FC Barcelona vs Real Mallorca - 01/05/2022

2525

The penultimate fixture in La Liga on the weekend takes place on Sunday the 1st of May as Barcelona welcome RCD Mallorca to the Camp Nou.

The hosts being this round of fixtures in 2nd place on 63 points while the visitors are down in 16th place on 32 points, meaning this game has significance for both ends of the table.

Barcelona come into the match on the back of a disappointing 1-0 defeat at home against Rayo Vallecano. The only goal of the game was scored in the 7th minute and Barcelona could not find a way back into the game despite having the majority of the match to score.

That result means Barcelona have lost 3 of their last 4 fixtures in all competitions. All 3 of the defeats have come at home and in addition to the recent loss against Rayo Vallecano there have been defeats to Cadiz in La Liga and Eintracht Frankfurt in the Europa League.

However, trends show in their last 27 games in all competitions, Barcelona have recorded 24 undefeated encounters.

They have not been conceding many goals when playing at home in La Liga recently, keeping 3 clean sheets in their last 5 home league matches and conceding only 2 goals across those 5 games.

In Barcelona's last 3 games in all competitions there have been under 2.5 goals scored and that includes each of their last 3 home league games.

RCD Mallorca make the trip to the Camp Nou having picked up a crucial 3 points last weekend thanks to a 2-1 home win over Alaves.

RCD Mallorca scored at the beginning of both halves and managed to hold on for all 3 points having conceded a goal in the 73rd minute.

That was the second win in 3 games for RCD Mallorca having previously defeated Atletico Madrid 1-0 at home, which was an excellent result.

However, their away form is poor and trends show RCD Mallorca have lost each of their last 8 away La Liga fixtures. They have recorded just 1 win from their last 15 league games on the road, which is poor.

RCD Mallorca have been struggling to score goals when playing away and have failed to find the back of the net in each of their last 3 away La Liga matches.

Team news and Barcelona are without the injured trio of Sergino Dest, Pedri, and Moussa Wagué.

RCD Mallorca travel without Vedat Muriqi, who is suspended. Jaume Costa, Aleksandar Sedlar, and Dominik Greif are all injured.

Barcelona have been struggling at home in recent matches but RCD Mallorca have been terrible when playing away. That suggests we should see a home win and Barcelona could come out on top by keeping clean sheet.

However, we do not expect to see Barcelona running away with it and there could be under 2.5 goals scored.
