Barcelona vs Mallorca

Barcelona StartXI: 4-3-3
Marc-André ter Stegen; Jules Koundé; Pau Cubarsí; Iñigo Martínez; João Cancelo; İlkay Gündoğan; Andreas Christensen; Raphinha; Lamine Yamal; Marc Guiu; João Félix

Mallorca StartXI: 5-3-2
Predrag Rajković; Giovanni González; Matija Nastasić; Antonio Raíllo; José Copete; Toni Lato; Sergi Darder; Samuel Costa; Manu Morlanes; Cyle Larin; Vedat Muriqi

Mallorca give a lot of people a shock after defeated Girona and maintain their standard throughout the entire match, despite winning them in other competitions but still I thought when it comes to laliga things will change but unfortunately Mallorca gain another victory again. Barcelona are underperformed team now their consistency is not as we expected, Barcelona have improved in time of losing a match but winning is a big problem which they have to address, after their last lost they have played 7 matches, only won 4 and  draw 3, this record is not best for them. Now Barcelona vs Mallorca, this is going to be a tough match but no matter what Barcelona have hope of winning because they are the host, and again I don't expect any shock with Mallorca this time around because this is Barcelona home.

[Palakka]

For Girona, winning the ticket Champions League is one of the most important things at the moment, regardless of where they will finish when the season ends. Girona gradual decline in performance made Barcelona lucky, because Xavi had the opportunity to bring his squad to finish in runner-up position. On paper, the Barcelona versus Mallorca match is fairly easy to guess, clearly Barcelona has a much higher chance of securing full points.

On the other hand, the Girona versus Osasuna match is also fairly easy to predict, Girona will most likely also be able to secure full points. In the last meeting, Girona managed to beat Osasuna 4-2. Acting as host will help Michel squad start to regain consistency, because in the last five matches Girona has lost a lot of points and was only able to win one match.

Although it is still possible but it will be difficult for Girona and Barcelona to thwart Madrid champions this season, so the only option for Girona and Barcelona is to fight hard to be able to maintain their position in the Champions League zone, 4 teams currently still have a chance to get 3 kouta to qualify for the Champions League next season and if one team is caught off guard then the opportunity to play in the Champions League will disappear.

Barcelona, Girona, Atletico Madrid are under strong pressure from Atletico Bilbao and of course at a time like now it is very abstinent for all three teams to drop points because it will only give Bibao a chance to get closer, btw, I really believe if Barcelona and Atletico Madrid can provide a lot of competition in the Champions League next season if they qualify,  As for Girona, honestly I am quite curious whether Girona will be able to do the same as other Spanish League clubs who are experienced in facing European teams in the Champions League so far?
Because for me, although Girona was able to surprise us this season by being able to be title contenders, girona still a small club that maybe next season will return to its place at the bottom of the La Liga table.

Lewandowski is no longer young, so it is quite logical before the game in the Champions League, the result of which determines his further participation (or non-participation) in the tournament, not to make him tired. Perhaps he will come in as a replacement. In general, this game does not decide anything at all for Barcelona (they have already lost the title, but are guaranteed to remain in the top 4) so Xavi can experiment here as he wants.
Perhaps Mallorca will try to take advantage of this situation and we will see a lot of goals now (a repeat of the 3-3 score would be great).

[BitcoinHunt3r]

Barcelona will use all of their might to ensure that they defeat Mallorca and go up to the second position, ahead of Girona, who are starting to lose ground on winning points.

When a top team plays a lower team on the table, they shouldn't take them for granted because if they do, the lower club may surprise them with their performance. I believe Girona experiences that, and Barcelona wouldn't want to since Mallorca defeated a team(Girona) that defeated them at home in December of last year.

On paper there should be no reason for Barcelona to miss out on points Barcelona is much better than Mallorca and playing at home especially they are aiming for 2nd place in the standings but sometimes Barcelona is unpredictable they could have played a draw as we have seen in their last few games at least Barcelona drew 2 times in the last 5 matches. On the other hand, Mallorca are not aiming for anything because they are safe from relegation so whatever the result of this match will not have an impact on their position, Mallorca are 6 points above the relegation zone.

