Quick Navigation
FC Barcelona currently sit at the top of the points table this season with 21 wins in 30 games. For a quick odds focused preview of this fixture, you can also check our match prediction for Barcelona vs Mallorca. Barca will hope to further distance their points total from 2nd placed rivals Real Madrid after the match. Led by international superstar Robert Lewandowski, 25 goals, known for his length and finishing ability, he will get strong passes from Raphinha. As Raphinha, 13 goals and 8 assists, can attack in various ways, it helps create a lethal combination with Lamine Yamal, 11 assists, to create opportunities near the net.
Seeing that Ferran Torres (9 goals), is a rising attacking threat at midfield, Pedri (23 interceptions) has been a real threat in taking away the ball and setting up offense. With Marc Casado (44 tackles) usually dropping in the backline, he was supported by Jules Kounde as a leader on defense. Someone who has 58 tackles, him and Alejandro Balde will make Wojciech Szczęsny have another big game in the net.
As Mallorca enters this match, they are currently ranked in 10th place and looking to create one of their biggest upsets after showing an immense rise as a club. Led by Vedat Murigi, 7 goals, he has become a top-notch finisher near opposing goalkeepers and has developed elite speed. With Cyle Larin, 5 goals, next to him as someone who started in and out of the lineup, his athletic ability helps create a scary combo with Murigi. Dani Rodriguez has proved to be one of the most skilled dribblers and passers from the midfield areas as he’s scored 4 times while dishing out 5 assists this season.
As Pablo Maffeo is the top tackler with 54 so far this season, Antonio Raillo has an immensely strong skill in stealing the ball with 27 interceptions. Seeing that Johan Mojica will continue being a leader on that unit and Omar Mascarell, 41 interceptions, creates tons of pressure in/out from this lineup.
