Mallorca vs Real Madrid Prediction: Expect a win for the guests

Sunday's pool of the 20th round of the Spanish La Liga will begin with the match between Mallorca and Real Madrid. The bookmakers are on the side of the capital team, however, we should not forget that Real Madrid played a difficult match against Valencia in midweek, while the Balearic side had a whole week to prepare for the match against the Madrid giants.

After being eliminated from the Spanish Cup, Mallorca played two matches in the national championship. First, they beat Celta 1:0, and eight days later, they lost to Cadiz 0:2. The position of Mallorca is not bad. After 19 games played the Balearic team is 10th in the division with an asset of 25 points. The gap from Cadiz, located in the relegation zone, is six points. The gap from Betis, located in the Eurocup competitions, is six points. However, we doubt that in the desire of Mallorca, there is participation in European battles rather than the fastest possible guarantee of retaining a place in the Spanish elite. Mallorca's home statistics are 14th in the division, with 14 points in nine games and a goal difference of 7:6.

The unbeaten streak of Real Madrid lasts five games. It began with a victory in the Spanish Cup over Villarreal. In the national championship in the last three rounds, there are 7 points: victories over Athletic and Valencia, with a score of 2:0, and a 0:0 draw with Real Sociedad. The loss of points has cost Real Madrid a five-point handicap from Barcelona, and it is clear that no one in the club wants to increase the gap to the leader, which means that the Madrid side is going to the Balearic Islands exclusively for three points. Real Madrid's away statistics are second-best in the division. Only Barcelona is better +8=0-2, 22:9 goal difference.

Real is in good shape. In the last four games, they missed only one goal in the away match in the Spanish Cup from Atletico. In the previous three games in La Liga, Real did not concede, although the opponents were Athletic, Real Sociedad, and Valencia. Mallorca, in turn, has three defeats in their last four games and only one goal scored in this period. We will not be surprised if Real in the Balearics achieves another dry victory.
