"Real Sociedad Team News Picking up a hamstring injury against Villarreal on August 24th, Sociedad will be unable to call upon summer recruit and former Girona midfielder Yangel Herrera on Wednesday night. Likewise, academy graduate Inaki Ruperez is still sidelined with a long-term knee issue. Despite registering just a single La Liga strike so far this season, attacking talisman Mikel Oyarzabal will play a leading role in the final third."
"As for the visitors, while Mallorca might have sprung a real upset last season as they secured a top-half finish among Spain's elite, the Pirates have come crashing back down to earth in a nightmare fashion. Getting the new campaign underway with a routine 3-0 drumming at home against defending champions Barcelona, Jagoba Arrasate's have also put just a pair of points on the board from any of their first five La Liga appearances."
Both Real Sociedad and Mallorca have struggled in the 2025/26 La Liga season, each collecting only two points from five matches. Real Sociedad lost 3-1 at Real Betis and 2-1 at home to Real Madrid, sit in the relegation zone, and face heavy pressure on manager Sergio Francisco. Sociedad will miss Yangel Herrera with a hamstring injury and long-term absentee Inaki Ruperez. Mikel Oyarzabal remains the primary attacking threat, while loan signing Duje Caleta-Car will start in defence. Mallorca began with a 3-0 home defeat by Barcelona and have also taken two points, compounding a poor start under Jagoba Arrasate.
