Real Sociedad vs Mallorca prediction: SPAIN: LaLiga betting tips on match 2025-04-11 12:00.
[p]Fresh off the back of consecutive La Liga wins for the first time since December 2024, Real Sociedad now have an outside shot at finishing in the European places. The last time they failed to finish inside the top six was in 2018/19, but if they fail to make it three straight league victories for the first time since March last year, then their chances are likely to take a huge hit.[/p]
[p]The Basque side’s form on their own turf has been average, with no top-half side recording as many as their six home league defeats this season (W7, D2). In spite of that negative statistic, only four La Liga sides have conceded fewer home goals than Real Sociedadās 15, and with eight of their last ten home league victories arriving with an accompanying shut out, it seems keeping a clean sheet could be key to their hopes.Ā [/p]
[p]Real Sociedad also kept a clean sheet in each of their last seven H2H home league victories over their opponents hereĀ Mallorca, which forms part of a ten-game winning home league H2H run stretching back to 2003. Mallorca did beat the Basque side 1-0 in the reverse fixture this season, so should arrive with hope despite failing to record a win from their last seven games played away from the island (D2, L5) – their worst such streak since April 2023.Ā [/p]
[p]Their season is now in danger of fizzling out, which is a huge disappointment considering Mallorca reached the heights of the La Liga top six at the back-end of last year. That raised hopes of a first top-six La Liga finish since 2009/10, but now those hopes have been all but extinguished, finishing on a high is the priority for Mallorca.[/p]
[p]Players to watch: Sergio GĆ³mez has scored in consecutive La Liga appearances after failing to net in his previous 56 matches in the competition. Itās a similar tale for Mallorcaās Martin Valjent too, whose goal in his sideās defeat last time out marked his second in five games after never scoring in the competition beforehand!Ā [/p]
[p]Hot stat: Real Sociedad have kept a first-half clean sheet in 12 of their 15 home league games this season.[/p]
