Pre-Match Analysis
Real Sociedad and Mallorca meet at Reale Arena in La Liga (matchday 10). This fixture gets under way on Saturday 21 October 2023 at 14:00 UK time.
Form & Momentum
Real Sociedad have collected 1.80 PPG across their last 10 games: 5W 3D 2L. Last five: L W W W L. Offensively they are averaging 1.90 goals per game, with 1.30 conceded. 3 clean sheets from 10 outings (30%). Both teams have scored in 70% of their games — a high BTTS rate that carries real weight in the goals markets.
Real Sociedad's form when playing at home: 7W 3D 0L across their last 10 home games (2.40 PPG). They are averaging 2.30 goals per home game — a prolific scoring rate in front of their own fans. Both teams have scored in 70% of their home games — an outstanding BTTS rate that is a key data point for this fixture. Their home PPG of 2.40 is noticeably stronger than their overall 1.80 — Real Sociedad are significantly better at home than their overall form suggests.
Mallorca's record over their last 10 games: 2W 5D 3L (1.10 PPG). Last five: W L D D D. They are scoring at 1.50 per game and conceding 1.50. 3 clean sheets from 10 outings (30%). Both teams have scored in 60% of their games — a noteworthy BTTS rate that supports the Yes market.
Mallorca away from home: 2W 2D 6L from their last 10 away games — 0.80 PPG on the road. Away from home they average 1.20 goals scored and 2.20 conceded per game. BTTS has landed in 60% of their away games — meaningful support for the Yes angle in this specific context.
Form favours the hosts. Real Sociedad's 1.80 PPG return is 0.70 points per game ahead of Mallorca's 1.10 — a genuine gap in recent results that provides a statistically grounded case for backing the home side.
In terms of goals, both squads have been finding the net consistently (from Real Sociedad's last 10 home games and Mallorca's last 10 away games) — Real Sociedad have seen both teams score in 70% of their games, Mallorca in 60%. That combined rate is a strong statistical case for BTTS Yes as a standalone play.
Head-to-Head
The head-to-head record in our data favours Real Sociedad, who have won 3 of the 4 H2H matches we hold against Mallorca — Mallorca have 0 wins, with 1 draw.
The 4 H2H matches in our data have been tight, averaging just 1.5 goals per game — a meaningful input for the Under 2.5 market. The most recent of those, on 12 Mar 2023, ended Real Sociedad 1–1 Mallorca — a draw.
The head-to-head data gives Real Sociedad an edge — 3 wins from 4 H2H matches is worth weighing, particularly if the form picture is inconclusive.
Trading & In-Play
Real Sociedad — key trading statistics (last 47 games, 24 of them at home): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 75% of their matches in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 64% of the time; two or more arrive in the second half on 54% of those occasions; they lead at the break 49% of the time; of the 8 games they trailed at half-time, they recovered to draw or win 25%; BTTS occurs in 54% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 38% of games (home games).
Mallorca — key trading statistics (last 47 games, 24 of them away): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 75% of their matches in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 83% of the time; of the 14 games they trailed at half-time, they recovered to draw or win 36%; BTTS occurs in 46% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 46% of games (away games); they fail to score in 32% of games.
BTTS rates are mixed from the trading data — Real Sociedad 49% versus Mallorca 43%; 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 (Real Sociedad 38% | Mallorca 34%).
Poisson Model
The Poisson distribution model projects Real Sociedad 2.71 xG and Mallorca 1.39 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: Real Sociedad attack 1.356 / defence 1.054 | Mallorca attack 1.096 / defence 1.290. League average goals — home 1.550 / away 1.204. Real Sociedad carry an above-average attack rating of 1.356 — their 2.71 xG reflects attacking quality above the league norm. Mallorca's defence rating of 1.290 (above 1 = concedes more than average) is pushing Real Sociedad's projected output up. Data: built from Real Sociedad's last 47 games and Mallorca's last 47.
Result probabilities: Real Sociedad 65% | Draw 18% | Mallorca 17%. Fair-value odds: Real Sociedad 1.54 | Draw 5.60 | Mallorca 5.80. The model has a clear lean to Real Sociedad (65%) — a 47pp gap over the next-most-likely outcome reflects a meaningful statistical advantage.
Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 78% | BTTS Yes probability 71% | Total xG 4.10. Over 2.5 is the model's clear signal at 78% — a total xG of 4.10 means the expected score alone exceeds the 2.5 threshold, making the Over not just likely but structurally supported by both sides' attack/defence profiles. BTTS Yes at 71% — both xG figures (2.71 / 1.39) are high enough that each side is projected to find the net.
Verdict
The Poisson model's primary lean is Real Sociedad at 65% — clear model lean. Recent form and the head-to-head data both align with the Poisson read — multi-source corroboration increases confidence in this selection. Draw No Bet is worth pricing alongside the outright: 18% draw probability makes the stalemate a live outcome even at this conviction level.
On the goals line, Poisson's 4.10 combined xG gives a 78% probability to Over 2.5 — mixed conviction, supported by recent form (Real Sociedad's last 10 home games and Mallorca's last 10 away games) averaging 3.5 goals per game — though the H2H data averaging only 1.5 goals per game across 4 H2H matches points the other way.
The Poisson model's BTTS call is Yes at 71%. Form rates corroborate — both teams scored in: Real Sociedad 70% (last 10 home games) | Mallorca 60% (last 10 away games).

