Real Sociedad - Mallorca predictions

By pricing a home win at around 1.81, the bookies made it clear that Real Sociedad are the favourites. Overall, though, the difference between the teams is not big, and the match can end either way.

Considering what they’re up against, Mallorca can’t set their ambitions too high in this match. Playing as visitors at odds of 5.31 for an away win, calling them underdogs seems like an understatement.

La Real are here on the back of a convincing 1:3 away victory against Las Palmas in the previous round. They played confidently throughout the match – most experts predicted a narrow win, but few expected such a rout for the opposition.

Mallorca are coming on the back of a narrow 1:2 home defeat to Celta de Vigo. They were ahead at half-time, which was a bit of a surprise considering the 2.93 most online bookmakers gave on a home win.

La Real can’t seem to maintain a proper defence whenever they play as visitors. With 7 concessions over the past three away games, it’s obvious some tweaks need to be made in defence.

Surprisingly enough, the hosts already lost to Mallorca once this season. This came as a bit of an upset, to say the least, considering they are widely believed to be the stronger team.

This Saturday, both teams will be at full strength and able to give it their all.

We can say with no small amount of confidence that this match will confirm the Over 2.5 Goals market. Both teams fit the bill for such a wager perfectly, so this is a very safe bet, offered at the odds of 2.50 at 888Sport.
