RCD Mallorca Team Analysis
Mallorca finished 10th last season with 48 points after 38 La Liga matches. They recorded 13 wins, nine draws, and 16 losses. With that result, the Pirates now head into their fifth consecutive season in Spain’s top division.
In terms of incomings, Jagoba Arrasate’s squad has brought in Pablo Torre from Barcelona. Other signings include Lucas Bergstrom and Mateo Joseph. Notable departures include Robert Navarro, Siebe Van der Heyden, and Jose Copete. Mallorca had an active pre-season, featuring in six matches and registering three victories, including back-to-back wins against Poblense and Hamburger SV in their final outings. However, their recent record against Barcelona remains a concern. They have suffered 14 defeats in the last 15 league encounters against the Culers.
Line Up Prediction
Samu Costa, Cyle Larin, and Pablo Maffeo are doubts for this game.
Possible starting lineup: Roman; Mojica, Raillo, Valjent, Morey; Costa, Morlanes, Torre, Darder, Asano; Muriqi.

FCB Barcelona Analysis
Barcelona enjoyed a standout 2024-25 season under Hansi Flick, securing a domestic double with triumphs in La Liga and the Copa del Rey. They also won the Spanish Super Cup, bringing their total trophy haul to three. The team netted over 100 goals in the league last season. Lewandowski, Raphinha, and Lamine Yamal were excellent last season.
The trio will lead again this season, with Marcus Rashford set to add more firepower to the team. Barcelona’s absence from the 2025 Club World Cup granted them a period of rest before playing four friendlies, all of which they won, including a dominant 5-0 result against Como in the Joan Gamper Trophy.
Line Up Prediction
Marc-André ter Stegen is out with an injury, while Robert Lewandowski and Dani Olmo are doubts.
Possible starting lineup: Garcia; Kounde, Araujo, Curbasi, Balde; Pedri, De Jong, Yamal, Lopez, Raphinha, Torres.

Mallorca vs Barcelona Betting Tips & Predictions
Here are our top Mallorca vs Barcelona betting predictions for this match:
- Barcelona to Win @ 1.40 (2/5) – With four straight wins in the preseason matches, Barca are in a strong position to win this game. They are not strangers to Mallorca’s playing style and have a good away win record against this opponent. Given the firepower they possess upfront, we are backing Flick’s men to get an opening day victory at the Estadi Mallorca Son Moix.
- Total Goal: Over 2.5 @ 1.59 (3/5) – In the reverse fixture from last season, Barcelona put five past Mallorca, conceding once in the process. The Culers have shown similar form in preseason, scoring a total of twenty goals across four games. Based on that metric, we expect this outcome to play out on Sunday.
- Both Teams To Score: Yes @ 1.86 (6/7) – Despite their strong scoring record last season, Barcelona have also developed a reputation for allowing too many goals. During pre-season, they conceded in their first two matches before managing clean sheets in the following two. While that improvement is a positive sign, it’s still likely they will concede in this fixture.
Final Thoughts & Recommended Picks
Based on our observations, here are our final Mallorca vs Barcelona betting picks:
✅Barcelona to Win @ 1.40 (2/5)
✅Total Goal: Over 2.5 @ 1.59 (3/5)
Barcelona should start the season on a high. They are a solid team with excellent players and we expect them to grab a win on Saturday.
