Real Sociedad continues to line up in a 4-4-2 formation, with only minor changes in the attacking midfield. Takefusa Kubo started last match but delivered a mediocre performance, and another midfielder also underperformed. Gonçalo Guedes may replace him in the starting lineup for this match.
Top striker Muric scored again in the last league game, netting 4 goals in his last 3 matches, showing excellent form and posing a significant threat. Winger Vergili, who came off the bench last match and created chances, will miss this game due to his participation in the U-20 World Cup.
Real Sociedad has suffered three consecutive defeats, raising concerns over team morale and defensive stability. Despite playing at home, their performance is concerning. Mallorca, although still seeking their first win this season, showed strong performances against Real Madrid and Espanyol, displaying high fighting spirit and a tough playing style. Mallorca is expected to at least avoid defeat in this match.
Prediction: Mallorca to avoid defeat
