MLC vs BAR La Liga 2021-22 Preview:
RCD Mallorca set to host struggling giants FC Barcelona at Iberostar Stadium in the La Liga fixtures on Sunday night. Both teams return to action after a winter break to resume their second half of the season with three points possible. Barcelona are once again fighting for the top-four finish with another disappointing season for the fans.
Newly promoted Mallorca have been impressive this season with some big results against big teams. Los Pirates have defeated Atletico Madrid away and also hold off giants Sevilla, Valencia, Real Betis, and Real Sociedad this season. They enter this fixture after a 4-1 away defeat against Granada two weeks ago. Before that Mallorca were unbeaten in the last five fixtures, They sit in the 15th position in the league table with 20 points from the opening 18 league matches. They are just 5 points behind 10th placed Villarreal and 5 points clear to the relegation zone.
Barcelona’s struggles continue this season as their title hopes are already over and they are now fighting for the top-four finish this season. The Catalan giants enter this fixture after holding off 10-men Sevilla in a 1-1 away draw before the winter break. They have managed just 1 win in their last 6 matches overall. Barcelona were also knocked out of the Champions League after a big defeat against Bayern Munich in their last group stage fixture last month. They now sit in the 7 positions in the league table with 28 points from the opening 18 league matches, 18 points behind leaders Real Madrid but just 2 points behind 4th placed Rayo Vallecano.
Barcelona are suffering big from the current Covid-19 outbreak and injuries lately. Star first-team players Memphis Depay, Pedri, Ansu Fati, and Sergi Roberto are suffering from injuries. Samuel Umtiti, Clement Lenglet, Ousmane Dembele, Philippe Coutinho, Jordi Alba, Gavi, Sergino Dest, and Abde Ezzalzouli are all sidelined due to the Covid-19 outbreak and Sergio Busquets is absent due to suspension for this fixture. Mallorca is also missing 10 first-team players for this fixture, mostly due to the Covid-19 outbreak.
A win for the Catalan giants will guide them to the fourth position in the league table so manager Xavi will be trying to focus on three points on Sunday. Mallorca have lost all of their last seven matches against Barcelona so Xavi’s side will fancy this fixture despite the missing majority of the regular squad.
