Mallorca-Real Madrid

Mallorca are set to face Real Madrid in what promises to be an intriguing matchup. Mallorca come into this clash having shown mixed form in recent games, securing victories against Burgos CF, Poblense, West Brom, and Barnsley, but suffering a defeat against Bologna. Their home performance particularly resonates with sporadic success, which could pose a challenge for any team.

Real Madrid, on the other hand, look to continue their winning ways after overcoming Atalanta and Chelsea. Despite their prowess, they faced a setback against Barcelona and were defeated by AC Milan in recent fixtures. However, their convincing victory against Albacete underscores their high-quality squad.

From their head-to-head encounters, Real Madrid tend to have the upper hand, winning three out of the last five matchups. However, Mallorca managed to emerge victorious in one encounter, and the scorelines indicate closely contested battles.

Given the offensive capabilities of both teams, it’s anticipated that both teams might find the back of the net (BTTS – Yes). However, considering the defensive solidity Real Madrid often exhibits, the total goals are likely to stay under 2.5 for this fixture. Expect a tightly contested match with Real Madrid having the slight edge due to their superior form and squad depth.
