Real Sociedad Betting Advice

On the evidence of their recent form, one would have to rate Real Sociedad’s chances of registering a second consecutive La Liga victory away to Mallorca as strong. Imanol Alguacil’s men are W3 D3 L1 since the turn of the year and come into this midweek contest nine places and 15 points better off than their opponents. Yet their failure to win an away league game since November clearly undermines their prospects.

 

 

Conversely, it is five defeats in seven in 2022 for Mallorca who even managed to lose to a Valencia outfit which hadn’t won in seven last time out. However, just the three teams have got the better of them here at the Estadi Mallorca. A ground where none of thirteen La Liga games this term were settled by a margin greater than one goal. It promises to be tight therefore, boosting the appeal of the points being shared.
