Mallorca vs Real Sociedad Prediction 12.03.2023

• Competition: LaLiga
• Date: 12th March 2023
• Time: 13:00 UTC / 14:00 CET
• Venue: Visit Mallorca Estadi (Palma de Mallorca)

Mallorca is currently 10th placed in the La Liga table with 31 points won. However, realistically, this is a team of rather modest quality, which is there due to a combination of fortunate circumstances but also due to the somewhat weaker performance of the other clubs. It is to be expected that they will experience a drop in the standings by the end of the season, and it is not impossible that they enter the fight for survival. Mallorca has already slowly started to falter and in the last 4 matches, they have been defeated even 3 times. The last home defeat against last-placed Elche was particularly painful.

On the other hand, Real Sociedad has been playing an excellent season, with real chances to qualify for the Champions League after 10 long years. They also have been in a slump in recent weeks, but they still hold the 4th position in the table with 44 points won, 3 more than the closest follower Betis. Sociedad also disappointed its fans in the last match after playing without goals against Cadiz. The home team had as many as 15 attempts at the opponent's goal, but the ball simply did not want to go into the opponent's net. In the meantime, the 1/8 finals match of the Europa League against Roma awaits them, so a possible victory in that match would give the team a much-needed dose of self-confidence for the continuation of the season.

Mallorca vs Real Sociedad pick: REAL SOCIEDAD TO WIN

For me, there is no doubt that Real Sociedad is a better team than Mallorca, at least in terms of class. Mallorca has started slowing down in recent weeks. The big problem of this team is inefficiency, and the defense is not as good as at the beginning of the season. They failed to keep a clean sheet in the last 4 matches, and that is simply not the way this team can win points. There is a small question mark about the physical exhaustion of the Real Sociedad players after the match against Roma, but if they play close to their maximum potential, I believe that they will achieve a routine victory in this away game.
