Team Updates
Barcelona’s head coach Hansi Flick has shown faith in Ferran Torres to lead the attack in Lewandowski’s absence. The loss of their star forward creates uncertainty, as many players, including Frenkie de Jong and Pedri, are also managing fitness concerns.
Meanwhile, Mallorca is poised to challenge for a European spot with an effective defensive strategy evidenced by their strong performances recently. It will be a test for them to balance aggressive offense while thwarting Barcelona’s overwhelming attack.
Prediction
Despite Lewandowski’s injury, Barcelona’s rich talent should help them secure a 3-1 victory over Mallorca, who will struggle to hold against their offensive pressure.
