Real Madrid vs Mallorca Preview, prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds | LaLiga 2024-25

Santiago Bernabeu gears up to host the Balearic Islands outfit.

Matchweek 36 of the LaLiga 2024-25 takes us to the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium, where Real Madrid take on Mallorca.

One of the most decorated clubs in football history, Real Madrid, now finds themselves on the brink of a rare trophyless season after a slender defeat to potential La Liga champions, FC Barcelona, recently. Carlo Ancelotti’s final season as the gaffer of Los Blancos would need a leap of faith and three straight wins to at least redeem their slim chances of La Liga triumph.

Real Madrid’s upcoming encounter against Mallorca would be crucial for them to rectify their previous fallacies and get back on track. Despite a loss, Madrid’s serious attempt to script a comeback was remarkable. They would be wary of the threat posed by Mallorca and would not commit the mistake to undermine them.

A beacon of regional pride for the islanders, RCD Mallorca, find themselves positioned ninth in the LaLiga points table. The Vermillions are very much in contention for a continental spot. The plausibility of making it to the Conference League as well as Europa League are still alive.

They would treat this game with utmost severity, as a win or loss could determine their odds of playing European football next season. Getting the better of Real Madrid at home won’t be an easy task, but Mallorca have previously caused a lot of upheaval, and the likelihood of another upset can’t be denied.

Players to watch :

Kylian Mbappe (Real Madrid)

Kylian Mbappe’s performance in the recent El Clasico seemed like the highlights of the 2022 FIFA World Cup Final, where Mbappe single-handedly carried his team. History repeated itself again as a valorous effort and a hat-trick from the French sensation was not enough to snatch a point against Barcelona.

This season, Mbappe has netted 27 goals in 31 matches for Real Madrid with 3 assists as well. Despite his maiden season turning out to be a rare disaster, he would be motivated to play at the Santiago Bernabeu.

Sergi Darder (Mallorca)

Sergi Darder, the 31-year-old Spanish midfielder from Arta, has plied his trade with teams like Espanyol, Lyon and Malaga before joining Mallorca in 2023. Since then, he has made 69 appearances and scored 3 goals for the Islanders.

He would be eager to emerge as a guiding force in the midfield for the away side and control the tempo of the game. Darder’s performance will be vital for Mallorca if they eye a possible upset in Madrid.
