Atlético Madrid vs Mallorca Preview and Team News

Atlético Madrid News

Atlético Madrid secured a favourable draw for the Champions League knockout round with a 4-1 victory against Salzburg and finishing in the top eight. Antoine Griezmann scored a brace, while Marcos Llorente and Giuliano Simeone also saw the back of the net. The draw is set to take place on January 31st.

Atlético were held to a tie by Villarreal (1-1) last weekend, moving Barcelona closer to the second spot occupied by Atlético. Their exhausting victory against Leverkusen (2-1) forced Diego Simeone to rotate his squad.

As a result, the first 25 minutes saw Atlético without energy while Villarreal were looking to come back to the top four, which explains the poor result. 

Enrique Cerezo was asked about Rafael Louzán’s statement about Florentino Pérez and the refereeing situation. He preferred to remain neutral, saying he “trusts the goodwill of referees.”

Diego Simeone will have to choose his players wisely. Three days after the Mallorca clash, his team will face Getafe in the Copa del Rey. 

Atlético Madrid predicted lineup vs Mallorca (4-4-2): Oblak; Azpilicueta, Lenglet, Le Normand, Llorente; Lino, Koke, de Paul, Simeone; Griezmann, Álvarez.

Mallorca Team News

Head coach Jagoba Arrasate joined the fight against referees, lashing out in the post-match press conference about their encounter with Betis. He didn’t hold back: “We know what happened, and nobody listens to us. We already know we’re Mallorca and don’t have a speaker, but we feel neglected.”

Several players joined the rant, including Sergi Darder and Dani Rodriguez. A controversial red card originated the discussion, although it’s unsure how productive it’s been. 

After struggling to stay out of the relegation zone in previous years, Mallorca appointed Jagoba Arrasate as their new head coach. This bet was the right one, as the side ranked sixth in La Liga. However, his squad was powerless against Villarreal, and a few minutes were enough for them to be 4-0 down. 

Mallorca are yet to win a match in 2025. They were eliminated by Pontevedra in the Copa del Rey and ousted by Real Madrid in the Supercup. 

Mallorca predicted lineup vs Atlético Madrid (4-2-3-1): Greif; Mojica, Copete, Raíllo, Maffeo; Samú Costa, Mascarell; Darder, Daní Rodriguez, Navarro; Larín.

Atlético Madrid vs Mallorca Prediction

• Prediction: Atlético Madrid to win
• Odds: 1.4 (22Bet)
• Score Prediction: Atlético Madrid 2-0 Mallorca

When the hosts seem at their lowest, rivals often see their downfall as only mental. After a comforting 4-1 win in the Champions League against RB Salzburg, Atlético Madrid is likely to defeat Mallorca. However, they’ll be without Mascarell, who’s been one of the most important players when they lack ball control.

Atlético Madrid’s 5-3-2 shape out of possession often becomes a deadly counter-attacking tool, naturally expanding wing play against compact blocks. 

Atlético Madrid vs Mallorca Betting Tip

• Pick: Julián Álvarez to score
• Odds: 2.5 (22Bet)

While it is tempting to bet on Griezmann, who scored a hat-trick against Salzburg, it is unlikely he’ll score again only four days later. One of his best partners has been Julián Álvarez. His runs behind the defence often confuse deep blocks, pulling one defender out of their position.
