Mallorca vs Barcelona Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds
The Catalan Giants are winless in their last three games.
LaLiga leaders FC Barcelona will take a trip to Mallorca with a clear intention of securing nothing less than three points. The Catalan Giants are winless in their last three games, including a shambolic defeat to Las Palmas on their 125th Anniversary. Barca have dropped crucial points and have given arch-rivals Real Madrid an opportunity to take control of the league. They will be desperate for a win coming into this game as pressure piles up on Hansi Flick and his men.
Mallorca on the other hand have given a good account of themselves this season. They are enjoying their best-ever start in the Spanish top flight after ages and will not want to mess it up from here on. They sit comfortably in the top five with their best performances being a 1-1 draw against Real Madrid in their league opener. The Pirates have won their last two games coming into this fixture and will be eyeing a third come Tuesday.

Players to watch
Dani Rodríguez (Mallorca)
Dani Rodriguez has been one of the most impactful players for Mallorca this season. Even at the age of 36, he has hardly shown any signs of slowing down and has continued to ring in good and consistent performances. His playmaking skills coupled with his ball distribution and vision make him a threat for any opposition. The midfielder is one of the most influential players in his side and has established himself as one of the leaders in the team.
Raphinha (FC Barcelona)
The Brazilian midfielder has stood tall against the odds and has silenced all his critics with his extraordinary displays on the pitch. He has led the Blaugrana from the front and has gone on to become one of the favourites among the supporters. Raphinha’s out-of-the-world vision combined with his work rate and tactical awareness makes him one of Hansi Flick’s most important cards. He has racked up 22 goal contributions across all competitions.
