There should be a significant difference in quality between these teams based on table positions so far, with Barcelona leading Mallorca by 17 points.

It's no vacation for neither Barcelona nor Mallorca as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.

Everyone involved with the away team has to get their travel gear ready for this match as there's a whopping 1100 kilometers to cover before arriving at the match.

Barcelona form and stats

This stadium, Camp Nou, has been a fortress for Barcelona in the La Liga so far this season with the win-draw-loss statistic 6-0-0. With a nice streak brewing from their home games, Barcelona are also looking for their fifth consecutive victory regardless of location.

Barcelona's previous game was a La Liga match also played at home, ending 5-2 versus Mallorca (placed 17th). The home side are looking to build on that result. Before that match, a win away at Atlético Madrid.

A goal frenzy last time out for Barcelona, with a total of 7 goals in the match against Mallorca. Fun stuff to watch! Lionel Messi was absolutely essential when Barcelona beat Mallorca 5-2, scoring 3 goals.

Everyone expects Barcelona to win this match. We have checked our database for matches where they have been as big a favourite and found 16 games: 13 home wins, 2 draws and 1 defeat. Barcelona have won with at least two goals margin 12 times in similar situations.

Barcelona always seem capable of creating a buzz here at Camp Nou with 25 goals in 6 league games. 7 goals have been conceded.

Mallorca form and stats

There's been little loot from Mallorca's travels as they have only collected 0 points from 6 away games in the La Liga. Mallorca only have 0 wins to counter their 6 defeats and 0 draws. Mallorca are still without points from their La Liga away games. 6 games, 6 defeats. Travelling has not been lucrative for the away team as they have returned home without a win in twelve away games in a row. Recent form does not give Mallorca much hope, as the visitors have lost three games in a row. Barcelona will be a tough nut to crack.

It might be tough going out on the road again for Mallorca, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 2-5 versus Barcelona (placed 1st). A 1-2 loss hosting Real Betis before that.

A crazy, crazy match with lots of goals last time out for Mallorca, as mentioned above. 7 goals in that one, will this match be as much fun? Mallorca goalkeeper Manolo Reina had a great day against Barcelona, but despite making 12 saves the loss could not be avoided.

Mallorca are huge outsiders in this game. Running a check in our games database we found eleven matches where they were as big outsiders as an away team. Results were 2 wins, 4 draws and 5 defeats. Of the defeats, 1 game were lost by at least two goals margin.

Mallorca are seemingly not capable of scoring regularly on their travels in the league. They have only managed 3 goals from 6 away games. For Mallorca, more than two goals on average per game end up in their own net.

Head 2 Head

H2H stats regardless of arena (last ten matches): Barcelona 7 wins, 2 draws and Mallorca 1 victory. As for goals, 6 matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), 4 games had two or less.
