Barcelona is going to start this La Liga journey with the match against Mallorca. Barcelona is definitely a bit lucky that they are not facing a strong team in the first match. Mallorca as a team is a very weak opponent.
We have seen that Barcelona's overall performance is also very strong this season in their friendly matches. Barcelona won against Como by a margin of 5-0 in the Joan Gamper Trophy. Moreover, Barcelona has won every friendly match by a large margin.
Barcelona's record of losing points against Mallorca is very low. We have seen Barcelona win in 14 of the last 15 matches against this team. Only one match has been drawn. So the possibility of Barcelona losing points in tomorrow's match is very low.
This is still a fairly easy match for Barcelona, and they are clearly the favorites here, especially given their performance last season, their pre-season matches, and of course the Joan Gamper Trophy they won recently, which proves that they are still in good shape and consistent in their gameplay.
Although this match may be slightly different from a friendly match, they are still heavily favored in this game, and it could actually be an easy victory for them.
Not to underestimate Mallorca, but they have just returned and are now a promoted club, so in terms of player quality and mentality, it is clearly a bit difficult for Mallorca to put up a meaningful fight, unless their strategy is to defend from start to finish, which might give them a glimmer of hope.
