Mallorca vs Real Sociedad prediction 06.02.2024

• Competition: Copa del Rey
• Date: Tuesday, 6th February 2024
• Kickoff: 20:00 UTC / 21:00 CET
• Venue: Estadi Mallorca Son Moix (Palma de Mallorca)

Over the course of the past decade, Mallorca has spent over half of that time in La Liga 2. Currently, the team, hailing from the Balearic Islands, is at risk of another relegation as they hold a precarious four-point lead above the relegation zone. Mallorca’s last two games have been losses, with the most recent being a 4-0 defeat on the road against Athletic Bilbao. The game was dominated by Bilbao from the get-go. In terms of expected goals (xG), Bilbao finished with a score of 2.10, while Mallorca lagged behind with a meager 0.37. Thus, it comes as no surprise that Mallorca suffered yet another loss.

Although Real Sociedad may not be performing at the same level as last season, they are still competitive enough to vie for spots in the European cups. Recently, they’ve enjoyed an impressive streak of five games without a loss across all competitions. Their most recent match was a 0-0 draw away against Girona. In this game against the season’s most unexpected standout team, Real Sociedad demonstrated strong defense throughout, earning them a deserved point.

Mallorca vs Real Sociedad pick: Under 2.5 goals

Mallorca has only managed to net five goals in their past six games. Conversely, Real Sociedad has shown strong defense, conceding just one goal in their last five matches. Therefore, placing a bet for under 2.5 goals seems like the most sensible option for this match.
