The title race is not yet over in Spain but analysis shows there can be no more dropped points for the teams chasing Real Madrid at the top.
One of those teams is Barcelona and they meet Mallorca on the 8th of March at the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys. The hosts begin this round of matches in 3rd place on 58 points while the visitors are in 15th place on 27 points.
Barcelona come into the game having been held to a 0-0 draw against Athletic Bilbao away in La Liga last weekend.
It was a decent result for Barcelona at a tough place to play but they failed to close the gap on the leaders, which was disappointing.
The draw at Athletic Bilbao means Barcelona are undefeated in their 7 most recent fixtures in all competitions.
There have been wins over Osasuna and Getafe at home plus Alaves and Celta Vigo away in La Liga. Barcelona were also held to a draw at home by Granada in La Liga and at Napoli in the Champions League.
Trends show there are no losses for Barcelona in 37 of their most recent 43 home games in all competitions.
They are undefeated in each of their last 3 home La Liga matches and have a good recent record against Mallorca, remaining undefeated in each of their last 15 meetings in all competitions.
Mallorca make the trip to the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys on the back of a good 1-0 home win over title chasing Girona last weekend in La Liga. The only goal of the game was scored in the 33rd minute and Mallorca did well to keep out a good attacking team.
The win over Girona means Mallorca are undefeated in 5 of their 6 most recent fixtures in all competitions.
There have been wins over Rayo Vallecano at home in La Liga and a penalty shootout victory over Real Sociedad in the Copa del Rey semi-final following a 1-1 draw. Mallorca also picked up a point thanks to a 1-1 draw in the league at Alaves.
The stats show Mallorca have won only 2 of their 9 most recent La Liga matches. Their form on the road is poor and Mallorca have won only 5 of their last 32 away games in all competitions. Mallorca have failed to win any of their last 10 away La Liga fixtures.
Team news: Barcelona are without suspended defender Ronald Araujo. Frenkie De Jong, Pedri, Álex Balde, and Marcos Alonso are injured plus there are doubts over the fitness of Ferran Torres.
Mallorca make the trip without suspended midfielder Omar Mascarell. Pablo Maffeo is unavailable due to a knee injury.
Barcelona know that anything other than a win in this game will be costly as they chase Real Madrid. Mallorca have been struggling for goals on the road in La Liga and this should be a comfortable victory for Barcelona, keeping a clean sheet in the process.
