Real Sociedad’s faltering European charge will see them go to a historically tricky Mallorca in the Spanish La Liga this weekend. This matchday 25 will be played at the Mallorca Son Moix on Sunday. Before the weekend games commenced, the hosts are 16th with 23 points and the visitors are 7th with 37 points. With a six-point gap over the bottom-three, there’s no danger of getting dragged into the relegation zone, but Mallorca have a mandate to improve their recent results. They did win 2-1 against Rayo Vallecano last time out, halting a five-match winless sequence, but they haven’t been able to post consecutive La Liga wins this season. It’s a different scenario at home where teams have struggled to go past Mallorca. The hosts have lost only one of their last 11 home league games, although seven of those have ended in draws.

Sociedad are just a point behind sixth-placed Real Betis and would be desperate to remain in that hunt for European qualification. Yet, recent form hasn’t been their ally as results have been adverse in recent times. A 1-0 loss to Osasuna extended their winless run to three games, as they drew the two games prior to this defeat. In fact, with only one win from their last eight league games, the visitors aren’t helping their European qualification charge. They still remain one of the best defensive sides of the division though, with only 22 goals conceded in the league this year. That should work to their advantage, although results on the road haven’t been encouraging. Sociedad have won just three of their last nine away league games, a run that saw them draw four matches.
