Real Sociedad vs Mallorca Prediction & Expert Tips

Real Sociedad vs Mallorca Match Preview

Real Sociedad have endured a tough start to the campaign, failing to win any of their opening five league matches. With three defeats and two draws, their form paints a picture of inconsistency at both ends of the pitch.

Their most recent outings include a 3–1 defeat at Real Betis and a 1–2 home loss against Real Madrid, though they did show glimpses of fight with a 2–2 draw against Espanyol earlier in the month.

Sociedad have scored five goals but conceded nine, leaving them in desperate need of stability. While their attack can create chances, but defensive gaps continue to cost them points.

Mallorca, on the other hand, are also chasing their first victory of the season, with a record of three defeats and two draws from their opening fixtures. They have been slightly more competitive in their recent matches, managing back-to-back 1–1 draws against Atletico Madrid and Celta Vigo.

However, losses to Espanyol (3–2) and Real Madrid (2–1) underline how they often fall just short in tight contests. With five goals scored and ten conceded, Mallorca’s profile is strikingly similar to Sociedad’s: both are finding the net, but neither can keep opponents at bay.

The head-to-head record leans towards Mallorca in recent years. They have won two of the last three meetings, including a 2–0 away success in April 2025 and a narrow 1–0 home victory last September.

Even cup matches between these two sides have been closely fought, such as the 1–1 draw in February 2024 decided only by penalties. Low-scoring games are common, but both sides have shown enough attacking sparks to keep this encounter unpredictable.

Real Sociedad vs Mallorca Prediction

With both teams winless and struggling at the back, this match has the hallmarks of a cagey yet goal-scoring affair. Given Sociedad’s leaky defence and Mallorca’s tendency to find at least one goal in recent matches, Both Teams to Score (2.00 odds) looks well justified.

A repeat of recent patterns suggests a tight contest with little to separate them. With Mallorca’s last two outings ending level and Sociedad also recording two draws already, the 1–1 full-time scoreline (6.50 odds) emerges as a strong value angle. Both teams may cancel each other out, leaving another shared point on the table.
