Los Piratas came out on top of 1-0 home result when these teams faced off in September and stole a penalty shootout victory in the Copa del Rey when they last visited the Reale Arena in February 2024.

That spells a difficult task for Mallorca, the club co-owned by American sports icons like Steve Nash, Steve Kerr and Stuart Holden.
Arrasate will be pleased to have defender Antonio Raillo and midfielder Samu Costa back from suspension this weekend after both missed the recent defeat to Celta.
