Full Analysis
Estadi Mallorca Son Moix plays host to Mallorca versus Real Sociedad in La Liga, Regular Season - 25. Kick-off: Sunday 18 February 2024 at 17:30 UTC.
Form & Momentum
Mallorca have collected 1.30 PPG across 10 La Liga outings this season: 3W 4D 3L. Last five: D D L L W. They are averaging 0.80 goals per game and conceding 1.10 — a modest attacking output that tempers optimism on the Over 2.5 market. 3 clean sheets from 10 outings provides some defensive foundation. This season is still relatively young for Mallorca, so this record blends games from this season and last.
Mallorca's home record at Estadi Mallorca Son Moix: 3W 6D 1L from 10 La Liga appearances (1.50 PPG). At home they are averaging 1.10 goals scored and 0.90 conceded per game. BTTS has landed in 60% of their home matches — a rate that supports the Yes angle in this fixture.
Real Sociedad's overall La Liga record this term: 2W 6D 2L from 10 games (1.20 PPG). Last five: L W D D L. Their scoring rate of 0.70 per game is modest, conceding 0.50 — not a side to back heavily on the Over 2.5 from their form alone. Defensively, 0.50 goals conceded per game is elite-level — a side this difficult to score against is a real threat to Over 2.5 and BTTS Yes. 6 clean sheets from 10 games (60%) is an exceptional defensive record — they are keeping clean sheets more often than not. Both teams have scored in just 30% of their games, reflecting a regular tendency to keep or record clean sheets. This season is still relatively young for Real Sociedad, so this record blends games from this season and last.
On the road, Real Sociedad have gone 4W 4D 2L from 10 away fixtures this term (1.60 PPG). Away from home they average 1.30 goals scored and 0.80 conceded per game. 5 away clean sheets from 10 games (50%) — they are as difficult to score against on the road as they are at home.
A near-identical PPG reading — 1.30 for Mallorca, 1.20 for Real Sociedad — means the form record is uninstructive on result selection. The goals and market sections will carry greater evidential weight.
Head-to-Head
Real Sociedad hold the superior head-to-head record in this fixture, claiming 4 wins from 5 meetings. The hosts have won just 0 times in that span.
Scoring has been limited when these teams have met. The 5 previous contests averaged 1.4 goals, making the Under 2.5 the historically backed angle in the goals market. The most recent clash, on 21 Oct 2023, ended 0–1 with Real Sociedad winning.
It is worth noting that Real Sociedad have a superior record in this fixture despite their visitor status — 4 wins from 5 meetings. Home advantage alone is not a sufficient reason to dismiss that track record.
Trading
Mallorca half-time and goal-timing data (62 games, 31 at home): they score before half-time in 52% of fixtures in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 76% of the time; BTTS occurs in 42% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 23% of games (home games); they fail to score in 39% of games.
Real Sociedad half-time and goal-timing data (62 games, 31 at away): they score before half-time in 74% of fixtures in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 60% of the time; BTTS occurs in 45% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 42% of games (away games); they keep a clean sheet 40% of the time.
BTTS rates are mixed from the trading data — Mallorca 40% versus Real Sociedad 47%; no strong lean in either direction. Under 2.5 goals has backing from the in-play data — both teams register low Over 2.5 rates (Mallorca 31% | Real Sociedad 37%).
Poisson Model
The Poisson distribution model projects Mallorca 0.81 xG and Real Sociedad 0.96 xG. These expected goals figures are the primary input: they feed a goal-probability matrix across all scoreline combinations to derive the result and market probabilities below. Underlying strength ratings: Mallorca attack 0.876 / defence 0.880 | Real Sociedad attack 0.973 / defence 0.686. League average goals — home 1.353 / away 1.126. Real Sociedad's defence strength of 0.686 is below average — they are conceding at a rate that inflates the home xG figure. Data: 62 Mallorca games / 62 Real Sociedad games used (CurrentSeason).
Result probabilities: Mallorca 27% | Draw 38% | Real Sociedad 35%. Fair-value odds: Mallorca 3.70 | Draw 2.63 | Real Sociedad 2.86. The draw (38%) is the Poisson-preferred outcome — neither side is more likely to win than to draw, making draw-inclusive markets the most model-aligned approach.
Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 26% | BTTS probability 37% | Total xG 1.78. Under 2.5 is the strongly backed market at 74% probability — total xG of 1.78 sits well below the 2.5 threshold. The model is projecting a tight, low-scoring match based on both sides' defensive quality. BTTS probability of 37% is moderate — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.
Final Verdict
The Poisson model's preferred outcome is the draw at 38% — neither side is more likely to win than to draw. Draw-inclusive markets are the most model-aligned approach. Home win at 27% and away win at 35% are close enough that backing either outright carries significant draw exposure.
The Poisson model projects 1.78 xG in total — Under 2.5 at 26% — strong confidence, supported by form averaging 2.0 goals per game and H2H averaging 1.4 goals per meeting.
Poisson assigns a 37% probability to BTTS No based on the attack/defence strength model. Form rates are neutral: Mallorca 60% | Real Sociedad 50%.

📝 Match Report
How It Unfolded
Real Sociedad beat Mallorca 1-2 at Estadi Mallorca Son Moix, Regular Season - 25, in the La Liga. The remainder of the report sets that outcome against the pre-match model, the markets and the teams' data profiles.
The Model vs The Result
The Poisson model went into this projecting Mallorca 0.81 xG and Real Sociedad 0.96 xG, a combined 1.78. The scoreboard read 1-2 for 3 actual goals. Real Sociedad outscored their 0.96 projection by 1.0. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Mallorca attack 0.88 / defence 0.88 against Real Sociedad attack 0.97 / defence 0.69, drawn from 62/62 games (CurrentSeason).
On the result, the model split it Mallorca 27% | Draw 38% | Real Sociedad 35%, with the draw its most likely call at 38%. The actual Real Sociedad win had been the model's second-ranked read at 35%, so the result diverged from the top call without being a shock.
Goals & Markets
The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 26%. The game delivered 3, so it went over — against the model's lean. Over 1.5 had been 56% and landed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 37% and the match saw both sides score — a miss on BTTS. Historically the two sides average 34% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Mallorca 31%, Real Sociedad 37%), a base rate that pointed the other way from today's over. Their combined BTTS history runs at 44%, which did not match the both-scored outcome.
Trading Patterns vs Reality
Mallorca's trading profile (62 games, 31 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 40% of their matches — today it did; they keep a clean sheet 31% of the time, and conceded here.
Real Sociedad's trading profile (62 games, 31 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 47% of their matches — today it did; they keep a clean sheet 40% of the time, and conceded here.
Form vs Result
On form, Real Sociedad arrived the stronger side — 1.74 PPG against 1.18. Form held, and they took the win. Mallorca (home/away splits) shipped 2 against a 0.71 concession average — a leakier day than usual.
Verdict
Grading the result against the stored data, 1 of 4 pre-match signals came in: result (miss), Over 2.5 (miss), BTTS (miss), form (hit). This one broke away from the data — most of the pre-match signals were overturned by how the ninety minutes actually played out.