📈 Form Insight
The Form Picture
Real Sociedad's recent record stands at 25W 11D 11L from 47 games, a 1.83 PPG return, with L-W-W-W-L in the last five.
Mallorca, meanwhile, have gone 15W 13D 19L across 47 games — 1.23 PPG, with W-L-D-D-D in their last five.

Mallorca's away record stands at 5W 5D 14L across their last 24 away games, a 0.83 PPG haul. That's a step down from their 1.23 PPG overall record — away form has been the weaker part of Mallorca's recent record.

📝 Match Report
How It Unfolded
Real Sociedad beat Mallorca 1-0 at Reale Arena, Regular Season - 10, in the La Liga. That is the final score; the rest of this report grades it against what the data forecast beforehand.
The Model vs The Result
The Poisson model went into this projecting Real Sociedad 2.71 xG and Mallorca 1.39 xG, a combined 4.10. The scoreboard read 1-0 for 1 actual goal. Real Sociedad fell 1.7 short of their projected output. Mallorca landed 1.4 under their projected return. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Real Sociedad attack 1.36 / defence 1.05 against Mallorca attack 1.10 / defence 1.29, drawn from 47/47 games (CurrentSeason).
On the result, the model split it Real Sociedad 65% | Draw 18% | Mallorca 17%, with Real Sociedad to win its most likely call at 65%. The scoreboard confirmed the model's leading pick.
Goals & Markets
The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 78%. The game delivered 1, so it stayed under — a miss for the goals model. Over 1.5 had been 92% and missed. Over 3.5 was 59% and did not. On both teams to score, the model sat at 71% and the match did not — a miss on BTTS. Historically the two sides average 36% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Real Sociedad 38%, Mallorca 34%), a base rate that agreed with today's under. Their combined BTTS history runs at 46%, which matched the one-sided outcome.
Trading Patterns vs Reality
Real Sociedad's trading profile (47 games, 24 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 49% of their matches — today it did not; they keep a clean sheet 38% of the time, and duly kept one.
Mallorca's trading profile (47 games, 24 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 43% of their matches — today it did not; they keep a clean sheet 32% of the time, and conceded here; they fail to score in 32% of games, a blank that repeated today.
Form vs Result
On form, Real Sociedad arrived the stronger side — 1.83 PPG against 1.23. The form guide was vindicated by the result. Real Sociedad (home/away splits) conceded 0 against a 1.00 average — tighter than their form line. Mallorca (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 1.00 scoring average — below par going forward.
Verdict
Grading the result against the stored data, 2 of 4 pre-match signals came in: result (hit), Over 2.5 (miss), BTTS (miss), form (hit). A mixed scorecard — the data caught the broad shape of the game but not every market.
