Mallorca vs. Barcelona odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s Mallorca vs. Barcelona odds and lines, with La Liga picks and predictions.

Mallorca (2 wins, 2 losses, 2 draws) hosts Barcelona (5-0-1) at Iberostar Stadium Saturday. Kickoff is set for 3 p.m. ET. Below, we preview Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Mallorca vs. Barcelona odds, and make our best La Liga bets, picks and predictions.

Barcelona has yet to lose on the road, posting a 3-0-0 record. Over the offseason, Barcelona made no shortage of big-time moves, adding star F Robert Lewandowski.

He has 8 goals on the season and no other player has more than 2. Outside of a 0-0 draw to start the season against Rayo Vallecano, Barcelona has scored 3 or more in every league match. They sit 2nd to Real Madrid in La Liga.

Mallorca’s leading scorer is 28-year-old F Vedat Muriqi with 3 goals on the season. They’re 1-1-1 at home this season and have allowed 7 goals and scored 6 goals in 6 matches.

They have already played Real Madrid, losing 4-1 on the road. At home, they’ve won 1-0, drawn 1-1 and lost 2-1. The result against Madrid will be the most similar as to what Mallorca will see Saturday.

Prediction

Barcelona 2, Mallorca 0

Money line (ML)

PASS.

Everyone should like Barcelona here, and Mallorca sits 10th on the La Liga table.

However, Barcelona won both games last season by just 1 goal. They won 1-0 on the road in this environment. At -290, this is a pass, especially with Barcelona looking toward a Tuesday Champions League group stage match with Inter.

Over/Under (O/U)

BET UNDER 2.5 (+135).

The road side should win this game, but Inter will be awaiting them. Ahead of their last 2 group stage matches, Barcelona had a league match in which star F Ousmane Dembélé played just 62 minutes and Lewandowski played 73 minutes. The stars should be given a rest in this match and that could limit goal-scoring chances.

Also, Mallorca has defended well and has 3 clean sheets so far this season. They’ve scored under 2 goals in all but 1 game, and against a top-tier defense led by GK Marc-Andre ter Stegen, it should struggle.

It scored on Real but had just .4 expected goals and allowed just 1.6 expected goals. Real had 4 goals on 7 shots on target. If that repeats itself, with Mallorca having just 2, expect the Under 2.5 to be the side having a better chance to cash.

Considering the forward-looking matches and high-quality defenses, I’ll back the Under 2.5 (+135).

Barcelona vs. Real Valladolid odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s Barcelona vs. Real Valladolid odds and lines, with La Liga picks and predictions.

Barcelona (1 win, 0 losses, 1 draw) welcomes Real Valladolid (0-1-1) to Camp Nou Sunday. Kickoff is set for 1:30 p.m. ET. Below, we preview the Barcelona vs. Real Valladolid odds and lines, and make our best La Liga bets, picks and predictions.

Barcelona is coming into this match following a 3-3 midweek draw with EPL powerhouse Manchester City. In league play, they drew Rayo Vallecano to kick off the season then beat Real Sociedad 4-1 in their 2nd match.

Barcelona’s most notable move this offseason was acquiring phenom F Robert Lewandowski from Bayern Munich. He’s scored 2 goals so far this season.

As for Real Valladolid, they lost to Villarreal 3-0 to kick off the season then managed a draw against Sevilla last weekend, a showing which both teams left the pitch with 10 men.

Valladolid was promoted this season after finishing 2nd in Spain’s 2nd-tier league. F Shon Weissman led the team last season with 20 goals, but remains sidelined with an injury.

Prediction

Barcelona 4, Valladolid 0

Money line (ML)

PASS.

There’s no chance I’m betting a -700 money line favorite, especially in soccer. At the same time, the recently-promoted Valladolid haven’t given fans much to watch so far this season.

Ultimately, however you look at it, this is a pass.

Over/Under (O/U)

BET OVER 3.5 (-105).

In Barcelona’s season opener, both they and Rayo Vallecano had many chances. The result was a draw, but Barcelona ended with 21 shots.

They have had over 2 expected goals in both games this season. Against Sociedad, they did total 4 goals and allowed 1. This team’s strength is going to be in its attack, especially with Lewandowski.

Given Valladolid has done little to slow down opponents, especially in their more high-level matchup, a 3-0 loss to Villarreal, they should struggle to tame Barcelona.

Considering how both sides have played, a bet for this total is a bet for Barcelona dominating the match, which seems relatively safe.

