Mallorca vs Real Madrid Match Analysis and Prediction

4 years ago 597

Real Madrid will be looking to make it four La Liga victories in a row when they travel to Visit Mallorca Estadi on Monday to take on Mallorca.

The hosts are 16th in the table, two points above the relegation zone, while Real Madrid are at the top of the table, eight points clear of second-placed Sevilla.

Mallorca suffered their fourth successive league defeat last weekend, losing 4-3 to Celta Vigo, with Iago Aspas scoring the winner in the 97th minute.

Luis Garcia’s side are looking to make it back-to-back campaigns in La Liga for the first time since 2013, but they are firmly in the relegation mix entering the final straight.

The Pirates have lost 13 league matches this season, and they suffered a 6-1 loss at Bernabeu in the reverse match earlier this season.

Mallorca recorded a 1-0 victory in the corresponding fixture with Real Madrid during the 2019-20 season, but have found it difficult in front of their own supporters this season, collecting just eight points from 13 matches, with only two wins in the process.

Their opponents Real Madrid enter the game off the back of a Champions League win over Paris Saint-Germain, with Carlo Ancelotti’s side securing their spot in the quarter-finals of the competition with a 3-2 aggregate over Mauricio Pochettino’s side.

Real Madrid have also won their last three league games against Alaves, Rayo Vallecano and Real Sociedad to raech 63 points in the table, 12 points clear of third-placed Atletico who have played a game more.

Los Blancos are threatening to pull clear at the top, and they have two matches before the end of the month, taking on Mallorca on Monday before a fixture of a home Clasico against Barcelona on March 20, which could be a fascinating affair due to the Catalan club’s improvement.
