Match Details: August 16, 2025 | Estadi Mallorca Son Moix | LA LIGA | 18:30 GMT

Barcelona kick off their La Liga campaign at Mallorca, aiming to become the first team to retain the title since 2018/19.

Mallorca finished 10th last season, just four points shy of Europe, but their campaign was a tale of two halves, 30 points from the first 19 games before fading away. They’ve added Pablo Torre from Barcelona and looked sharp in pre-season, but any push for Europe will hinge on results at Son Moix, where they’ve lost only two of their last eight league outings (W3, D3).

Barcelona’s summer has once again been dominated by financial headaches, delaying the registrations of goalkeeper Joan García and loanee Marcus Rashford. Their newly renovated Camp Nou isn’t ready, so Hansi Flick’s men will play at least their first three league fixtures away from home, which may suit them, given they’ve won their last seven La Liga away games, their best run since 2021.

Key Betting Tip: Barcelona to win at 1.5 odds (Ladbrokes) represents excellent value based on the tip provided by our team of in-house tipsters.

Mallorca vs Barcelona Team News

Mallorca: Pablo Torre has joined from Barcelona, and while he only played a small handful of games for the champions last season, he was an important part of Girona's history making side of a couple of years ago while on loan.

Barcelona: Barcelona are prioritising the registration of £21m signing Joan García ahead of Saturday’s La Liga opener at Mallorca, with the goalkeeper expected to start despite paperwork delays.

Longtime first choice keeper Ter Stegen is set to be sideline for around four months after surgery. Should Barca be unable to register García in time, Wojciech Szczesny is likely to play against Mallorca.

On-loan forward Marcus Rashford, however, may have to wait for his debut. Robert Lewandowski is ruled out through injury.
