Real Sociedad got the better of Celta Vigo courtesy of goals from Asier Illarramendi and Igor Zubeldia. It was the White and Blues’ sixth league win of the campaign. Since losing 2-1 to Getafe early in September, Imano Alguacil’s men have been in stunning form, winning each of their next seven games across all competitions. Mallorca, on the other hand, have registered just two La Liga wins this season. In their last match against Sevilla at home, Nemanja Gudelj’s 53rd-minute strike separated the two sides. It was the Pirates’ fourth league-defeat of the season.
Sociedad full-back Aihen Munoz picked up a thigh injury in the last match and is unlikely to be available for Wednesday’s game. Meanwhile Alex Sola is also doubtful for the game against Mallorca. Apart from the two full-back’s, Mohamed-Ali Cho, Mikel Oyarzabal and Umar Sadiq are occupying the medical room. As for Mallorca, left-back Jaume Costa is nursing an injury. Therefore, Brian Cufre is in line to start on the left of the back-five. Lee is expected to partner Rodriguez up front.
Real Sociedad probable starting lineup: Remiro, Rico, Le Normand, Zubeldia, Gorosabel, Merino, Zubimendi, Kubo, Silva, Mendez, Sorloth
Mallorca probable starting lineup: Rajkovic, Cufre, Copete, Raillo, Valjent, Maffeo, De Galerreta, Baba, Sanchez, Lee, Rodriguez
