FC Barcelona vs RCD Mallorca: A Match Preview

FC Barcelona

FC Barcelona is currently ranked second in La Liga, one point behind Real Madrid. They have won their last four matches in all competitions, including a 3-0 win over Sevilla in the Copa del Rey semi-final first leg.

Barcelona will be without the suspended Robert Lewandowski for this match, but they have plenty of other attacking options in their squad. Ousmane Dembele, Raphinha, and Ansu Fati are all capable of scoring goals, and they will be looking to make a statement against Mallorca.

RCD Mallorca

RCD Mallorca is currently ranked 10th in La Liga. They have won their last two matches in all competitions, including a 1-0 win over Real Betis in the Copa del Rey quarter-final.

Mallorca will be without the injured Amath Ndiaye for this match, but they have a number of other players who can cause Barcelona problems. Vedat Muriqi is a dangerous striker, and he will be looking to add to his tally of 10 goals this season.

Head-to-Head

Barcelona and Mallorca have played each other 52 times in La Liga, with Barcelona winning 34 matches, Mallorca winning 9 matches, and 9 matches ending in a draw.

Barcelona won the reverse fixture 1-0 earlier this season, and they will be confident of getting another win on Saturday.

Prediction

Barcelona is the clear favorite for this match. They are in better form than Mallorca, and they have a better squad. However, Mallorca is a dangerous team, and they will be looking to cause an upset.

I predict that Barcelona will win the match 2-1.
