Five stats about Barça v Mallorca
On Saturday 7 February 4.15pm CET, the match between Barça and Mallorca will kick off at the Spotify Camp Nou, with potential consequences in both the top and bottom half of the table. Barça are leaders, one point ahead of Real Madrid, and a win is needed to apply pressure and at least maintain their advantage against their traditional rivals. When it comes to Mallorca, they will be looking to move further way from the relegation zone after winning two of the last three games in the competition.
Here are some stats ahead of the game between the blaugranes and the vermilions:
Home comforts
FC Barcelona have won all their home games in LaLiga. Flick's side have played at three different stadiums (Johan Cruyff, Montjuïc and Spotify Camp Nou), with every game ending in victory. What's more, the blaugranes have scored 31 and only conceded five at home.
Most attempts hitting the woodwork
Barça are way out in front across all the major European leagues for hitting the woodwork. The attacking approach of Flick's side sees them create many chances and sometimes they hit the frame of the goal. The blaugranes have hit the woodwork 22 times in LaLiga, the most being six by Ferran Torres. Manchester United are the closest team with 18.
Lamine Yamal the guiding light for Barça
The Catalan is going through a great spell. After his most recent goal against Albacete, the forward has now scored in four games in a row in all competitions, making it 14 goals and 12 assists this season. The Barça number 10 is a real difference-maker in attack.
Muriqi the threat for Mallorca
The 'pirate' is the main offensive weapon for Jagoba Arrasate's side. The Balearic Islanders' number nine is a real headache for central defenders, given his ability to hold up the ball and find the back of the net. He has scored 15 of the 28 goals his team have scored this season, matching his best streak with Mallorca in the 2022/23 season. What's more, he has been involved in three goals in the last four games against the blaugranes (two goals and one assist).
Good streak against Mallorca
The Mallorcans always make things difficult for Barça, especially at the Son Moix stadium. Games between the sides are always tough and can prove unpredictable. All the same, Barça have fared well against Mallorca. Of the last 19 LaLiga games between the teams, Barça have won 17 and drawn two, the longest ever unbeaten run against the Balearic Islanders.
