Just over a week before the Champions League clash against PSG (February 14), Real Sociedad has the opportunity to qualify for a first final this season.
That of the Spanish Cup.
To do this, the Basques will have to get the best of Mallorca.
But Sociedad is having a difficult start to 2024.
A cascade of injuries, a lack of results in La Liga with only one victory in 2024, significant offensive inefficiency with no goals scored in the last two matches... Performances which put the whites and blues in 6th position, seven points behind the rival Bilbao, 5th, and eleven lengths from Real Madrid, leader.
The only positive point at the start of the year for Imanol Alguacil's men was the good run in the Copa del Rey.
Real Sociedad thus eliminated Osasuna (2-0) then Celta Vigo (2-1) to reach the semi-final.

RCD Mallorca has not won in La Liga since December 21 and a home success against Osasuna (3-2).
A negative series which dropped the club to 15th place, three points ahead of the first relegation zone.
On the other hand, Los Bermellones also shine in the Cup.
The Mallorcans thus eliminated Girona (3-2), second in La Liga, in the quarter-final.
Is a new feat possible against Real Sociedad?
Mallorca-Real Sociedad kicks off on Tuesday February 6 at 9 p.m. on La Chaîne L'Équipe.
