🏟 Estadi Mallorca Son Moix (Palma de Mallorca)

Mallorca suffered a tough defeat over the weekend despite their determined performance against Villarreal. Ayoze Pérez's late goal led to a 2-1 loss, leaving Mallorca with just one win in their first five matches (D2, L2). This continues a troubling trend from last season, where they finished 15th and struggled to find the net, scoring only three goals from 57 attempts this season. Their poor record against Real Sociedad, with seven scoreless games in their last nine league encounters (D1, L8), suggests another challenging game ahead.

Real Sociedad, meanwhile, is experiencing a three-match winless streak (D1, L2) and is under pressure after a 2-0 defeat to Real Madrid. With only four points from five games (W1, D1, L3), they have their joint-lowest La Liga return at this stage since 2006/07, a season that saw them relegated. However, their recent away form shows promise, with four wins in their last seven away league games (D2, L1), which might boost their confidence for this match.

Players to watch: Mallorca’s Martin Valjent has a poor record against Real Sociedad, with seven losses in nine encounters (W1, D1). For Real Sociedad, Luka Sučić, who came close to scoring against Madrid, will be key, as he has been instrumental in the victories when he scores.
