Real Sociedad vs. Mallorca Information
Real Sociedad
Real Sociedad are having a tremendous season in La Liga. Imanol Alguacil’s troops are riding high in third at present, with just Barcelona and Real Madrid above them in the current standings.
The Real Sociedad stats this season have been exceptional. They finished in sixth last term, and the White and Blues have improved and kicked on this season. Sociedad have picked up 11 wins from 17 league matches, drawing two and losing four of the other six. They are three points behind Real Madrid and six adrift of leaders Barcelona in the title race.
Sociedad’s form since November has been stunning. Since suffering back-to-back La Liga and UEFA Europa League losses to Real Betis and Manchester United, they are unbeaten in eight league and cup games.
Real have won seven league and cup fixtures in a row, seeing off the likes of Sevilla, Osasuna, and Athletic Bilbao. Since that league loss to Betis, Sociedad have taken 13 points from a possible 15 in La Liga.
This will be Sociedad’s first home fixture in the Copa del Rey this season. In game one, they eased to a 4-1 win at Cazalegas before thumping Coria 5-1 on the road. The Royal then edged past Logrones in the Round of 32. Robert Navarro getting the only goal of the game.

Mallorca are also having a fine season in the league. They finished in 16th place last term and narrowly avoided the drop, but the Pirates are eyeing up a top-half finish this time around.
Right now, Javier Aguirre’s men sit tenth in La Liga, racking up a respectable 22 points from 17 games. Mallorca have won six, drawn four and lost seven up until now.
The Vermilions have also had three away games in this season’s Copa del Rey. In their first, Angel Rodriguez bagged a brace in a 6-0 victory at Autol. They then won 1-0 at Real Union and 2-0 at Pontevedra.
These two have already met this season. In a league game at Anoeta back in October, Real Sociedad picked up a narrow 1-0 victory, with Mikel Merino’s fourth-minute strike doing the business for the home side.
Sociedad have a great recent record in this fixture. Picking up six wins on the trot without conceding a single goal. Over ten years have passed since Mallorca’s last victory over Sociedad.
