At first glance this seems to be an easy victory for Barcelona with their outstanding statistics at home, against the team from Mallorca with their traditionally weak performances as a guest.
Mallorca has lost in 5 of their last 6 games as a guest in the Primera Division and occupies the poor 19. place.
However, in this match we will see Barcelona in a very different form from the one we are used to, because of the absence of Messi, Puyol, Mascherano, Jordi Alba, Adriano, who will miss the match because of injuries as well as Victor Valdes, who is suspended. Furthermore, Barcelona is waiting for a crucial Champions League clash against PSG, which may be a reason for the coach to rest some of his key players.
Mallorca failed to keep a clean sheet in their last 24 games and has allowed 58 goals. The team has proven itself as a good scorer, especially with the last two goals away to Real Madrid. Overall, 9 of the last 11 games of Mallorca in the league were over 2.5 goals. For Barcelona, this statistic is 22 of the last 24 matches with over 2.5 goals, having scored at least 2 goals in each game.
With aggressive and attacking style of both teams we are hoping to see an open game with lots of goals.
