Next win for Real Madrid?
Just a few days after the 3:1 win against PSG, Real Madrid wants to take the next step in the league towards the championship. Away in Mallorca could threaten an unpleasant task for the guests.
Ahead of the match between Mallorca and Real Madrid, the odds certainly indicate a favorite role for the guests. Real Madrid is the leader of the table, individually much better and inspired by advancing in the UEFA Champions League.
Now the question is whether the royals can carry the momentum from this game or whether Mallorca might have a chance to catch the favorites on the wrong foot. Kickoff for the match is Monday at 9 p.m.
Mallorca – statistics & current form
The fact that Mallorca, as a promoted team, is in a relegation battle surprises few experts. The team of coach Luis Garcia has so far shown some good approaches, but sometimes lacks above all the necessary penetrating power. No player has scored more than four goals in the league, and even when goals are scored, the defense sometimes causes concern.
This was the case in the last league match, the 4-3 defeat of the promoted team at Celta Vigo. Mallorca currently has 26 points from 27 games on its account, which is only a solid yield. Thus, the team is in the middle of the fight against relegation and will need a few more points to be safe. Especially Granada and Cadiz are not far away from Mallorca.
Mallorca: Can the losing streak be stopped?
Because the last four games were all lost. After previously winning two in a row, this was particularly bitter, as Mallorca thus continues to be stuck in the middle of the critical zone. In addition, there are defensive problems, as the Garcia eleven concedes the second most goals of all teams in La Liga. In 2022, Mallorca has not yet played a single game without conceding a goal, and that urgently needs to change.
Garcia recently tried to change the formation so that Mallorca could act in a more balanced manner and set the tone offensively as well as defensively, but this clearly backfired. Against Real Madrid, therefore, the typical system with the four-man backfield should be used again. At least a positive approach would be important, because Espanyol and Getafe are two opponents who are definitely beatable.
However, there is little to be said for the hosts. If they were at least confident, the chances of a surprise would be better. Based on the current situation, our prediction before the match between Mallorca and Real Madrid is that the royals will win this game.

Sergio Rico – Maffeo, Valjent, Raillo, Jaume Costa – Battaglia, Grenier, Lee, Rodriguez – Kubo, Muriqi

Real Madrid – statistics & current form
It was a triumphant second half for Real Madrid during the week in the Champions League against PSG. The Royals are playing a very decent season, not always shining, but being there at the certain moments when a great team needs to be. Led by Modric and Benzema, PSG was brought to its knees in the end, the euphoria is great.
Many experts see parallels with the years when Real Madrid won the Champions League several times in a row. Results soccer with isolated highlights and a squad that is bursting with experience. The truth is, however, that there are still doubts as to whether the big hit in Europe can be achieved.
After four consecutive competitive wins and first place in La Liga since matchday three, this comes as little surprise. With Sevilla FC, only one rival can currently keep up to some extent and even the Andalusians don’t really believe in their big chance to win the title.
Real Madrid dominates the league
With only two defeats in the entire league season, Real Madrid underpins their dominance in an impressive way. But: both bankruptcies occurred away from home, in addition to two draws. If the royals are to be cracked anywhere, then when they play away. However, both defeats came against teams that defended very well. That is precisely what cannot be expected from Mallorca at the moment.
With 56 goals of their own, Real Madrid has the best offense in Spain’s top division. 21 goals conceded are also the second-best figure after Sevilla FC. They also have the fewest defeats (2) and the most wins (19). So a lot has to come together for a defeat to be imminent in Mallorca.
However, a drop in tension can be seen at times, especially after such an experience as during the week. And at least in the switching game, the host has its qualities. Therefore, before the Mallorca vs Real Madrid match, our value tip is that both teams will score.
Predicted lineup of Real Madrid:
Courtois – Vazquez, Alaba, Nacho, Mendy – Casemiro, Camavinga, Kroos – Asensio, Vinicius Jr, Benzema
