9:22pm, 16 August 2025【Football】

Yesterday, the Premier League opening match Liverpool 4-2 Bournemouth was seen. Liverpool beat the opponent dramatically, and his strength was crushed. He led 2 goals in the first half, but he still had to make up his life. Slot replaced Endo and played the fullback with two goals from this point of conceding both goals. Fortunately, Chiesa and Salah scored goals in the last moment. Liverpool had hidden worries in the new season.

Private dish Rennes in Ligue 1 1-0 Marseille, which is a bit regrettable. Rennes plays one more player most of the time, and the scene cannot be defeated for a long time, and in the end, Rennes won the final victory. This game has a bit of the script. La Liga Villarreal Oviedo's 2-0 results were correct, there was no big suspense in this game, and the strength gap was not too strong; Girona 1-3 Vallecano, Girona lost the ball in two low-level mistakes in the 20 minutes of the game, and the goalkeeper was overwhelmed by the red card, and there was no suspense in the half game.

La Liga: Mallorca vs. Barcelona

Tactical disassembly: Three core points of offensive and defensive game

1. Comparison of tactical systems

Mallorca: Mallorca's tactical system in the new season has not changed, with 4-2-3-1 low defense and counterattack. Last season, the teams faced Real Sama in 5-4-1 formation. In the two rounds, the average ball possession rate is only 30%, and the scene is very passive. If the strength is insufficient, even if the five-guard system gives strong teams an offensive limit, it is not ideal. Last season, Barcelona had only 20% possession rate to concede one goal, which is already a very successful defense. When encountering Barcelona in the first game of the new season, whether Mallorca can score points still depends on its defensive performance. The team has limited investment in offense, and it is difficult to create difficulties for Barcelona on the offensive end. Barcelona: Barcelona's 4-3-3 pass control system can achieve high-level oppression against mid- and lower-level teams in the league. Apart from dialogue with Real Madrid's two big players, Barcelona's average ball control rate can exceed 70% per game against other teams, which is once close to 80%. Facing Mallorca, who is playing a bus at a low position, Barcelona has sufficient opportunities to create a goal threat. The test for Barcelona in this game is to break the efficiency of intensive defense. The team's defense is stable, and the opponent's offensive investment is small. Barcelona has no worries about defense this game, and its tactical advantages are very obvious.

2. Key Pivot

Mallorca: Mallorca averaged 46.6% of the ball possession last season, scored 0.9 goals per game, and conceded 1.2 goals per game. The team's weak offense is an obvious shortcoming. For mid- and downstream teams on the defensive end, Mallorca's performance is already very good. Mallorca won 7 wins, 6 draws and 6 losses at home last season, and her home performance was average, but she had only had one draw in the past five seasons at home. Barcelona: Barcelona averaged 69% ball possession last season, scored 2.7 goals per game, and conceded 1.0 goals per game, with excellent offense and defense. The only challenge for Barcelona in this away game against Mallorca in this game is the efficiency of breaking intensive defense. Barcelona lost 14 wins, 3 draws and 2 losses in the away league last season, losing to Real Sociedad and Osasuna away. They tied against Getafe, Betty and Celta. Against the defensive team, Barcelona still has a little deficit in offense.

3. The winner and loser predicted

Mallorca: The team's offense still needs to rely on the performance of Lalin and Muric. The two scored 7 goals each last season was the team's first scoring point. Platz and Takuma Asano's offense performed mediocrely. Midfield veteran Rodriguez scored 11 goals last season, and Dader contributed 6 assists. Most of the team's goals came from these people, so whether they can create a threat to Barcelona's defense depends on the performance of these people. Mohika, Railo and Lato performed well on the defensive end to help the team become the sixth least conceded goals in the league, but the effect of facing strong teams is not good at the front line and lacks the ability to fight tough battles. Mallorca's defense still has major hidden dangers in this game.

Barcelona: The forward trident Lewandowski Rafinia Yamal teamed up to score nearly 100 goals, Ferrantors also contributed 19 goals, and the team's offensive firepower is still dominated by these four people in the new season. Midfielder Fermin and Pedro have good offensive data, and they all participated in 15+ goals. Garvey performed a little dull on the offensive end last season. The overall condition of the defense line is stable, with Conde, Barde and Martin also contributed 22 assists. Barcelona has no worries about the offense in this game, and there is no big obstacle in the defense line.

In-depth observation: X factors that may affect the situation

1. Injury bomb:

Mallorca: Midfielder Sam Costa was injured, Muscarel's red card was suspended, and the team's midfield combat effectiveness would be greatly affected. Barcelona: Lewandowski's injury has a slight impact on the offensive end, but there are still plenty of options to ensure firepower at the center position, and Ter Stegen lacks injury.

2. Game analysis:

Mallorca has not won more than 10 games against Barcelona in the past, and the strength gap is large, and the team's lineup has not changed in the new season. The main problem in this game is that the offense is extremely weak. Last season, the average goal per game was less than one goal. Although the defense performed well, it still broke the defense with a strong team. Facing the Barcelona striker, which had a complete lineup, created 100 goals last season, Mallorca's defense pressure is significant. This game does not have the ability to create surprises at all, so it is not advisable to look forward to it.

Barcelona continues to show stable state and offensive ability in the preseason. The new season aims to defend the title. At the beginning of the season, they mostly encounter mid- and lower-level teams. This is a good opportunity for Barcelona to grab points. In the first game of the season, facing Mallorca, who has scored the most stable points in the past, Barcelona is not at risk of losing points. Even if Lewandowski is absent, Torres and Rashford have sufficient offensive capabilities. The offensive and defensive advantages in this game are not surprising.

3. Referee Scale: José Luis Munuuera Montero, on-duty referee, averaged 4.69 yellow cards per game. The referee was decisive in playing cards. Last season, Barcelona played away against Mallorca. The two teams received a total of 7 yellow cards, and the foul was serious.

Data Analysis: Mallorca makes negative, score entertainment: 1-3, 0-2
