Real Madrid vs Mallorca Prediction: Real Madrid boasts a strong recent track record against Mallorca, clinching victory in 23 out of their last 40 encounters compared to Mallorca’s 12 wins. The last time Real Madrid lost against Mallorca in La Liga was a 1-0 defeat, and they haven’t faced consecutive losses against them since 2001. Furthermore, Real Madrid has secured victories in their last seven home matches against Mallorca in La Liga, tallying an impressive 24 goals across these games.
However, Mallorca’s away performance against Madrid-based teams in La Liga has fluctuated. After a promising streak of two wins in three away matches, they’ve hit a dry spell, remaining without a win in their last five such games in the league.
Remarkably, Real Madrid’s defensive prowess has shone through this season, conceding only 11 goals in their first 18 La Liga games. This defensive record stands as their best in the history of the competition at this stage of the season.
Form Guide
Real Madrid, undefeated in their last 12 league games following a 3-1 loss to city rivals Atletico, have surged in recent weeks with five victories in their last six La Liga matches. Showing dominance at the Bernabeu, they’ve claimed victory in 11 and drawn two of their last 13 league games since April. Notably, they’ve netted 15 goals across recent home wins against Osasuna, Valencia, Granada, and Villarreal.
Despite arriving in Madrid in good form, Mallorca has remained unbeaten in six matches since late November. However, Javier Aguirre’s team has struggled to secure wins, with their recent 3-2 triumph over Osasuna marking only their second league victory in 13 attempts since mid-September.
When playing away, Los Piratas have faced difficulties this season, managing only one win and suffering five defeats in nine fixtures. Mallorca has failed to score in their last four away games, including a 1-1 draw against Atletico Madrid last month.
