Mallorca vs Real Madrid- Real Madrid will be looking to make it four wins in a row in La Liga when they go to Visit Mallorca Estadi on Monday evening to take on the team from Mallorca. In the current standings, Real Madrid is in first place with an eight-point lead over second-placed Sevilla, while Mallorca is in 16th place with just two points separating them from the relegation zone ahead of this weekend’s matches.
Celta Vigo defeated Mallorca 4-3 in the league last weekend, with Iago Aspas scoring the winning goal in the 97th minute of what turned out to be an unbelievable game of football. Mallorca had lost their previous three league games in a row.
While the Pirates, who finished second in the Segunda Division last season, are attempting to complete a season at this level of football for the first time since 2013, they are firmly entrenched in the relegation hunt as they sit 16th in the standings heading into the final stretch.
In the current standings, Mallorca are only two points clear of 18th-placed Cadiz and four points clear of 19th-placed Alaves, but things could be different by the time this match kicks off; Cadiz was in action on Friday evening, losing 2-1 to Atletico Madrid, which was a positive result for the home side in this match.
Despite losing 13 league games this season—only Alaves (15) and Levante (15) have a worse record in terms of losses—Luis Garcia’s team was defeated 6-1 by Real Madrid in the same fixture earlier in the season.
Contract Termination: Barcelona Fed Up Of This Player Already?
In the meeting against Real Madrid during the 2019-20 season, Mallorca came out on top 1-0, but they have struggled in front of their home fans this season, collecting only eight points from 13 games and achieving just two victories in the process.
While Real Madrid will be coming off an unbelievable Champions League victory over Paris Saint-Germain, the Spanish giants will be coming off a 3-2 aggregate victory against Mauricio Pochettino’s club in the other match.
On Wednesday, Kylian Mbappe scored twice to give PSG a 2-0 lead in the game, but Carlo Ancelotti’s side rallied with a hat-trick from Karim, sending them through to the last eight. The visitors will be buoyed by their success, and they will be looking to build on that momentum in this encounter.
Los Blancos have also won their previous three league games against Alaves, Rayo Vallecano, and Real Sociedad to move onto 63 points in the standings, eight points ahead of second-placed Sevilla and 12 points clear of third-placed Atletico Madrid, who have played one more game than Los Blancos.

They have two more matches before the end of the month. It starts with a trip to Mallorca on Monday before hosting the Clasico against Barcelona on March 20. That is expected to be a fascinating encounter given Barcelona’s recent improvement.
Real Madrid has by far the greatest away record in Spain’s top division this season. They have picked up 29 points from 13 games. However, as previously said, their most recent trip to Mallorca in La Liga resulted in a 1-0 loss to the hosts.

TEAM NEWS:
Manolo Reina will not be featured in this game since he was sent off against Balados last Saturday, even though he was an unused replacement. This is inconsequential since Sergio Rico is the team’s first-choice goalkeeper. Takefusa Kubo scored Mallorca’s last winning goal precisely four weeks ago. But he will be unable to compete against his parent club in this match.
Consequently, with Fer Nio, Matthew Hoppe and Kang-in Lee all obviously out of the running, Angel Rodriguez is the most probable striking partner for Vedat Muriqi. First and foremost, Casemiro and Ferland Mendy were both banned for last Tuesday’s match. They will both return to the field immediately.
Nacho will thus lose his starting spot at left-back. He and David Alaba actually exchanged places in the second half of the match against PSG. This is something that doesn’t happen very frequently. In midfield, Eduardo Camavinga’s goal against Real Sociedad and appearance in the Champions League might give him a starting position in La Liga. This would be quite uncommon.
When it comes to the weekend’s meeting, Toni Kroos, who isn’t fully healthy, might be rested. Fede Valverde potentially missing out on the action. Marco Asensio will remain on the right flank, having been selected ahead of Rodrygo, Gareth Bale, Eden Hazard, and Isco.
Mallorca possible starting lineup:
Rico; Maffeo, Valjent, Raillo, Costa; Sevilla, Baba; Kubo, Angel, D Rodriguez; Muriqi
Real Madrid possible starting lineup:
Courtois; Carvajal, Militao, Alaba, Mendy; Camavinga, Casemiro, Modric; Asensio, Benzema, Vinicius
Mallorca vs Real Madrid Predictions:
In the current league standings, Mallorca is in 16th place and has lost their past four league games. They are two points clear of Cadiz, who are in 18th position and have played one more game.
Real Madrid, on the other hand, will be bursting with confidence after their dramatic triumph against Paris Saint-Germain. Real Madrid will never be written out in any competition. And their team, although being weaker in comparison to their illustrious history, is still filled with players of amazing skill and experience. Players who are capable of generating game-changing moments. Expect, Real Madrid to win.
Score Prediction- Mallorca 1-3 Real Madrid
