Barcelona are going through patches of form and struggle and this really has affected their reputation a bit, and especially of their manager. They need to close out their campaign in style, possibly with a perfect winning record.
With arch rivals Real Madrid showing a 15-point lead at the top, this has not been a good season for the Catalans. And to add insult to injury they had to take part in the Europa League and even there they were not able to go all the way.
If they are to regain their old mojo back, they will have to raise their level. There simply is no other go for Xavi’s men.
In that regard this upcoming encounter could help them. They are pitted against one of the weakest teams in the league, Mallorca.
This team is barely staying above the relegation cut off and most importantly they are on a long losing streak on the road. They have been conceding goals in plenty for quite some time now and to further complicate problems for them, they have a poor head-to-head record against this opponent.
By the looks of things expect a win for Barcelona this weekend.