[Adams0001]

Barcelona has not lost recently, but there are matches where they have drawn. It seems certain that they will see tight defense against Mallorca. It's very important for them to score early, otherwise the match will become even more difficult for them. Injuries were a bit annoying. Still, I think Barca will make the moves to win the match.
Mallorca's offensive line, consisting of Muriqi and Larin, is very effective. They can score goals too. In this respect, both teams to score or over 2.5 goals can be played.

Mallorca only score twice in their last 7 away league games, I doubt they will be able to score against a full-team Barca.
But some of the Barca key players such as Araujo, Balde, Pedri and De Jong are absent from this match.
And dont forget that they must face Napoli in the Champions league on Tuesday.
I still have faith on Barca to win this match and Over 2.5 should be win if Mallorca can score.

How I see the Barcelona match against Mallorca this night, the match can end in a draw because some of their players are absent, Barcelona will just try their best to defend the match and end the match draw because he will be very difficult if they don't defeat Barcelona this night, if I will bet on Barcelona, I should play GG because how Barcelona players are not complete, Mallorca will get the opportunity and score goals in the game, let see what will happen in the match But I believe the game will be extremely difficult for Xavi to win and continue chasing the trophy with Girona and Real Madrid. I believe Barcelona will finish second in the league table because Girona is currently playing weak games, and if they continue to do so, Barcelona will have the opportunity to top them in the table. Mallorca is still fighting for relegation, and if they lose against Barcelona tonight, he will cause them problems in the table.

[AYOBA]

Mallorca's victory over Girona last week of course made the mentality and self-confidence of the Mallorca players increase drastically and the Barcelona team needs to be aware of this.
Of course, Barcelona's unstable performance means that all matches will not be easy for them, but Barcelona also has quite a lot of motivation to be able to occupy second place in the standings, displacing Girona, so in my opinion, Barcelona's chances of winning the match are very big, especially since Barcelona will be playing at home, of course. they will be very favorite.

Because Girona played so poorly in their most recent match, Mallorca exerted a great deal of effort and prevailed against them. In fact, no one scored a goal against Mallorca because of the way they played against every side they faced. The shocking thing is that they managed to overcome Girona in the first half, which lasted 33 minutes, and they made every effort to maintain their composure from then until the conclusion, preventing Girona from tying the score. The match between Barcelona and Mallorca is about to begin today, and from what I'm seeing, a lot of people think Barcelona should win so they can move up to second position in the standings behind Girona.

I had doubts it will not possible that Barcelona can win the match. Because of the way Mallorca worked hard and dominated their most recent game against Girona to keep them from unseating Girona for the top spot, I expect Mallorca to defeat Barcelona. You should not be proud of Barcelona even though they will be playing at home since they will undoubtedly win the game.

Gundogan has the chance of scoring the first goal for Barcelona through a penalty, but he missed it, as Mallorca goalkeeper blocked the ball by pushing it out. Copete cause the penalty kick as he fouled Raphinha. Barca is in possession of the match and they are dominating the game.

Jao Felix just took a good strike, but it could not be on that. That has been the closed shot which Barcelona has taken since in this game. Mallorca is also trying their best to create good chances for them to score, but they have missed two chances that was supposed to be converted to a goal. Mallorca attack is very active.

It is still goalless, amd the match is on the 37th minutes in Camp Nou. 0-0

[Raflesia]

Still, this process has to be carried out because we all know that Benzema is a Madrid legend and his presence brings peace of mind, especially when it comes to goals, but Madrid must also realize that they can't continue to rely on Benzema forever because it's a bad situation to continue to do so.

Instead of continuing to think that Benzema is everything they need to address this problem now. Expecting Benzema to stay in the squad is not possible because age is an inevitable situation, so instead of thinking about Benzema they should look for other options.
It was a brave move by Ancelotti not to look for a replacement striker when Benzema left but in the end it was worth it with Jude in the squad and now they just need to find a new talented striker to complement Madrid's already good squad.

