Prediction published on 24/09/2023, 15:16  by Kennedy Kechula in LaLiga Predictions

Mallorca will be at home on Tuesday against Barcelona in round seven of the Spanish La Liga. The two teams have had contrasting starts to the season with Barcelona currently top of the table while Mallorca are down in 15th. Mallorca have had a slow start to the season and have managed only one win from six games. They have drawn another two matches while the remaining three have ended in defeat. This has left them just two points above the drop zone. Javier Aguirre’s men were defeated 5-3 away to Girona on Saturday. That defeat ended a two-match unbeaten run and came after a 1-0 victory away at Celta Vigo. Los Piratas haven’t won or scored a goal in their two matches at home this season.

Barcelona haven’t lost against Mallorca in 14 years. They have won 13 of the 14 matches in this period including the last 11. This sublime record coupled with their superb start to the season should have the visitors confident of another win here. The Catalans are one of three teams yet to lose a match this season. They have won five of their six matches and currently top the standings by goal difference. Xavi Hernandez’s men are tied on 16 points with Girona and are a point above third-placed Real Madrid. They could however drop to second if Madrid win their game in hand against Atletico Madrid on Sunday. Barcelona have won six straight games with the latest being a 3-2 success against Celta Vigo. The Blaugrana had to come from behind to secure all three points against Celta at home on Saturday.
