Real with handbrake on against RCD?

Real Madrid welcome the promoted team from Mallorca. The Bermellones managed an immediate return to the Spanish top flight after relegation in 2020 and have made a successful start to their quest to stay in the league. It was only on the penultimate matchday that they suffered their first defeat in the match against the Basques of Bilbao, who were in good form.

The defeat was followed by a goalless draw in the encounter with Villarreal last weekend. The home side, for their part, are off to a classy start to the new season, with the Blancos sitting in first place in the table.

For the match at the Estadio Santiago Bernabéu between Real Madrid and Mallorca, however, the tip aims for a maximum of two goals by the hosts. To get an overview of the available quotes for winning the title in Spain’s top division, click on the La Liga championship odds 2021/22 on Bettingbase!

Spain Real Madrid – Statistics & current form

Real coach Carlo Ancelotti recorded a 2-1 win over Valencia in the top-of-the-table clash last weekend. On the other hand, the victory was flattering: The two own goals came just before the end of the game and the opponent was weakened by two early injuries. However, with four wins and one draw, Madrid has basically made a good start to the season.

In addition, the games of the runners-up have been very entertaining so far, as they are rich in goals. With the departure of Sergio Ramos in defence, the back line is apparently still in a process of finding its feet.

This can be seen from the fact that seven goals have already been conceded. In addition, Daniel Carvajal will be absent for the next match due to an injury sustained in the last match. This has further filled up the defensive lazaretto, as Marcelo and Ferland Mendy are already out due to injuries. At the same time, however, the offence is working perfectly – no club in La Liga scores more goals than the country’s record champions – so goals are not a rarity in Madrid’s games.

The most goals are scored in Real games

More importantly, the average number is 4.8 goals per game – highest in a league-wide comparison. In the, as mentioned, strong offensive, Karim Benzema once again stands out positively: The Frenchman has already scored six goals for the 34-time Spanish champions this season.

With this tally, he leads the scoring charts. In the past three years, Benzema was only beaten by Lionel Messi, who took the top spot five times in a row and eight times in total. Now, after the Argentine’s departure to PSG, it looks like Benzema will finally be able to claim the title of the best goalscorer in La Liga.

On top of that, he is no less strong as a provider of assists, as can be seen from the five goals he has laid on for his team-mates. Benzema was directly involved in no less than eleven of the 15 goals scored by the Madrilenians this season

Vinicius Junior is hardly inferior to Benzema in goal-scoring

Vinicius Junior is also in fine form, ranking just behind the Frenchman in the goalscoring charts with five goals, and has scored in each of his last two league games. Given that, odds on his next goal in the Real Madrid-Mallorca match are just as good an idea, especially as Benzema is expected to get a breather this time around.

Predicted Real Madrid line-up:
Courtois – Fernandez – Gutierrez – Militao – Vazquez – Modric – Casemiro – Valverde – Hazard -Vinicius Junior – Jovic

Spain Mallorca – Statistics & current form

In 2020, the promoted side suffered their then-due decline into the second division mainly due to a glaring weakness away from home. In the relegation season, they won only one of 19 away games and finished last in the away rankings with just six points.

The joy was all the greater when the first away game at Alaves this season resulted in a three-point win. However, the following away game at Atletico Bilbao was already lost again with 0:2. Nevertheless, coach Luis Garcia can be satisfied with the start of the season.

Garcia will also have been pleased that the most important offensive players from the previous year have remained on board. The trio of Prats, Diedhiou and Rodriguez scored half of the Pirates’ goals last season. However, it is now becoming increasingly clear that they are reaching their limits in the top flight.

Will the home side prevail by zero?

Only Dani Rodriguez has scored so far in the recent win against fellow promoted Espanyol Barcelona. In total, Mallorca have only scored three goals so far, making it clear that their attack has not been convincing so far. In view of this, the odds on a home win to nil in the clash between Real Madrid and Mallorca are also interesting. The additional value tip is underpinned by the injury of newcomer Angel, who came from Getafe.

The defence of the 2003 Spanish Cup winners, on the other hand, is more stable. Even without the veteran Antonio Raillo, who has been injured for two rounds, only three goals have been conceded Only Bilbao and Sevilla undercut that low number

Predicted line-up of Mallorca:
Reina – Olivan – Sedlar – Valjent – Maffeo – Baba Mohammed – Ruiz de Galarreta – Mboula – Kubo – Rodriguez – Nino

Real Madrid – Mallorca Direct comparison / H2H record

The last time the capital and the footballers from the Balearic Islands faced each other was in June last year. On that occasion, the Vikingos won 2-0 at home in the Bernabeu. In doing so, the Madrilenians successfully took revenge for a 1-0 defeat in Palma in the first leg.

On the other hand, the victory of the underdog was the only one in the review of the past ten duels. Instead, the 1999 European Cup Winners’ Cup finalists have been beaten eight times and have otherwise only managed a home draw. From a statistical point of view, it is therefore not surprising that the odds are clearly in favour of the home side in the match between Real Madrid and Mallorca.

Spain Real Madrid – Mallorca Spain Tip

RCD have gone without a goal of their own in their last two league games, but can still rely on their defence. With only three goals conceded, they are currently very strong. For the showdown between Real Madrid and Mallorca , the tip is therefore for a maximum of two goals for the hosts

The home side are top of the table and have the best attack, but this time there are no signs of a scoring festival. This is also due to the fact that coach Ancelotti will probably give some of his regulars a little breather

Due to the currently very busy schedule, the coach will crank up the rotation machine and at least not send his usual starting eleven onto the pitch from the beginning. Furthermore, it is to be expected that the result will be primarily managed in case of a possible lead.

This is to save energy for the next two tasks against Villarreal in the league and Tiraspol in the Champions League, which are scheduled within the next seven days. Unibet offers betting odds of 1.72 on the clash between Real Madrid and Mallorca.