I don't think Jude Bellingham is the answer to the lack of a center forward in the Real Madrid squad this season. Joselu can certainly help in some matches, but Real Madrid can't always rely on him because Bellingham's good performance is much more profitable for them. Jude Bellingham is an attacking midfielder who is also known as a shadow striker or second striker, he is good in that position and mostly not so good when played as a striker.

This season everything is good for Real Madrid even though they have several defensive players who are injured. Ancelotti can maximize the existing squad without many problems, in fact Real Madrid is the best team in defense to date, having only conceded 18 goals in 27 matches. Goal productivity is also good, they have scored 56 goals so far, but next season things might change if they don't have a center forward.

Jude is not the answer and I'm not saying that Jude is the answer to the loss of Benzema from the squad because however, in terms of position between Jude and Benzema it is different so Jude is not the answer because Madrid are definitely still looking for a replacement for Benzema until now, it's just that the presence of Jude in the end was able to eliminate concerns about Madrid's productivity because I think we are all aware that at the beginning of the season we doubted that Madrid's productivity was good. But in the end Ancelotti answered that without a pure striker they were still able to perform optimally even though in the end sooner or later they would have to look for striker options to make Madrid stronger.

Madrid are still fine now but there will have to be a change of scheme because they won't always be able to rely on Jude especially since he is always on the sidelines now even though his performance is very good but it's still not the right answer and I'm pretty sure this season they will look for a striker to strengthen Madrid's attack as a complement to the strength that is currently very good.

Not only is it important, it is a target they must achieve at the end of the season after Girona had a fantastic season this season. Míchel knows that winning the La Liga title is the most difficult thing for him and his team, but if they are able to maintain the consistency of their team's performance then Champions League tickets can still be hoped for.

About the title, Real Madrid is the team that will win it because they have collected a lot of points compared to Girona, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid. There are not many threats for Real Madrid after they lead 8 points above Barcelona and 7 points above Girona, meaning that Real Madrid is quite comfortable with the points gap.

I was supporting Girona to win the LaLiga title and they have done so well this season, but i don't think they have any chance of winning it again this season, they are 7 points behind Real madrid now and Barcelona and Atletico madrid are behind, but close to them. Girona has to be very careful so they do not miss the champions league ticket for next season, i believe they are going to get that champions league ticket, but if they continue to play badly, other teams behind them may stop them from achieving that.

[ZAINmalik75]

We knew that Girona would not be able to stay at the top throughout the season, as a result their performance started to decrease and they fell down in the rankings. Barcelona has a big advantage this week, they can win the match tonight and take second place in the rankings. Mallorca is not a strong team, Girona will play against Osasuna and there is a possibility of losing points

Yeah sure that Girona has no more chance or potential to take advantage of second place at the league table. Initially, at the start of the season Giron had very good form and they are just dominating the league table despite And now they focus only on winning the match and not on getting 1st place despite Girona dominating the league in a very strong way but now they are eager to win only the match. But anyway if Barcelona has to succeed to get a chance for a victory then the 3 points will be bad because Barcelona will get second place and Girona will get 3rd rank. The match of Barcelona vs Mallorca is still continuing and no goal has been scored, so the final result is decided if Barcelona has failed to win the match, so Girona will be taken 2nd place, which will be a joy to watch for Girona and Girona fans. The match is continued; let's see what the final result is between them.

Girona I must say have been impressive this season especially in the Spanish La Liga campaign and even if they didn't succeed to win the Spanish La Liga title at the end of the season, we mustn't shy away from the fact that very little number of people would've predicted that they'll finish this season in the top four of the Spanish La Liga table. Their impressive performance this season have been the most surprising happening of the season and I'm very optimistic that they'll surely finish the season in the top four of the season but might not be allowed to participate in the UEFA Champions League competition next and I want to say something that I think some of us in this forum are completely unaware of and that is one of the rules of qualifying to play in the UEFA Champions League competition.

