Real Madrid vs. Mallorca Predictions

Prediction, Odds & Betting Tips for Real Madrid vs. Mallorca at La Liga

Where: Santiago Bernabeu, Madrid, Spain
When: Wednesday, January 3, 7:15 pm CET

Real Madrid is again first in the La Liga standings. Even though they have the same number of points as Girona, the pundits give them much better chances to win the championship. Mallorca is in the bottom half of the standings above the relegation zone, but not safe at all. Their games are not exciting without too many goals, yet for the moment, we can say that they play solid football in terms of results. Also, the fact that they don’t have any pressure coming to Bernabeu is a great plus for the visitors.

Real Madrid vs. Mallorca Preview

Real Madrid

Carlo Ancelotti managed to revive his team after a short crisis early on, during which they experienced certain struggles and problems in their performances. For the moment, the team from Madrid has three victories in a row and has not lost in the last 17 contests.

During that fantastic streak, Los Blancos triumphed on 14 occasions, reaching back to the top spot of the Spanish championship and confidently winning their group in the UEFA Champions League.

They are ruthless at home, having nine victories and one draw in the latest ten appearances at Santiago. In only two events, Jude Bellingham and the crew couldn’t net twice. By the way, the Englishman is probably the best player in the whole of Europe up until this point.

Mallorca

The team from the exotic island in the Mediterranean Sea recorded six consecutive matches in which they haven’t lost, which is excellent, considering their previous results.

They would post a victory in three of them and record three draws, keeping a clean sheet in four contests. In general, Mallorca’s biggest weapon is the backline and the ability to preserve its net properly.

When playing away from home, this unit experiences big problems. For instance, Mallorca hasn’t posted a victory in La Liga since mid-September. Their only success was in the Spanish Cup, but their opponents were lower-tier teams.

Real Madrid vs. Mallorca Predictions

The home team has a much higher quality than their rivals. Mallorca defended well over the past few weeks, but withstanding pressure in Madrid versus Real is a completely different experience compared to anything before that, so the hosts should win here routinely and without too many problems.

Our verdict: Real Madrid wins
