The La Liga match between Barcelona and Mallorca will take place at Estadi Olimpic Lluis Companys on Saturday at 1:30 am IST.
Barcelona will try to get back to winning in La Liga as they host Mallorca at Estadi Olimpic Lluis Companys on Friday evening. Barcelona is third in the league, eight points behind Real Madrid, who are in first place. Mallorca is in 15th place, eight points above the relegation zone.
Barcelona continued their unbeaten streak by drawing 0-0 against Athletic Bilbao, reaching 58 points in La Liga this season. They’re third in the league, trailing second-placed Girona by one point and Real Madrid by eight points with 11 games left, keeping their title hopes alive. Since Xavi announced his departure as head coach in January, Barcelona has won four and drawn two of their last six league matches. They will face Napoli in the Champions League after this match. Despite three league losses at their temporary home, they have a strong record against Mallorca, winning 11 of their last 12 meetings, including a 3-0 win last season.
Mallorca managed to hold Barcelona to a 2-2 draw earlier this season and comes into this match with two consecutive wins. They secured their spot in the Copa del Rey final by defeating Real Sociedad on penalties and won 1-0 against Girona in their last league game. Mallorca has 27 points from 27 games, placing them 15th in the table, eight points clear of relegation and just two points behind 13th-placed Alaves. However, their away form has been poor, with only eight points from 13 matches. Their only away league win this season was against Celta Vigo in September. Despite this, they aim to climb up the table rather than worry about relegation.
Barcelona probable starting lineup: Ter Stegen, Kounde, Cubarsi, I Martinez, Cancelo, Gundogan, Christensen, F Lopez, Yamal, Lewandowski, Raphinha
Mallorca probable starting lineup: Rajkovic, Gonzalez, Valjent, Raillo, Copete, Lato, A Sanchez, S Costa, D Rodriguez, Muriqi, Larin
