Team Analysis
Mallorca, promoted in the previous season, managed to secure survival last season, and their performance has improved slightly this season. They currently have a record of 1 win, 2 draws, and 2 losses, placing them 12th in the league. The biggest issue for the team is their weak attacking ability, averaging only 0.5 goals per game. Fortunately, their defensive capability is relatively solid, with an average of less than 1 goal conceded per game. In their most recent home match, they were narrowly defeated by Villarreal, and they have failed to win any of their two home games this season.

Real Sociedad, which was active in the upper-middle tier of the league last season and represented La Liga in the UEFA Champions League, has experienced a significant decline this season. They currently have a record of 1 win, 1 draw, and 3 losses, placing them just outside the relegation zone. In contrast to their strong away performance, their home form has been poor, with a disappointing start of 3 consecutive losses at home. Despite having several valuable players, the team is still in the early stages of adapting this season, but they have a solid foundation.

Odds Analysis
The odds provider initially set the line at a "pick'em" with high odds for Mallorca as the home team, and the odds have since slightly decreased to even money for both sides. For the total goals, the line was set at 1.75 with even money, indicating a very low threshold for over 1.75 goals. This low threshold suggests that the odds provider views the likelihood of goals being scored by both teams as very low. Considering the attacking and defensive capabilities of both teams, as well as Real Sociedad's away performance, the match is likely to be a tight contest with few goals scored.

Pick: Under 2 goals
