Mallorcavs.Barcelona

The Catalan outfit remain top of the La Liga table despite their recent wobble, picking up 34 points from their opening 15 matches of the campaign, which has left them two points clear of second-placed Atletico Madrid.

Mallorca, meanwhile, will enter this match off the back of successive wins over Las Palmas and Valencia, and a strong season to date has seen Jagoba Arrasate's side pick up 24 points from 15 games to sit fifth in the division.

Here, Sports Mole takes an in-depth look at the head-to-head record and previous meetings between the two sides ahead of their contest at Estadi Mallorca Son Moix.

Head-to-head record

Previous meetings: 73

Mallorca wins: 17

Draws: 12

Barcelona wins: 44

Barcelona and Mallorca have locked horns on 73 occasions throughout history, and Barcelona comfortably lead the head-to-head record, having posted 44 wins to Mallorca's 17, while there have also been 12 draws.

Lionel Messi is the all-time leading goalscorer in this fixture, having scored 16 times against Mallorca during his time with Barcelona, while Samuel Eto'o, who turned out for both clubs, managed 12 goals in this contest.

Mallorca held Barcelona to a 2-2 draw in the corresponding match during the 2023-24 campaign, but the Pirates have not managed to overcome the Catalan team since May 2009.

Barcelona have been utterly dominant in this fixture of late, winning 12 of their last 13 meetings in Spain's top flight, while they have only lost 13 of their previous 64 games with Mallorca in La Liga.

Mallorca can take encouragement from their result against Barcelona at home last season, but they have only managed to beat Tuesday's opponents once at home in the league since October 2000.

Mallorca's best-ever winning run against Barcelona came between November 1999 and October 2000, when they posted three straight victories, and it remains to be seen whether that is ever achieved again.
