Barcelona return to Los Angeles League action on Tuesday against RCD Mallorca, days later suffering a shock 2-1 defeat to Las Palmas over the weekend. The Blaugrana maintain Los Angeles League supremacy, but Real Madrid have secured farmland for Hansi Flick’s men in the name race. The hosts come into this match having crushed Valencia to sit in sixth place at the moment.
Jagoba Arrasate’s team was left behind by Luis Rioja before Cyle Larin and Abdón Prats became a team. Although Mallorca have not beaten Barça since 2009, they drew last season and the Catalan team has recently been out of form with just one point from their last three games in the Spanish league.
The defeat at home against Las Palmas for Flick’s men means that Real’s victory over Getafe closed the gap at the top. Barça travels to the always complicated Real Betis, so they want to be successful again before losing their top spot completely. Despite their wobble at home, the UEFA Champions League is going quite well with four wins in five games to sit third in the league division on 12 points.

story so far
Mallorca is sixth with only 15 goals scored and 13 conceded so far this season. That defense ranks third in the Los Angeles League and Arrasate’s team has crushed Las Palmas and Valencia before reaching this one. Mallorca is just two points behind Athletic Club in fourth place, but needs to score more goals if it wants to compete for a place in the Ecu. Barça leads the Los Angeles League with 11 wins, but is actually only one point behind in front of Real, who has one game less. Flick’s troops lead the Los Angeles League in goals with 43, but have conceded 16 and four in their last two games were abandoned.