Real Sociedad vs. Barcelona odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s Real Sociedad vs. Barcelona odds and lines, with La Liga picks and predictions.

Real Sociedad (1 win, 0 losses, 0 draws) will welcome Barcelona (0-0-1) to Estadio Anoeta Sunday. Kickoff is set for 4 p.m. ET. Below, we preview the Real Sociedad vs. Barcelona odds and lines, and make our best La Liga bets, picks and predictions.

Real Sociedad won their 1st league match against Cádiz 1-0. They dominated the game, posting 1.7 expected to Cádiz’s .3. That game was on the road as well.

Last year’s leading scorer F Mikel Oyarzabal, who had 9 goals on the season, did not play in the team’s opener as 21-year-old Takefusa Kubo scored the team’s lone goal.

Barcelona added phenom F Robert Lewandowski from Bayern Munich in the offseason, and despite him seeing time in the match, they drew their opener 0-0.

Barcelona has 2.1 expected goals to Rayo Vallecano’s .9. Barcelona will be one of the few teams with the pace and talent to keep up with Real Madrid at the top of the La Liga table.

Prediction

Barcelona 2, Real Sociedad 1

Money line (ML)

BET BARCELONA (+107).

Getting Barcelona in a league matchup against anyone other than Real Madrid at plus-money odds is a gift. Barcelona drew last weekend, but they were the clearly superior side.

Barcelona had 16 more shots and more than double Rayo’s attempts on target. Star F Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang also only got 9 minutes, and if he’s more involved Sunday, the goals should come easier for the road side.

Barcelona won both matches against Real Sociedad last season by a combined 5-2, winning 1-0 on the road. Given that Sociedad didn’t play that well in its opener, I would side with Barcelona coming out on top at this value.

Over/Under (O/U)

LEAN OVER 2.5 (-125).

Barcelona and Real went over this total once last season, a 4-2 win at Camp Nou. It’s difficult to bet against goals with the elite talent that Barca has up top.

Also, Rayo did have a few extremely quality chances last weekend.

On the side of Sociedad, it was able to find the back of the net and had 15 shots, putting 8 on target. Their shooting percentages show they should be able to get some shots on target Sunday.

Both teams went under this total in their opener, but both also had over 1.5 expected goals. Against each other, I expect goals to be plentiful.

Real Madrid vs. Barcelona odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s Real Madrid vs. Barcelona odds and lines, with La Liga picks and predictions.

Real Madrid (20 wins, 2 losses, 6 draws) welcomes Barcelona (14-4-9) for El Clasico Sunday. The match from Santiago Bernabéu is scheduled to kick-off at 4 p.m. ET. Below, we preview the Real Madrid vs. Barcelona odds and lines, and make our best La Liga bets, picks and predictions.

Real has been by far the best team in La Liga this season with a 10 point lead atop the table over second-placed Sevilla.

Its dominant defense has conceded just 21 goals in 28 games. On top of its league dominance, Real recently eliminated PSG in the UEFA Champions League Round of 16 as well (3-2 aggregate).

Real is led by French F Karim Benzema who has scored 22 goals across 25 appearances this season. It has won five straight El Clasico matches.

Barcelona has been on fire as of late with 14 goals in its last four La Liga matches. On top of an electric attack, Barcelona has allowed just 29 goals in 27 matches this season. It currently sits in 4th place on the La Liga table.

Barcelona is led in scoring by Dutch F Memphis Depay who has 10 goals on the season. Midseason transfer F Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has 5 goals in 6 games as well.

[tipico]

Prediction

Real Madrid 2, Barcelona 1

Money line (ML)

LEAN to REAL MADRID (+125).

Barcelona’s recent resurgence has helped make Real valuable on the money line.

Real has the best defense in La Liga and has won five straight El Clasico matches across all competitions. Along with being at home, where it has 10 wins and 4 draws without a single loss, Real should have the edge.

Barcelona is just 1-1-1 against La Liga’s other top-2 sides and has lost to Real in both matches this season.

Over/Under (O/U)

BET the OVER 2.5 (-117).

It’s a bit pricier, but it’s the safe side.

The last three El Clasico matchups in league play have all gone over 2.5 goals. There have also been an average of 4 goals per game in the 2 previous matchups, both this season (one in league play and the other in the Supercopa).

While Real’s defense is terrific, Barcelona with Aubameyang has taken its offense to the next level. In league play, Barcelona has scored 4 goals in four of its last six matches.

There should be a plethora of goals scored in what the star striker called “the biggest match in the world”.
