Barcelona take on Mallorca in a fixture that falls between cup commitments, and is their last league game before they travel away to Girona on February 16. Thanks to securing their place in the Champions League quarter-final, Barca have a bit more time off then they would have if they finished outside the top eight.
Mallorca, meanwhile, come into this game having won two of their last three matches. However, both victories came at home, and they are one of the league’s weakest away sides so far (W1, D2, L8). Arrasate’s team are currently 14th and will be looking to consolidate their mid-table position and continue to build.
Predictions for Barcelona v Mallorca
Barça to score between 1 and 4 goals and score in the second half – 1/2 @ bet365
Barça to win with a total of 2 to 4 goals in the match – 6/5 @ bet365
Under 12 corners – 1/2 @ bet365
Barça to score, including after the break
Barça are LaLiga EA Sports’ top scorers by some margin, having found the net in every league game so far. Across all competitions, the only match where they failed to score was the 3-0 defeat at Stamford Bridge against Chelsea. Since that tough night in London, Barcelona have scored in the second half of all 15 official matches they’ve played. Given the busy fixture list, we expect Barcelona to manage their squad and energy levels, so a five-goal thrashing seems unlikely. The reverse fixture (0-3, with a second-half goal) fit this prediction perfectly.
Tip: Barça to score between 1 and 4 goals and score in the second half – 1/2 @ bet365
Bet Explanation: This bet wins if Barça score at least one, but no more than four goals, and at least one of their goals comes after the break.
Under 5 total goals with a Barça win
This combination is a little gem we’ve found by exploring the options and picking out the most favourable ones. Barcelona have won all their home league games (W10), all of which have seen at least two goals, and all but one (the 6-0 against Valencia) have had fewer than 4.5 goals. Of Mallorca’s 11 away games, nine have had two or more goals and only one has seen five or more. Four of the last six meetings between these sides would also have landed this bet.
Tip: Barça to win with a total of 2 to 4 goals in the match – 6/5 @ bet365
Bet Explanation: This bet wins if Barcelona wins the match and the match features more than one but fewer than five goals in total.
Not reaching a dozen corners
Barça tend to dominate their matches, but they’re not a team that relies heavily on corners. Seven of their last nine official games have seen fewer than 12 corners, despite the attacking play that usually characterises their matches. The same stat applies to eight of Mallorca’s last 12 official games. Four of the last five meetings between these two sides have also seen under 12 corners.
Tip: Under 12 corners – 1/2 @ bet365
Bet Explanation: This bet wins if the match finishes with fewer than 12 corners in total.
