Mallorca vs Real Sociedad predictions and betting tips on March 12, 2023



On March 12, Visit Mallorca Stadium (Palma de Mallorca) will host the match of the 25th round of the La Liga, in which Mallorca will compete with Real Sociedad. The battle will start at 15:00 CET.
Mallorca
The team was able to move away from its unspoken status of a “football elevator” season before. It was the merit of Javier Aguirre, who led the project during the previous temporada in an almost hopeless situation, and got enough points to prevent another fall into the Segunda. The new draw turns out to be quite successful for “the Islanders” – they are staying in the middle of the table, at a comfortable distance from the top 3 outsiders. Perhaps, “the Los Bermellones” began to slow down since February. It is reasonable to mention that, after losing in the away matches, the club took the maximum at the own arena – in the battles with Celta, Villarreal and Real Madrid. Still, Mallorca started the spring with a home 0-1 defeat made by a hopeless outsider, Elche!
Real Sociedad
The club is now starting a struggle on two fronts. On Thursday, it began the Europa League knock-out stage with a 0-2 score in the battle against Roma in Italy. To be honest, the fans have expected that this particular tournament would become a priority for “the Txuri-urdin”. After all, the higher mentioned European contest can finally allow going to the Champions League. Indeed, the team from San Sebastian, unfortunately, seems to be repeating the same unpleasant Primera scenario. The club, which had confidently stayed in the quartet of leaders, began to lose points regularly since the end of January. It won only the battle against Espanyol – that game resulted in a 3-2 success, which was pretty hard, taking into account the draw not only with Real Madrid, but also with Celta and even Cadiz. Moreover, Valladolid and Valencia, the fighters for survival, beat the team completely. So far, it has been possible to maintain the 4th place, but the trend cannot but cause concern – there is a need to improve the game, but no one knows how?
The statistics of head-to-head matches
All 7 previous head-to-head matches were won by Real Sociedad. Speaking about the current season, there have already been two 1-0 victories – in the Primera and in the Copa del Rey.
Predictions
Bookmakers are sympathetic to the guests. Still, they have shown a weak shape in recent weeks, and even months. Thus, we bet that Mallorca will not lose at home arena (odd: 1.6).
