Barcelona will welcome Mallorca to Estadi Olimpic Lluis Companys on Friday night for a one-on-one clash in La Liga, with kickoff slated for 20:00 GMT.
Key Highlights
Barcelona Are Looking to Bounce Back to Winning Ways After Draw At San Mames Last Time Out
Barcelona are unbeaten in their last five outings in La Liga. In this run, they have won three times and drawn twice, collecting 11 points out of the available 15.
Xavi Hernandez will look to get his side back to winning ways after they missed the opportunity to jump into second in La Liga when they were held to a barren draw at Sam Mames against Athletic Club.
Barcelona will focus on getting the three points at home as they aim to mount a late tilt for the title as they bid to cut the eight-point lead to Real Madrid at the top of the table.
Mallorca Looking to Make It Three Matches Without Defeat in La Liga
Mallorca have sought to turn their inconsistent form around, as they have gone two matches without a defeat, a draw, and a win. In their last five La Liga assignments, they have won twice, drawn once, and lost two times, collecting 7 points out of the available 15.
Mallorca’s form this season, in 27 outings, has resulted in 5 wins and 12 draws. They collected 27 points and sit 15th on the table, eight points off the bottom three.
They will look to sustain their upturn in form as they bid to keep a significant distance from the relegation zone and move toward the midtable.
