Barcelona vs Mallorca Analysis
Barcelona Preview
There remains hope that Xavi’s final season in charge at Barcelona could end with a major piece of silverware. Despite making a slow start to the campaign, the recent Barcelona results have seen them re-enter the race for the La Liga title. But, they still have an eight-point gap to make up on Real Madrid.
The La Liga team stats show that they have struggled defensively throughout this season, as they have already allowed 34 goals. That is more than any other side in the top nine positions in the Spanish top-flight.
Barcelona missed a golden opportunity to close the gap on Real Madrid last weekend after playing out a draw against Athletic Bilbao. However, they have still won two of their last three.
It could be worth examining their record in fixtures played on a Friday. Barcelona have lost twice in their last eleven played on that day of the week, which includes just one loss in their last five home matches on a Friday.
Mallorca Preview
There is also likely to be pressure on the visitors this weekend, as Mallorca still sit toward the bottom end of the La Liga standings. The Spanish side have suffered ten defeats already this term, while more will be expected from their forward players based on the La Liga player stats.
Mallorca have scored just 24 goals in their 27 matches this term, but they should come into this round in better confidence after picking up a second win in four league outings in their previous fixture.
That shock 1-0 win over Girona has given them a cushion in the battle to avoid relegation, with Mallorca coming into this showdown against Barcelona with an eight-point advantage over the bottom three sides.
Mallorca will take confidence from their 2-2 draw against the Catalonian giants earlier this season, but they haven’t avoided defeat in both league matches against Barcelona since the 2000-01 season.
Barcelona vs Mallorca Head to Head
Barcelona have recorded victories in 24 of their last 29 league fixtures against Mallorca. Over that period, Mallorca have recorded just three wins. Barcelona have also scored at least once in each of the last 29 fixtures between the sides in La Liga.
