Mallorca - Real Sociedad Predictions

Prediction: Draw or Real Sociedad
Best odds: 1.36
Prediction: Under 3.5
Best odds: 1.12

As the football world turns its eyes to the Estadi Mallorca Son Moix this Sunday, a clash between Mallorca and Real Sociedad promises to be a riveting encounter in the La Liga. With predictions leaning towards an away win or draw, the question on everyone's mind is whether Mallorca can defy the odds or Real Sociedad will cement their position in the upper echelons of the table.

Key Players

Mallorca's hopes may rest on the shoulders of Cyle Christopher Larin, an attacker whose prowess in front of the goal has seen him take a total of 42 shots, 19 of which were on target. Despite only finding the net twice, his influence on the pitch is undeniable. In the midfield, Antonio Sánchez Navarro has been a consistent performer with 292 total passes and a key assist to his name, making him a vital link in Mallorca's chain.

Real Sociedad, on the other hand, boasts the talents of Carlos Fernández Luna, an attacker whose vision and skill have contributed to two goals and an assist this season. The dynamism of Umar Sadiq Mesbah cannot be overlooked, with the attacker's seven shots on target and two goals proving crucial for the team. Additionally, Ander Barrenetxea Muguruza has been a revelation, scoring three goals and making his presence felt with a total of 278 passes.

Recent Form

Mallorca's recent form has been less than stellar, with their last five games resulting in two losses and three draws. This run of results has seen them score a mere 19 goals while conceding 30, highlighting a need for improvement both offensively and defensively.

Real Sociedad, meanwhile, has shown more consistency. Their last five matches produced one win, three draws, and a loss. They have managed to find the back of the net 32 times this season, while their defense has conceded 21 goals, indicating a more balanced team performance.

Head-to-Head History

The head-to-head record between these two sides is telling. Their most recent encounter on February 6, 2024, ended in a goalless draw. Before that, on October 21, 2023, Real Sociedad eked out a 1-0 victory. The previous matches on March 12 and January 17 of 2023 also saw Real Sociedad come out on top with the same scoreline, while a draw was recorded on October 19, 2022. This history suggests a tight contest, with Real Sociedad having a slight edge.

Prediction

Taking into account the teams' current form, key players' performances, and historical encounters, the prediction leans towards Real Sociedad either winning or securing a draw. The advice for those betting on the match is a combo double chance: draw or Real Sociedad and under 3.5 goals.

Mallorca will rely heavily on Cyle Christopher Larin and Antonio Sánchez Navarro to break through a solid Real Sociedad defense, which has proven difficult for many teams this season. Conversely, Real Sociedad's offensive threats like Carlos Fernández Luna and Ander Barrenetxea Muguruza are expected to challenge Mallorca's defensive resolve.

Given the teams' respective positions in the league standings, with Mallorca sitting at 16th and Real Sociedad at 7th, and the statistical analysis favoring the visitors with a 72.7% total percent away win probability, the final prediction is a Real Sociedad victory or a draw, with the match unlikely to see more than three goals. This fixture is set to be a tactical battle, with both sides eager to claim crucial points as the season progresses.
