The 2022-23 edition of La Liga is back in action with another round of matches this weekend as Mallorca lock horns with Xavi’s Barcelona side in an important encounter at the Camp Nou on Sunday.
Barcelona vs Mallorca Preview
Mallorca are currently in 11th place in the La Liga standings and have been inconsistent so far this season. The away side edged Valencia to a 1-0 victory last week and will look to achieve a similar result in this fixture.
Barcelona, on the other hand, are at the top of the league table at the moment and have been fairly impressive on the domestic front this season. The Catalan giants slumped to a 3-1 defeat at the hands of Real Valladolid in their previous game and will need to bounce back this weekend.

Barcelona have slumped after they managed to assure their league triumph and have a point to prove in this fixture. The Catalans have a young squad and could give some of their youth prospects a chance this weekend.
Mallorca can pack a punch on their day but have a poor recent record against the Blaugrana. Barcelona are the better team at the moment and should be able to win this game.