One of the rules of the UEFA Champions League competition is that two teams of the same owner can't be allowed to participate in the competition and as we all know, Manchester City owners are also the co-owners of Girona and has the highest stake in the club so if Manchester City finishes in the top four of the English Premier League table at the end of the season while Girona does same in the Spanish La Liga table, one of the is certainly not going to play in the competition and because Manchester City has a better ranking in the UEFA rankings, they'll play in the competition ahead of Girona

The title is a bonus but they deserve a ticket to qualify for the Champions League. I agree with this even though it doesn't matter when this season ends they finish last in position to automatically qualify there.
Barcelona wasted a golden opportunity with a penalty, but Gundogan failed to finish well with a great opportunity to score easily.

Barcelona still has a chance to win against Mallorca because Xavi still hasn't included Lewandowski as far as the match is going.
Xavi still entrusts the 18 year old young striker to the center forward position with his own formation.

Oh, I didn't realize who owns Girona and who has the biggest investment in the club. Girona looks like they deserve to qualify for next season's Champions League due to their impressive form, but if the rule is true and it could prevent Girona from qualifying for the Champions League, then I don't know what to say.

By the way, Barcelona has had great difficulty scoring goals against Mallorca so far. The score was still 0-0 even though Barcelona dominated the match. Xavi cannot lead his team on the sidelines, but it looks like he will maximize all his players to get points today even though they will face Napoli in the second leg in midweek.

Lewandoski is not the game changer he used to be, none of the Barcelona players are playing up to their full potential at the moment. Xavi has been decent but has not been able to get the best out of these crop of players and does not have the best team management to try and keep as much players as possible fit.
Lewy is on now.

Guiu is very young, so I would not criticize him too much. The team is also not performing well as a whole, very little he can do.

[boltz]

Barcelona needs a victory in order to keep close to Real Madrid or the title fight will slowly but surely fade away , but so far a draw seems the direction the current game is going into. Mallorca has a simple plan so far ...to not make big mistakes on first 30 meters because I doubt Barcelona can miss 2 penalties in a row.

[Rengga Jati]

Barcelona still has a chance to win against Mallorca because Xavi still hasn't included Lewandowski as far as the match is going.
Xavi still entrusts the 18 year old young striker to the center forward position with his own formation.

There is still a chance. but...
Indeed, so far, the result is still a draw 0 - 0.
Well, if you look at the statistics, Barcelona is far superior. Barcelona also made a pretty good attack, but it wasn't too sharp so Mallorca could still beat it quite well.

In fact, Barcelona also has to be wary of Mallorca's performance. Even though in La Liga, they are not a top club, their performance recently has really improved. Moreover, they also entered the Cop Del Rey final. This is certainly very surprising. And indeed because their performance is not as bad as before. There has been quite a significant increase in the club. Xavi really has to be more alert and think about tactics to be able to beat Mallorca no matter what in this match.

[Leviathan.007]

Sicne Xavi isgonig to leave Barcelona soon inthe end of this season ther are many news about some coachs theywant to take his palce.
Barcelona doesn't have good finantial istation to buy expensive coachs to take the palce of Xavi in Barcelona but they are clsoe to some coachs and they prefer to use the coachs they workied in Barcelona before.
One of these coaches who lniekd to Barcelona is Luis Enrique who is curently working on PSG and had poerfect resuolt in this team, but PSG said they want to keep worknig with their ocach nad they prefer to keep Luis Enrique for a liger time which means Barcelona should forget hiering Luis Enrique.

It has to be done because it's quite unfortunate if they drop out of the Champions League after an incredible start to the season and half of the season for Girona.
But it can't be denied that Girona form has dropped significantly in recent matches.
They keep dropping points which has reduced their momentum a little bit and I think things like this need to be resolved soon.

Although currently in terms of points they still have a fairly comfortable gap apart from Barcelona at the moment but if their performance is not too good to continue then this could also be troublesome for them especially the match until the end of the season is still quite long because there are approximately 11 matches they have not completed.

Currently some dark horse clubs like Bilbao must also be considered because it could be with Girona's poor results that some other clubs take advantage of to seize their position.
