Mallorca and Paris Saint-Germain meet on August 5 in what is arguably the most eye-catching pre-season friendly of the month. Luis Garcia’s side arrives carrying genuine momentum from the last 30 days, having won both of their recent outings. PSG, under Luis Enrique, have not played in the past month according to available data, yet their overall 2026 record of 20 wins from 31 matches tells a story of consistent quality. The interesting angle here is that Mallorca are not simply making up the numbers. They have beaten stronger opposition during this pre-season window and will not be intimidated by the occasion.
Two players worth watching are PSG’s attacking core, which has been relentless in Luis Enrique’s system, and Mallorca’s creative presence in their 4-2-3-1 shape, where the number ten role has been the engine of their recent wins. Keep an eye on the pressing intensity from both sides early in the match, as pre-season games between quality opponents often produce open, transitional football.
Hot stat: In their last recorded match, PSG defeated Arsenal 5-4, a nine-goal thriller that underlines how open Luis Enrique’s side can be defensively even when producing their best attacking output. That kind of game signals significant potential for goals in this fixture.

Mallorca vs Paris Saint-Germain Prediction
The bookmakers price PSG as clear favourites at around 1.70, and that reflects the reality of the gulf in squad depth. PSG’s 65% win rate across 31 matches in 2026 compared to Mallorca’s 39% from 23 games makes the French side the logical pick. We predict a PSG win, but the value does not necessarily sit on a straightforward moneyline bet at those short odds.
The more compelling angle is goals. The 5-4 result against Arsenal and a 1-1 draw with Bayern Munich suggest PSG are not set up to keep clean sheets right now. Mallorca, meanwhile, have scored seven goals across their last two games. Both teams have shown attacking intent, and the pre-season context removes some of the defensive discipline that competitive football demands. Over 2.5 goals looks well-supported by recent evidence from both sides.
Mallorca’s 4-2-3-1 tends to produce a disciplined defensive block with quick transitions, which can generate set-piece opportunities and corners. PSG’s 4-3-3 presses high and forces errors in wide areas, meaning corner counts in matches involving them tend to be elevated. On fouls and cards, pre-season friendlies generally see fewer cautions, but PSG’s high-press style draws contact regularly, so expect a moderate foul count from Mallorca as they absorb pressure.

Team Analysis
Mallorca have been in sharp form over the last 30 days. They beat Al Ittihad 4-2 in their most recent outing, a result that showed both attacking punch and some defensive vulnerability. Before that, they dispatched Al Fateh 3-0 with little difficulty. Going further back, their pre-season has been mixed, with losses to Getafe and Levante sandwiched around positive results. The win over Al Ittihad is the most relevant data point heading into this match. Scoring four goals in a single game signals that their attacking unit is clicking, and that confidence will matter against a PSG side that can be opened up.
PSG’s last five matches paint a picture of a team that generates and concedes in equal measure during this pre-season window. The 5-4 win over Arsenal is the headline result, but before that they beat Lens 2-0 and Brest 1-0 in back-to-back games, showing they can grind out tighter victories when needed. The 1-2 loss to Paris and the 1-1 draw with Bayern Munich show that even elite opposition can find ways through their structure. Luis Enrique’s side is clearly not yet in peak competitive shape, which is entirely expected in August, but their attacking output remains high across all five fixtures.

Pre-game Odds and Win Probability: Paris Saint-Germain the Favourite
- Moneyline Mallorca 3.65 | Paris Saint-Germain 1.70
- Draw 4.40
PSG at 1.70 is short but justified given the class difference. Mallorca at 3.65 offers genuine value if you believe their recent form translates, though it remains a long shot. The draw at 4.40 is attractive as a speculative option, but neither team’s recent results suggest they are likely to cancel each other out. The real value in this market sits on goals. Both teams scoring is backed by the evidence of this pre-season, and over 2.5 goals is the bet we feel most confident about given PSG’s attacking patterns and Mallorca’s willingness to push forward.

The Verdict
PSG are the stronger side on paper and their attacking depth under Luis Enrique makes them the team to back for the win. We predict a PSG victory with goals at both ends. The 5-4 result against Arsenal is not an anomaly. It reflects a squad that is still building cohesion defensively while firing freely in attack. Mallorca’s recent scoring form means they are capable of contributing to the tally, even against top opposition.
To be honest, the straight PSG win at 1.70 feels thin for a pre-season fixture where anything can happen. The smarter play is pairing a PSG win with over 2.5 goals, or simply backing both teams to score at more generous odds. Mallorca’s 4-2 scoreline against Al Ittihad proves they can find the net, and PSG’s defensive record this pre-season gives them a real opportunity to do so again here.
