The stage is set for a thrilling encounter at the Reale Arena as Real Sociedad vs Mallorca will face each other in the second leg of the Copa del Rey semi-final today. The first leg in Mallorca ended goalless, leaving the tie wide open for either team to claim a place in the final.

Their Performance On Their Latest Matches

Sociedad will be looking to capitalize on their recent success against Mallorca. Earlier this month, they emerged victorious in their LaLiga meeting, securing a 2-1 win away from home. However, their momentum has been hampered by a disappointing 3-1 home defeat to Villarreal in the league last Saturday. Substitute Mikel Merino managed to score a consolation goal in the 86th minute, but Alexander Sorloth sealed the win for Villarreal in stoppage time.

Mallorca, meanwhile, come into the match following a 1-1 draw with Deportivo Alaves on Saturday. Matija Nastasic's late equalizer in the 88th minute earned them a point, extending their streak of draws to four in 2024.

Going into the crucial second leg, history heavily favors Real Sociedad. They boast a dominant head-to-head record against Mallorca, leading 30-20 in their 62 meetings. Moreover, Sociedad are currently on an impressive 11-game unbeaten run against their opponents, keeping a remarkable nine clean sheets in the process.

Despite their historical dominance, Sociedad's recent form raises concerns. They are winless in their last six home games across all competitions, failing to score on four occasions. In contrast, Mallorca have secured one victory in their last six matches, finding the net on only three occasions.

What Do We Expect From This Real Sociedad vs Mallorca Match

Looking at past Copa del Rey encounters, Real Sociedad hold the upper hand once again, leading 2-1 in their four meetings vs Mallorca, keeping three clean sheets in the process.

While both teams struggled in their recent outings, Real Sociedad with their historical dominance vs Mallorca, particularly at home, makes them the favorites to emerge victorious. However, Mallorca's recent success in the Copa del Rey, with three wins away from home, should not be underestimated. Expect a close-fought contest, with Sociedad edging out a narrow win to secure their place in the Copa del Rey final.
