Barcelona faces squad concerns after injuries to key players De Jong and Pedri following a goalless draw against Athletic Bilbao. With a crucial UEFA Champions League second leg against Napoli approaching, manager Xavi must balance the squad effectively.

A win against Mallorca would boost momentum, although Barcelona’s home form has been shaky recently, with only three wins in their last six La Liga games at Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys.

Mallorca, despite being 15th, have shown glimpses of quality, securing a Copa del Rey semi-final win over Real Sociedad and defeating second-placed Girona in the league. However, their away form remains a concern, with no wins in their last ten away league matches.

The reverse fixture against Barcelona ended in a 2-2 draw, but Mallorca’s scoring record on the road has been poor, managing just two goals in their last eight La Liga away games.

Watch out for Robert Lewandowski’s second-half prowess at home for Barcelona, while Mallorca’s Abdón Prats has a knack for scoring late goals. Mallorca’s tendency to receive the first card in matches could play a role.

With Barcelona aiming to climb to second in La Liga, and Mallorca seeking to improve their away record, the stage is set for an intriguing encounter. In the video below, check out the last match between these two clubs. Hopefully, the upcoming duel will be even more exciting than the previous.
