Real Sociedad vs Mallorca Prediction 24 September 2025
🔈 Which team will secure their first win of the season? In the 6th round of La Liga, Real Sociedad and Mallorca face off on the turf of the Reale Arena, both having had a poor start to the new campaign. Currently, both clubs find themselves in the relegation zone and are eager to improve their standings following this upcoming match. We're certainly in for an exciting clash, filled with intrigue. Bookmakers have Real Sociedad as the favorites, largely due to their home advantage and Mallorca's traditionally weak performances on the road.
Head-to-Head
📊 Let's take a look at the outcomes over the last 10 head-to-head encounters: Real Sociedad have secured 5 wins, there have been 3 draws, and Mallorca have claimed 2 victories. Interestingly, last season the "Royals" were defeated twice by the "Islanders": 0-1 at the "Iberostar" and 0-2 at the "Reale Arena". Highlighting the average scoring rate over the same period, Real Sociedad have averaged 0.9 goals per game, while Mallorca have averaged 0.6.
Head-to-head statistics Real Sociedad - Mallorca
Real Sociedad Team Overview
⚪ The "Royal Whites" continue their winless streak, having secured just 2 points from 5 matches played. For three consecutive games, the team from San Sebastián has only faced defeats. Such disheartening results at the start of the season leave Real Sociedad languishing in 18th place on the league table. Even their home ground offers little solace, with just 1 victory in their last 6 official encounters. Sergio Francisco and his coaching staff urgently need to take action to improve the current situation.
🔵 In the last La Liga round, the "Royal Whites" visited "Benito Villamarín." Real Sociedad completely collapsed in the second half, resulting in a 1-3 defeat. The club's creative struggles are evident in their xG figure of 0.68. In comparison, Betis boasted a figure of 2.25. Match after match, it's clear that Sergio Francisco is trying to simplify the game as much as possible, thus attempting to mitigate issues in midfield. The absence of a defensive midfielder, a role Martin Zubimendi filled in recent seasons, remains a major problem across various phases of play.

Mallorca Team Overview
🔴 The "Islanders" find themselves in a similar predicament to their upcoming opponents. Jagoba Arrasate's squad is still searching for their first victory of the season, having picked up just 2 points from their opening 5 matches. Currently sitting 19th in the standings, the club from the eponymous city is eager to climb out of the relegation zone soon. Arrasate's teams have always been known for their defensive solidity and minimal goals conceded, but this season tells a different story. Mallorca are conceding 2 goals per game at the start of the season, which ranks them 19th in the league-only Girona have conceded more.
⚫ The draw against Atletico (1-1) in the last round offered a glimmer of hope to the "Cinnabar Reds" supporters. Despite struggling to pose any attacking threat for most of the match, Mallorca capitalized on Alexander Sørloth's red card in the 72nd minute, leveling the score through Vedat Muriqi's efforts. This season, the "Islanders" have favored a 5-3-2 formation, aiming to eliminate any free spaces. However, a lack of balance across the lines has led to frequent positional errors.

Latest news
Real Sociedad
📰 Perhaps the standout performer for Real Sociedad is Brais Méndez, who consistently sought to create threats and intensify play during their clash with Betis (1-3). After the match, the Spaniard remarked: "We can't start matches like this. The opponent took the lead in the fifth minute of both halves, making it hard to fight back. In the first half, we responded well, equalized, and had our chances. But in the second half, we didn't. It's impossible to compete like that. We improved in phases, but we need to do it for the full ninety minutes. We hope our first win comes on Wednesday."
❌ Among Real Sociedad's injured players are Yangel Herrera (hamstring injury), Orri Óskarsson (thigh injury), and Iñaki Ruperes (knee injury).
Mallorca
🎤 Recently, the press caught up with Mallorca's Argentine defender Pablo Maffeo. Here's what he had to say about the current situation at the club: “I intend to keep going in the same vein. I've played for this club while injured: with three broken vertebrae, a broken knee, and a broken leg. I would follow them anywhere and will continue to do so because the club's success is my success. So, on a sporting level, there are no issues. We urgently need to turn things around. We have everything we need for that-a skilled coaching staff, a decent squad of players, and fantastic fans. Ultimately, it's all up to us now-we can't let down a huge number of people.”
❌ The "Islanders" still have Marash Kumbulla (leg injury) and Javier Llabrés (muscle injury) on the sidelines. Dani Rodriguez will miss the upcoming match due to suspension.
🟨 Yellow Card Prediction
In 8 out of the last 10 matches for both teams, there have been no more than 4 yellow cards. Neither the "Royals" nor the "Islanders" are particularly aggressive sides, as evidenced by their average fouls at the start of this season: Real Sociedad with 16.4 and Mallorca with 11.4. Our editorial team anticipates a competitive match, but it's unlikely to result in a significant number of bookings. Our pick is total yellow cards under 4.5.
⚽ Goal Prediction
Both clubs are struggling to keep their defenses tight, conceding a fair number of goals early in the season. The "Royals" are allowing opponents to score an average of 1.8 times per match, while the "Islanders" concede around 2. Neither Real Sociedad nor Mallorca have managed a clean sheet in their last 5 games. Given these factors, we suggest the following bet - both teams to score (yes).
🚩 Corner Prediction
Interestingly, Real Sociedad are among the league leaders in average corners earned, with around 7.8 per game. In contrast, the "Islanders" manage only about 4.6 corners per match. Additionally, in head-to-head encounters, the corner ratio stands at 6 to 4.5 in favor of the "Royals." A reasonable bet seems to be Real Sociedad to win corners with a handicap of (-1.5).
Editorial Prediction
Lately, the "Vermilion" have been successful in their head-to-head encounters with Real Sociedad. Despite a lackluster start to the season, Jagoba Arrasate aims to build a system-based football strategy focused on defensive play. Currently, the "Royals" are struggling not only with scoring and creativity but also with maintaining the necessary intensity for the full 90 minutes. In our view, the visitors' players appear to be in better physical shape. We predict a final score of 1-2, with the key pick being Mallorca's victory with a (+1) handicap.
