Match Overview
Real Sociedad and Mallorca meet in the second leg of the semi-final of the Copa del Rey competition at the Reale Arena on Tuesday. The first leg of this encounter was played out as a goalless draw, and both teams will be labouring for the fact that they score at least one goal in this game. Sociedad have a good chance of doing so.
Key Highlights
Sociedad know these conditions extremely well, and hence will be much better prepared than Mallorca to get on the scoresheet. However, the rigours of playing matches over the weekend will get to both teams, and it is up to their managers to rest key players for this crucial fixture. Whoever ends up on the winning side in this game will qualify for the final.
Injury Report
Mikel Oyarbazal, Carlos Fernandez and Aihen Munoz are but a few players of Sociedad who have been ruled out of this game. For Mallorca, Pablo Maffeo is not available for selection.
Prediction
Neither Sociedad nor Mallorca appear to be the overwhelming favourites to win this game. We expect BTTS (both teams to score) in this game. Mallorca are known to press high and push beyond their means whenever they are put under pressure. Sociedad, for their part, have an extremely good attacking lineup, and this will help them push Mallorca out of their comfort zone.
