Barcelona vs Mallorca Match Overview – 07.02.2025
La Liga leaders Barcelona host Mallorca at the Spotify Camp Nou in a match from the 23rd round of the Spanish elite division. Stay with us because we will preview it in our Best value soccer tips and predictions. Let’s go!
Barca are leaders in La Liga, but they have just one point advantage in front of the second Real Madrid. This means that Los Cules have to win this one in order to keep the first place.
Mallorca are 14th in La Liga after 22 matches played. Los Piratas won two of their last three games in the league, though – they are on the right path. But that’s not enough – Jagoba Arrasate’s team is just two points ahead of the 18th Rayo Vallecano and the relegation zone.
Barcelona News & Analysis
Barca won four of their last five games in La Liga. Hansi Flick’s team reacted well to their defeat against Real Sociedad, winning two consecutive matches against Oviedo and Elche.
In their last La Liga game Barcelona paid a visit to Elche and secured a 3-1 win away from home. During the week the Catalans won again – this time against Albacete in the Copa del Rey 1/4-finals. It seems that Flick’s team is in a good shape at the moment – now they will try to keep the top.
The biggest question in Barcelona’s camp is the situation with Raphinha. One of Barcelona’s leaders missed the Copa del Rey game because of a small injury. For the Catalans it’d be important if he can recover in time to face Mallorca.
Mallorca News & Analysis
Just like Barcelona, Mallorca won their last game in La Liga. Los Piratas faced Sevilla at home and achieved a stunning 4-1 win at the Son Moix. Four different players scored for the hosts as Muriqi, Samu Costa, Darder and Pablo Torre put the ball in the net.
We don’t expect many changes in Mallorca’s team compared to the game against Sevilla. Vedat Muriqi is expected to lead the attack while Virgili, Darder and Asano will support from second position. Barca have to be careful with Muriqi – he has 15 goals in 21 matches in La Liga this season.
Mallorca’s attacking midfielder Pablo Torre will have the opportunity to shine against his former club Barcelona. Most likely Torre will start from the bench, but he’d have the chance to play in the second half.
