The Basque outfit, who are sixth in the table, suffered a 2-1 defeat to Atletico Madrid before the international break, while 15th-placed Mallorca played out a 1-1 draw with Valencia in their last match.
We say: Real Sociedad 1-0 Mallorca
Despite their difficulties in terms of winning matches this season, Mallorca have proved difficult to beat, and this will not be a straightforward match for Real Sociedad. Nevertheless, we are expecting the home side to navigate their way to an important three points in Saturday's fixture.

Real Madrid will aim to post a fifth straight win in all competitions when they resume their La Liga campaign with a trip to Sevilla on Saturday evening.
Los Blancos are currently top of the table, picking up 24 points from their opening nine matches, while Sevilla sit down in 14th position, collecting only eight points from as many games in 2023-24.
We say: Sevilla 1-2 Real Madrid
Sevilla's last league win over Real Madrid came in September 2018, losing eight of the last nine top-flight meetings between the two sides. It is very difficult to back anything other than an away success in this match, although we are expecting it to be close in terms of the scoreline.
