The Spanish champions need a win to keep their lead
At the moment, the Blaugrana team occupies the first position in the La Liga standings, but the lead over rival Real Madrid is an extremely fragile one, measuring only one length.
So, if he makes a misstep today, and the “galacticos” prevail at the Mestalla against Valencia tomorrow, Hansi Flick's team will lose the leader's seat in Spain.
However, Barcelona is going through a very good period, registering 16 victories in the last 17 matches played in all competitions. The only failure of the Catalans in 2026 was recorded on January 18, 1-2 in San Sebastian with Real Sociedad, in the championship.
Also, at the beginning of this week, the Camp Nou group also qualified for the semi-finals of the King's Cup, after the 2-1 success recorded at the ground of the second division Albacete, the team that eliminated Real Madrid from the competition.
Mallorca comes after the categorical success with Sevilla
On the other hand, the formation prepared by Jagoba Arrasate has a goal diametrically opposed to tonight's opponent. If Barcelona is aiming to win the 29th title in history, those from Mallorca are fighting to stay in the first echelon of Spanish football.
Currently, the club from “Son Moix” is in 14th place in La Liga, being only two points away from Rayo Vallecano, Andrei Rațiu's team and the first club below the red line.
However, the last championship match gives hope to today's guests, as in the previous round, Mallorca won decisively at home against Sevilla, score 4-1, a result that allowed the “pirates” to leave the hot zone of the ranking.
The Catalans prevailed on a non-appearance score in the championship round
The first direct duel between the two teams in the current season took place in the summer of last year, more precisely on August 16, 2025, right in the inaugural stage of the La Liga season.
Then, the Blaugrana team prevailed without emotions on “Son Moix”, score 3-0, thanks to the goals scored by Raphinha (7'), Ferran Torres (23') and Lamine Yamal (90+4').
