Barcelona vs Mallorca Match Analysis
In the opening game of La Liga’s 28th round, Barcelona will play against Mallorca at home.
Match Preview
Xavi’s squad is currently third in La Liga, 8 points behind Real Madrid.
Barcelona’s hope to win the Spanish title this year is almost gone.
Last round, they didn’t score against Athletic Bilbao (0:0), and they also faced a big problem with injuries to midfielders Frenkie de Jong and Pedri.
Last week was really special for Mallorca.
They first beat Real Sociedad in a penalty shootout, making it to the Copa del Rey final for the first time in 21 years.
Then, they won 1-0 at home against Girona.
Mallorca is now 15th in La Liga, 8 points clear of the drop zone.
Prediction: Barcelona 2-0 Mallorca
Mallorca has won just three of their last ten La Liga games, showing they might struggle against Barcelona.
Barcelona, feeling good with seven wins from their last ten league games, should have the upper hand, especially playing at home.
- Prediction: Barcelona to Win
Mallorca’s recent games against Atletico Madrid, Girona, and Real Madrid had under 2.5 goals, and we believe they could keep the goal total low against Barcelona.
However, most of Barcelona’s recent games had more than 2.5 goals.
- Betting Tip: Under 3.5 Goals
