Our prediction for the match Mallorca vs Real Sociedad
"Los Bermellones" continued under the guidance of Javier Aguirre last season. The experienced Mexican coach led his team to the Copa del Rey final, matching their best-ever result. However, in the final, Athletic Bilbao triumphed, albeit only after a penalty shootout. In La Liga, Mallorca saw a significant drop, falling from ninth place to fifteenth, though they were never in serious danger of relegation. On the other hand, Real Sociedad, having finished fourth in the previous campaign, returned to the Champions League and even advanced to the knockout stages. However, domestically, they slipped to sixth place, as Girona and Athletic overtook them.
Imanol Alguacil now faces the challenge of replacing key players like Le Normand and Merino, though he has plenty of new signings to work with, including Sučić, Aguerd, Sergio Gómez, and Óskarsson. Meanwhile, Mallorca welcomed Jagoba Arrasate, who had performed well with Osasuna. He didn’t inherit several key players, such as Nastasić, Radonjić, and Rajković, but he has his own reinforcements—Morey, Doménech, Robert Navarro, and late signings Valery Fernández and Chiquinho Oliveira.
Jagoba's side started by taking points off Real Madrid in a 1-1 draw. However, they then suffered a narrow defeat to Osasuna and were held to a goalless draw by Sevilla. Their only win came against newly-promoted Leganés, with Dani Rodríguez scoring the decisive goal. Against Villarreal, they seemed to have secured a draw, only to concede to Ayoze Pérez in the dying moments. As for Real Sociedad, they began their season with a home defeat to Rayo Vallecano, which was followed by a similar 1-2 loss at home to Alavés. However, on the road, they managed a 1-0 win over Espanyol and a 0-0 draw with Getafe. At home against Real Madrid, they put up a fight but squandered their chances, and in the second half, their opponents converted two penalties.
