Maiorca-Barcelona is a match valid for the seventh day of La Liga and is played on Tuesday at 21:30: formations, predictions, tv and streaming.
Last Saturday, with a quarter of an hour to go in the match, Barcelona were two goals down against Celta Vigo. The Galicians were already looking forward to the breakthrough, but within minutes Xavi’s Blaugrana managed to turn it around thanks to a brace from Lewandowski and Joao Cancelo’s winning goal.
A comeback that sent the ‘Lluis Companys’ crowd – Barça’s home stadium during the Camp Nou renovation – into raptures and allowed the Spanish champions to take the top spot in the standings, now jointly led with their ‘cousins’ Girona. And to take advantage of Real Madrid’s misstep, which surrendered to Atletico Madrid in the derby on Sunday’s post-match match, taking their first defeat of the season. An electrifying weekend, then, for a Barcelona that has won consecutively for six matches, including the Champions League match against Antwerp, overwhelmed 5-0. In short, Xavi has many reasons to smile and look forward to the coming months with confidence. His Barça, although conceding a few too many goals compared to last year, seems to have grown in personality and character. In the midweek round the Catalans will be on the scene in the Balearic Islands, where they will try to stretch their lead against Mallorca, who have only won one match in six. And that in the last round cashed in five goals on the field of the surprising Girona.
Muriqi and his team-mates tried to limit the damage at the end, but the defeat at the ‘Montilivi’ remains very heavy (5-3). It was their third knockout of the season after Villarreal and Granada: the enthusiasm for the victory at home to Celta Vigo, who were beaten 1-0, soon faded.

The Prediction
Maiorca are usually a tough team, especially when they play at home, but it has to be said that the Rossoneri are not in a good moment. And then beating Barcelona has become a real taboo: there are 11 defeats in a row against the Blaugrana in the league. Finally, Xavi’s team is finding the way of the goal with some ease: the total number of goals could be at least three.
Maiorca-Barcelona’s likely line-up
- MAIORCA (5-4-1): Rajkovic; Maffeo, Valjent, Nastasic, van der Heyden, Jaume Costa; Dani Rodriguez, Samu Costa, Darder, Morlanes; Muriqi.
- BARCELONA (4-3-3): ter Stegen; Cancelo, Araujo, Christensen, Baldé; Gundogan, Romeu, Gavi; Raphinha, Lewandowski, Joao Felix.
POSSIBLE RESULT: 1-2
