Mallorca vs Real Sociedad preview: Goals expected
Key stats
- Mallorca have lost their last three matches in La Liga.
- At least three goals were scored in eight of Real Sociedad's last 10 matches.
- Four of the last five clashes between these sides went below the 4.5-card threshold.
Correct score prediction: Mallorca 1-2 Real Sociedad
Mallorca sit 18th in La Liga table with 24 points from 25 matches, only five points behind 13th-placed Getafe. Jagoba Arrasate's side have been really poor in 2026, losing six of their eight league matches, and they need some strong results to get out of the relegation zone.
In contrast, Txuri-Urdin have lost only once in La Liga since the turn of the year, but they are without a win in their last two games, conceding seven goals.
Mallorca have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last 11 matches, and have conceded at least two goals in seven of their last eight matches, so we predict a 2-1 win for the visitors.
Pre-game odds and win probability: Real Sociedad backed to win the tie
- HOME: 15/8 (2.88) – 34.7%
- DRAW: 9/4 (3.25) – 30.8%
- AWAY: 29/20 (2.45) – 40.8%
*Odds from Ladbrokes, subject to change

Both sides are struggling to keep clean sheets, and nine of Real Sociedad's last 10 games produced goals at both ends. Therefore, BTTS – Yes at 5/6 (1.83) with 54.5% chances of landing, looks an attractive odd.
Mallorca have conceded first in four of their last five matches, and as a result, the visitors are priced at 20/21 (1.95) to score the opening goal.

Mallorca preview: Can they pick up their sixth home win?
For Los Piratas, the immediate objective will be to halt their recent slump, and sharing the points with the visitors in strong form would not be viewed negatively.
That said, Mallorca are yet to play out a draw in 2026, and if that pattern continues, they will aim to secure their third victory of the year and a sixth home win this weekend.
The Vermilions are with Takuma Asano and Jan Salas, while Marash Kumbulla is doubtful for this game.
Predicted lineup: Roman (GK), Maffeo, Raillo, Valjent, Mojica, Luvumbo, Darder, Morlanes, Costa, Virgili & Muriqi

Real Sociedad preview: Need to get back to winning ways
After two disappointing results, La Real should look to pick up all three points against a struggling Mallorca side, and they will not get a better opportunity than this to stage a strong comeback.
The visitors are also missing several key players, with Inaki Ruperez and Takefusa Kubo both absent and unlikely to return until next month.
Alvaro Odriozola has picked up a long-term injury and he is out until October, while Brais Mendez is suspended, after picking up his fifth yellow of the season.
Predicted lineup: Remiro (GK), Aramburu, Caleta-Car, Herrera, Gomez, Soler, Gorrotxategi, Martin, Guedes, Oskarsson & Oyarzabal

- 07/02/26: Real Sociedad 3-1 Elche (La Liga)
- 04/02/26: Alaves 2-3 Real Sociedad (Copa del Rey)
Player to watch: Mikel Oyarzabal
The Spaniard has been in outstanding form this season, and Real Sociedad will rely on him to produce moments of inspiration as they aim to return to winning ways.
A versatile attacking midfielder, the 28-year-old has scored 10 goals and registered three assists in 22 La Liga matches, and has scored three times in his last five games.
