Real Sociedad vs Mallorca Prediction: San Sebastian scuffle set to be low-scoring

Real Sociedad’s terrible end to last season has carried over into the new campaign and they face another team in desperate need of improvement, Mallorca, at the Reale Arena on Wednesday (20:30 BST).

Sociedad won just three of their last 22 games last term and they have failed to win any of their five fixtures this season, while Mallorca are yet to record a win in 2025/26. Read on for our Real Sociedad vs Mallorca predictions, as well as the latest team news and match odds.

Team News

Sociedad have no fresh injury concerns, meaning Yangel Herrera, Orri Oskarsson and Inaki Ruperez remain their only absentees. 

Aritz Elustondo, Carlos Soler and Goncalo Guedes are among those pushing to start after Real’s poor showing in a 3-1 defeat at Betis on Friday.

Dani Rodriguez could return after being internally suspended by Mallorca but Javier Llabres is injured and Marash Kumbulla is a doubt.

Real Sociedad vs Mallorca Odds

Sociedad are 4/5 favourites for this clash, with Mallorca 18/5 and the draw priced at 5/2. 

Goals could come at a premium and the over 2.5 mark is available at 11/10, with both teams to score evens. 

Under 2.5 goals @ 8/11

Sociedad and Mallorca both have just two points to their name and have netted only five goals apiece all season, so a San Sebastian spectacle would be a real surprise. 

Mallorca are a notoriously stubborn side on their travels, with 13 of their 19 away games last term featuring fewer than three goals, and it is hard to see an out-of-sorts Real breaking through too often.

Ten of the last 11 meetings have featured fewer than three strikes and this pair, both desperate for a first win of the campaign, look set to spend most of Wednesday frustrating each other again.

Vedat Muriqi to score a header @ 15/2

Because the goals are unlikely to flow in San Sebastian, there are some juicy prices available for the few natural goalgetters to find the net.

Mikel Oyarzabal appeals for the hosts but with Mallorca in slightly better form than their hosts over the past few months, Vedat Muriqi looks like the man to side with. 

The Kosovan forward has scored four of the Pirates’ five goals this term and he could add to that impressive tally this week.

While he is already a decent price to score, it could pay to enhance the profit by backing his goal to come via his head.

Three of Muriqi’s four goals have been headers and he towers over a relatively small Real backline.
