Real Mallorca vs Barca Preview

Usually a visit to Mallorca should not give us much trouble, but not this season. Real Mallorca is having one of the most stunning seasons and currently lies at the fourth position. Their home record has been impeccable this season with losing only one of their home games. But Real Madrid, Valencia and Barca has not visited Mallorca. Earlier this season FC Barcelona managed to beat Mallorca comfortably when they visited Camp Nou. Our last visit to Mallorca ended in a defeat, but that should not be a worry as we only send a second string side after securing the title - FC Barcelona Loses First Match as Champions. Barca fans has been handed good news with both Pique and Xavi getting the green signal from the medical team. Guardiola has included both in the squad which will travel to Mallorca - Valdés, Pinto, Márquez, Milito, Pedro, Puyol, Jonathan, Bojan, Touré, Chygrynskiy, Maxwell, Xavi, Jeffren, Alves, Piqué, Iniesta, Keita, Ibrahimovic, Henry, Messi.
