The league table in La Liga tells a story about these teams so far, with Real Sociedad leading Mallorca by 13 points. Match preview to follow:
These are busy days for the home team, as they were in action only four days ago in the Copa Del Rey. This match was also played here at Estadio Municipal de Anoeta. With two consecutive home games the intense schedule is somewhat softened. Still, Mallorca have had more rest.
Mallorca have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1000 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

Real Sociedad have collected 14 points from their La Liga home games so far after 4-2-3.
Real Sociedad's previous game was a Copa Del Rey match also played at home, ending 2-0 versus Espanyol (placed 19th). The home side are looking to build on that result. Prior to that, an away loss at Real Betis in the La Liga.
There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for Real Sociedad, as the Copa Del Rey home game vs Osasuna is only one day away.

Mallorca form and stats
Mallorca have only collected 1 point from their away games in the La Liga, after 0-1-8 (9 played). Travelling has not been lucrative for the away team as they have returned home without a win in 14 away games in a row.
Mallorca play their second straight away game, having lost the previous one 1-3 to Real Zaragoza. That result followed a home victory 4-1 versus Valencia in the La Liga.
The attacking power of Mallorca when travelling is not overwhelming with 7 goals scored from 9 league matches away. The Mallorca manager V. Moreno Peris has some worries about the defense as 22 goals have been conceded in these travels.
