Real Sociedad return to La Liga action following the international break on Saturday, as they look to get back to winning ways. The Spanish giants will welcome Mallorca to town, with the visitors looking to end a run of three straight draws.
La Liga Preview
It has been a decent enough start to the new La Liga season for Real Sociedad, but they will need to discover the same consistency as they boasted last term if they are to challenge for a Champions League spot. Sociedad have won three of their previous four in the competition, but they will be looking to get back on track after falling to defeat before the international break.
Sociedad were unfortunate to fall to defeat in their most recent fixture in La Liga, as they scored late to tie the scores at 1-1. However, Atletico scored a dramatic penalty in the final minute of normal time to secure maximum points. The Spanish side more than held their own in that fixture, as they dominated the possession, and created the clear-cut scoring opportunities.
Mallorca will come into this first match following the international break with a point to prove, as they have gone four without a win in La Liga. However, they have been more tricky to beat over the last month, as they come into this fixture having been held to draws in each of their previous three fixtures in the league.
Despite that, Mallorca sit just 15th in the league standings, and they could potentially drop into the relegation places if results go against them this weekend. The Spanish side played out a 1-1 draw against Valencia in their most recent fixture, with Dani Rodrigues finding the net for the hosts.
Real Sociedad vs Mallorca Head to Head
Sociedad have an excellent recent record against Mallorca, as they have gone seven without defeat against their rivals. Over that period, they have picked up six wins, including victories in each of their last six with home advantage. The most recent clash in March saw the points shared following a 1-1 draw.
Real Sociedad vs Mallorca Prediction
Sociedad’s record in this fixture is extremely challenging to overlook when it comes to assessing the most likely winner on Saturday. Therefore, we will be siding with the home side landing maximum points in front of their own fans in La Liga.
