Real Sociedad, Recent FormThe Real Sociedad squad will be suffering from a feeling of disappointment after falling to a 2-1 away defeat against Atletico Madrid, which saw them drop all three points and come away from the game empty-handed. They achieved 63% possession in that match and had 13 strikes at goal, with 4 hitting the target, up against Atletico Madrid's tally of 14 efforts at goal, 5 of which were on target.
Their boss Imanol Alguacil has every reason to be happy with his side's attacking prowess of late, which has seen them net 15 goals in their last 6 matches; however, they may have some work to do in defence with 10 goals conceded across those matches. They have only kept 1 clean sheet in their last 6 home games.
Their strong run of form at home now gives them an unbeaten streak of 14 games in a row.
On an individual basis, Takefusa Kubo will be looking to get on the scoresheet again at Reale Arena having scored 5 goals in Real Sociedad's last 6 home games in the league.
Mallorca, Recent FormA point gained from their 1-1 draw against Valencia in their previous encounter will not be considered a bad outcome for Mallorca. In that game they had 49% possession and managed 9 attempts on goal, with 5 on target, compared to Valencia who had 11 attempts and 3 on target.
It seems pretty certain that Javier Aguirre will be quite pleased with his squad's ability to score goals in recent matches, having managed 9 goals in their past 6 outings. In contrast, however, he will be concerned that their defensive qualities look a little more fragile, with 10 goals conceded in those matches and some crucial points dropped. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 away games but failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of those games.
They've drawn their last 3 games, but their search for a win in a league game extends even further with 4 consecutive games without a win.
Goalscorer Abdón Prats will be planning to get himself on the scoresheet once more, having notched up 4 goals in his last 6 league matches for Mallorca.
In the previous encounter between these sides, both teams grabbed goals, with the match finishing in a 1-1 draw.
The Los Bermellones defence has struggled at Reale Arena, having conceded 1 or more goals in each of their last 9 visits. It's been a very long time since Los Bermellones came to Reale Arena in the league and scored a goal, having left goalless in their last 6 visits. Mallorca have struggled to break down the Txuri-Urdin defence in their past encounters having only managed to find the back of the net 1 time in their last 5 meetings.
It's been a long time since Mallorca has taken any points away from their league visits to Reale Arena, having been beaten by Sociedad in each of their last 9 meetings there and failing to record a win for 9 games.
Sociedad manager Imanol Alguacil has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Ander Barrenetxea (Hamstring), Martín Merquelanz (Knee) and Kieran Tierney (Hamstring) are all currently out of contention for this game.
With only Pablo Maffeo (Hamstring) and Antonio Raíllo (Ankle) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Javier Aguirre will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
