Including the UEFA Europa League, Real Sociedad has four straight games without winning. On the other hand, Mallorca only won one of their last four games in La Liga. Another loss and it could fall out of the top 10. That and playing at home makes them a tempting soccer betting underdog, especially at +240.
Mallorca: Stronger at Home
Last week, Mallorca was the betting online favorite to defeat Elche at home. Nevertheless, the club lost 1-0 despite winning possession with 56% and finishing with 14 shots, three on goal.
That was its fourth loss at home, and I know it sounds bad, but Mallorca has won three more games at home than on the road. Plus, it scored in seven of its last 10 games at Iberostar. Defensively, it finished with a clean sheet five times. I’m telling you, winning in Mallorca isn’t that easy; just ask Real Madrid. Two months ago, Los Blancos lost 1-0.
While losing could make Mallorca fall out of the top 10, a victory could boost it to eighth place, only three points behind fifth. Finishing in the top six and qualifying for a UEFA competition would be like winning the title for this club.
Vedat Muriqi will be crucial for the home side to put up a good fight. He’s the team’s top scorer with 10 goals. Overall, only three other players have scored more goals than him, and none play for Real Sociedad.
Mallorca is listed in the Las Vegas odds at +240 to win straight up.
Real Sociedad: No Goals
Besides not winning any of its last four games in all competitions, Real Sociedad failed to score in the last three. Most recently, it lost 2-0 to AS Roma in the first leg of the Round of 16 of the UEL. Real Sociedad won possession with 60% but finished with only one shot on goal.
Real Sociedad has been considerably better when playing on the road, with an 8-1-3 record. On the other hand, it is 5-4-3 when playing at home. Defensively, it finished with a clean sheet in three of its last five road games in La Liga, including a goalless draw at Santiago Bernabeu.
Alexander Sorloth has scored nine goals for Real Sociedad. The club also has Brais Mendez, who has scored seven and Mikel Merino, who leads the team in assists with seven. Only Antoine Griezmann from Atletico Madrid has more with eight.
Regarding the soccer odds, Real Sociedad is offering a +145 price. Not bad for a team that could climb up to the third place with a victory.
