Mallorca vs. Real Madrid Prediction, Pick
This bet can be found under the “Match Parlays” tab. Coming out of the international break, Real Madrid find themselves four points behind Barcelona with nine games to play. The title race is far from over, but the margin for error for Los Blancos is diminishing by the week. Games against the teams in the relegation zone are must-win, and I think they will get the job done on Saturday.
Mallorca have just as much on the line in this one as they are in the middle of a relegation race.
In the last five meetings between these teams in all competitions, Real Madrid have won four, drawing once. Two or more goals were scored in four of those games.
Real Madrid are one of the best offensive teams in La Liga, as their 63 league goals suggest. Only Barcelona have scored more. Mallorca, however, is one of the weaker defensive squads. Their 47 goals conceded this season are the fourth-highest mark in the league. It’s a great matchup for Real Madrid to score goals at will, and even possibly boost their goal difference.
Real Madrid entered the break with five consecutive wins in all competitions, with two of those against Man City and one against Atlético Madrid. On the flip side, Mallorca had won only one of their last seven games, losing five of those.
Expect both teams to pick up where they left off, and for Real Madrid to put some pressure on Barcelona ahead of their game just a few hours later against Atlético.
