Each team's starting lineup from their last match in this tournament is listed.
Mallorca
Jagoba Arrasate's side ended a three-match winless streak in the league, during which they drew once and lost twice without scoring a goal. They have now started a new, winning streak. First, they defeated Las Palmas away (3-2), then secured a victory at home against Valencia (2-1). The team is currently fighting for a spot in the European competition zone.
- The club has not lost in 7 of their last 10 La Liga matches (6 wins and 1 draw).
- No more than 3 goals have been scored in 15 of Mallorca's last 16 La Liga games.
- In the team's last six league matches, the first half ended in a draw.
Barcelona
The Catalans have failed to win in three consecutive La Liga matches. After losing to Real Sociedad away (0-1) and drawing with Celta (2-2), they suffered a surprising home defeat to Las Palmas (1-2). Barcelona has not gone three league matches without a win since November 2021. Following two consecutive losses back then, Ronald Koeman was dismissed, and the club drew twice under interim coach Sergi Barjuan. As a result, Hans Flick's side lost a 9-point lead over Real Madrid and now even trail them in terms of points dropped.
Due to injuries, goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen, defender Andreas Christensen, and midfielder Marc Bernal are currently sidelined.
- At least three goals have been scored in 7 of the Catalans' last 8 La Liga games.
- In their last four away La Liga matches, Barcelona scored only once in the first half.
- Both teams have scored in 7 of the club's last 10 away league matches.
Mallorca vs. Barcelona: Match Prediction
Hans Flick's experiments with the lineup have led to a disaster. Although the team remains at the top, if Real Madrid wins their rescheduled match, they will take the lead in the standings. I'm sure that three consecutive matches without a win will affect the Catalans' confidence.
Defeating Mallorca this season is not easy, especially on their home turf. The islanders are particularly strong in the second half. In their last 11 home league matches, the club has lost only once in the second half (against Atletico), winning 3 times and drawing 7. Meanwhile, Barcelona has failed to win the second half in four consecutive La Liga matches (1 draw and 3 losses). Additionally, in five of their last six away league matches, the Catalans were unable to win the second half four times (3 draws and 1 loss).
My prediction: Second half: Mallorca win or draw
