Real Sociedad vs Mallorca Analysis
Real Sociedad Preview
There will be pressure on the home side for this second leg in the Copa del Rey this week, as Real Sociedad will be widely expected to book their spot in the domestic cup final. Sociedad previously reached the final of the competition in 2019-20, as they landed a second honor in the tournament.
However, the soccer statistics show that they don’t come into this second leg in good form after losing two of their last three in La Liga. That has seen them drop to seventh in the La Liga standings, and they are now 12 points off the Champions League spots. But, their overall record against Mallorca is very impressive after winning nine of the last eleven matches between the sides.
Real Sociedad Projected Lineup:
(4-1-4-1) Reina, Traore, Le Normand, Pacheco, Galan, Zubimendi, Kubo, Mendez, Parejo, Barrenetxea, Silva
Real Sociedad Injuries:
Mikel Oyarzabal is a doubt for this second leg for the home side, while Aihen Munoz and Carlos Fernandez are longer-term absences.
Mallorca Preview
The Real Sociedad vs Mallorca odds will give the visiting side little chance of reaching the final this week. However, they have been no strangers to defying the odds in this competition after famously winning the Copa del Rey in 2003. They have also reached the final of the tournament on two previous occasions, with their latest losing effort in the showpiece coming in 1998.
There is a sense that RCD Mallorca may have blown their best chance of reaching the final after failing to make the breakthrough in their home first leg. There’s little to show based on their recent form in Spain, as they come into this second leg after losing three of their last five. Over that period, they have picked up just one win, and they are without a victory in their last two fixtures, which has seen them drop to within six points of the relegation spots.
Mallorca Projected Lineup:
(5-4-1) Rajkovic, Vidal, Vaijent, Nastasic, Copete, Lato, Darder, Morlanes, Mascareil, Radonjic, Muriqi
Mallorca Injuries:
Pablo Maffeo is the only injury concern for Mallorca this week. There’s no expectation for the full-back to return until mid-March.
Real Sociedad vs Mallorca Pick and Prediction
It would be safe to assume that Mallorca spurned their golden opportunity in the opening leg after having a home advantage. Sociedad’s recent run has been below the standard required, but they still possess the attacking players that could cause issues. Therefore, we expect the home side to progress through to the final.
- Pick: Real Sociedad (-165)
