REAL SOCIEDAD – MAIORCA | Wednesday, 20:00
Real Sociedad arrive at this match after seven straight wins in the league and cup. A magical moment for the hosts, who won last weekend on the difficult Celta Vigo ground and who obviously have no intention of letting up now. Also because, the hosts are really high up in the standings and dream of taking a place in the Champions League at the end of the season behind Real, Barcelona and Atletico. Alguacil’s troop – who have also beaten Old Trafford this season – want to play for it. And to do so, they need to win above all these home games against ‘dirty’ formations that could create problems.
Now, these problems, at least at this precise moment in time, should not be created by Mallorca: the visiting team is in fact experiencing a moment of tarnish, and comes from two defeats in the last three. And the last home defeat came at home against a Sevilla side that was anything but in good form. In short, Real Sociedad without any major problems.
