Yamal should return to the starting lineup following his ankle injury after coming off the bench at half-time last weekend. He has been instrumental for Barcelona’s attack this year havering 1.3 shots on target a game and 3.31 shots.

His absence has proved how crucial he is for the squad and hell be desperate to make an impact following their run of poor form.

Mallorca have proven themselves as a formidable side this season, securing impressive results against top-tier teams like Real Madrid and Athletic Bilbao, with both matches ending in draws. They’ve consistently tested opposing defenses, averaging 3.87 shots on target per game in La Liga.

Meanwhile, Barcelona’s defense has shown vulnerability, conceding an average of 1.07 goals per game and allowing 3.33 shots on target per match.

Barcelona have been a dominant force in attack this season, averaging an impressive 5.8 corners per game. Their offensive threat has been further bolstered by the return of Lamine Yamal, who adds a dynamic edge to their forward play.

On the other hand, Mallorca, despite being defensively solid in many areas, have shown a tendency to concede corners, averaging 5.67 per game.

Barcelona may be undervalued in this matchup due to recent dips in form, creating a value opportunity. They remain top of La Liga and arguably the best team in the world, as evidenced by their recent 4-0 demolition of Real Madrid at the Bernabéu. Despite some inconsistency, their away record is exceptional, leading the league on road performance alone.

Lamine Yamal’s return from injury is a key boost, with all 3 of Barcelona’s losses this season occurring in his absence. Meanwhile, Mallorca, despite sitting sixth, have struggled at home with just 3 wins in 8 games, 2 of which came against bottom-tier sides. Their home inconsistency makes it difficult to see them troubling Barcelona’s quality.

Lamine Yamal has proven to be a magnet for fouls, drawing an average of 2.08 per game this season. Returning from injury, he’ll be eager to make an impact, using his pace and skill to consistently challenge defenders.

His tendency to run at opponents and take them on 1v1 makes him a prime target for defensive fouls, adding strong justification for this selection at 1.44.

Robert Lewandowski has been in unstoppable form for Barcelona this season, netting an impressive 15 goals in 15 appearances. His lethal finishing and knack for getting into scoring positions make him a constant danger to any defence.

With an average of 3.4 shots and 1.8 shots on target per game, Lewandowski’s involvement and efficiency in attack underline his reliability as a goalscorer. Backing him to find the net again at odds of 2.0 offers solid value.

Barcelona concede an average of 3.33 shots on target per game, a figure that could rise in a challenging away fixture against a strong Mallorca side. With Marc-Andre ter Stegen sidelined, Inaki Pena has stepped in and shown himself to be a capable shot-stopper.

Opposing teams have targeted him, and he’s responded with an average of 2.3 saves per game in La Liga. Given Mallorca’s ability to generate goal-scoring opportunities (averaging 3.87 shots on target per game), Pena is well-positioned to record at least two saves in this match.

While Mallorca games don’t typically feature high scores, facing Barcelona is a different story. Barcelona have been prolific, averaging 2.87 goals per game, with their La Liga matches this season averaging 3.93 total goals.

After a winless run in their last 3 games, Barcelona will be eager to push forward, creating an open, end-to-end contest. Their potent attack combined with some defensive vulnerabilities makes over 3.5 goals a compelling selection.
