Mallorca vs. Real Sociedad - prediction, team news, lineups

Mallorca

Mallorca will be looking to build on their impressive start to the season when they host Real Sociedad at the Visit Mallorca Estadi on Saturday. Javier Aguirre's side have won three of their opening four matches, including a 1-0 victory over Real Madrid, and they will be confident of causing problems for Real Sociedad.

The home side will be without the suspended Iddrisu Baba, but they have no other major injury concerns. Aguirre is likely to make few changes to the side that beat Real Madrid, with Vedat Muriqi leading the line and Kang-in Lee providing support from midfield.

Real Sociedad

Real Sociedad have also made a strong start to the season, winning two of their opening four matches. Imanol Alguacil's side will be looking to maintain their momentum when they travel to Mallorca, but they will need to be wary of the home side's threat.

The visitors will be without the injured David Silva and Mikel Oyarzabal, but they have no other major injury concerns. Alguacil is likely to make few changes to the side that beat Cadiz last time out, with Alexander Sorloth leading the line and Mikel Merino providing support from midfield.

Prediction

This is a tough match to call, but Mallorca's impressive start to the season gives them a slight edge. The home side will be confident of causing problems for Real Sociedad, and they will be looking to take all three points.

Mallorca 1-0 Real Sociedad
