Mallorca vs Real Madrid Preview

• Date – Saturday, April 13
• Kick-off Time – 5:30 pm GMT
• Venue – Estadi Mallorca Son Moix

Mallorca will host league-leaders Real Madrid in a crucial weekend clash in La Liga on Saturday, April 13. Both sides are pole part in the league standings and Real Madrid are aiming to make it successive victories following the international break.

Mallorca have won two, drawn two and lost one in their last five games. Despite languishing just above the relegation zone this season, Mallorca ended up in the Copa del Rey final which they eventually lost to Athletic Bilbao on penalties after the match ended in a 1-1 draw.

Real Madrid are sitting comfortably at the top of the table with three consecutive domestic wins on the run. They have collected 75 points from their 30 league encounters and the visitors boast the best defence and attack in the entire league. The reverse fixture earlier this season ended in Real Madrid’s favour with a narrow 1-0 victory. It has been an excellent season for Brazilian attacker Vinicius Jr who has bagged an impressive 12 goals and will be hoping to keep his momentum going into this weekend.

Mallorca vs Real Madrid Team News

Mallorca will be without midfielder Omar Mascarell who is expected to be out with a hamstring injury until later this month. Martin Valjent is a major concern for this weekend and will be assessed ahead of the contest.

Real Madrid’s No.1 goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois suffered a knee injury before the international break which will keep him out for the remainder of the campaign. David Alaba suffered an ACL injury back in December and will not play again this season. There should be no fresh injury concerns for Carlo Ancelotti. The Italian manager will be boosted with the return of Eder Militao bolstering his defensive options.

Mallorca vs Real Madrid Prediction

Mallorca succumbed to a 1-0 defeat to Real Madrid at the start of 2024 who have recently lost the Copa del Rey final to 24-time champions Athletic Bilbao on Saturday night. The Spanish were on course to secure the trophy for the second time in the club’s history.

Meanwhile, Real Madrid have won three and drawn three of their last six games. Carlo Ancelotti’s men are unbeaten in their last 14 games in all competitions. In the last six games between both sides, Real Madrid have unsurprisingly dominated the head-to-head stats, winning five and losing just once.

Mallorca lost to Real Madrid away earlier this season and expects a similar result this time around at home.

Predicted Score: Mallorca 0-2 Real Madrid
