• Venue: Estadi Olimpic Lluis Companys, Barcelona, Spain

Matchday 33 of the 2024/25 La Liga season will include Barcelona welcoming Mallorca to the Estadi Olimpic Lluis Companys in Barcelona on Tuesday evening. The hosts currently lead the pack in the Spanish first division and are chasing a historic third European treble. Mallorca, on the other hand, sits in the eighth spot with 43 points on the board so far. The FC Barcelona vs Mallorca fixture should be another step in the right direction for the champions elect, FC Barcelona.

Barcelona will be greatly pleased with how the recent games have played out. In the last six games, the club has managed four victories, a draw, and one defeat. The sole loss came in the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals against Borussia Dortmund, which ultimately had no bearing on the progress of the Catalans to the semi-finals. Hansi Flick has completely rejuvenated the side, who are in for an exciting end to the season, competing in all three competitions. The Catalans lead La Liga in several metrics like the most goals scored (84), highest average possession (68.1%), and highest expected goals (74), among others.

Inconsistencies and mixed results have marked the recent games of Mallorca. The club has accumulated two wins, two draws, and two losses in the last six games.

During this period, Mallorca scored seven goals and conceded six. The team finished 15th last season, just seven points above the relegation zone. This time around, the situation has been much better, with Mallorca just five points behind the European places. Mallorca has scored 1 goal per game in the league this season, with Vedat Muriqi being the top scorer (seven goals).

Key Players to Watch in FC Barcelona vs Mallorca

Raphinha (Barcelona)

Amongst the excitement of Barcelona's prodigy, Lamine Yamal and the experience of Robert Lewandowski, it has been Raphinha who has been the star of Barcelona's attack this season.

The Brazilian has emerged as a different kind of player under Hansi Flick and is now one of the front-runners for the Ballon d'Or. The former Leeds man scored a late brace against Celta Vigo to pick up all three points on Saturday. Raphinha has 15 goals and nine assists in the league and has registered 0.5 xG in his last five games.

Jules Kounde (FC Barcelona)

Barcelona fans will be aware that the success of the club this season could not have been possible without the defensive assurance provided by Jules Kounde.

The Frenchman, although primarily a centre back, has often been deployed as a right full-back by Flick. The performance, though, has not taken a hit with the former Sevilla man an integral part of Barcelona's high defensive line. He has 12 tackles, four interceptions, and four blocks in the last five outings.

FC Barcelona vs Mallorca Prediction

It is difficult to imagine Barcelona suffering an upset against Mallorca. The Catalans have an impeccable win percentage of 73% at home this season and will be looking to earn another big win in La Liga.
