Mallorca vs. Barcelona Picks
Mallorca’s record vs Barcelona speaks for itself. Whilst they have managed some draws at home against the champions, a result looks hard to come by.
For Barcelona, they have strengthened in adding Marcus Rashford, whilst also returning to full fitness. Arguably, this side is better than the one that won the title last year.
No two ways about it, this game is all Barcelona.
Other markets include Robert Lewandowski to score two or more goals, Lamine Yamal to score and assist, Pedri to get two or more assists and Raphinha to have two or more shots on target.
