The 2021-22 edition of La Liga is back in action with another round of matches this weekend as Xavi's Barcelona lock horns with Mallorca in an important clash at the Camp Nou on Sunday.

Barcelona vs Mallorca Preview

Mallorca are currently in 16th place in the La Liga standings and have struggled to step up to the plate over the course of the season. The away side edged Deportivo Alaves to a 2-1 victory last week and will need to work hard to achieve a similar result in this fixture.

Barcelona, on the other hand, are in third place in the league table at the moment and have not been at their best this season. The Catalan giants suffered a shock 1-0 defeat at the hands of Rayo Vallecano in their previous game and will need to bounce back this weekend.
