Mallorca vs Real Madrid Team Overview
Mallorca
Spanish side Mallorca kick off their La Liga campaign with one of the most challenging fixtures on the schedule this weekend, as Real Madrid are the visitors to Estadi Mallorca Son Moix.
They will be looking to kick on this season after finishing the previous campaign ending 15th in the standings. However, it could be argued that the majority of their focus was on their Copa del Rey campaign in which they reached the final and lost to Athletic Bilbao.

Jagoba Arrasate will be the new man in the dugout for Mallorca this term, and the club have spent minimal money in bringing in new signings this summer. Their standout signing was Johan Mojica from Villarreal. However, the new coach appears to have hit the ground running after winning five pre-season matches.
| Recent Form (all competitions, most recent first) | D-W-W-W-W |
| Key Players to Watch | Abdon, Vedat Muriqi. |
| Team Strengths | Excellent defensive record at home last season. |
| Team Weaknesses | Often wasteful in the final third of the field. |
Real Madrid
Los Blancos will have their sights set on successfully defending their La Liga title this term, and they will be the clear favourites when making Mallorca vs Real Madrid predictions this weekend.
The Spanish giants were the dominant force in La Liga last term, boasting leading figures in attack and defence. Real Madrid have also strengthened once again this summer following the addition of French superstar Kylian Mbappe, who has already scored in the European Supercup match against Atalanta (2-0).

In the match against Atalanta, Real Madrid again demonstrated their ability to increase their tempo during the game, particularly in the second half. Ancelotti’s team effectively pressed the opponent, forcing Atalanta players to make mistakes, which allowed Madrid to score two goals in fast transitions from defence to attack.
It seems that in the new season, Real Madrid will excel in quick vertical attacks, leaving their opponents with little room for error during transitional phases of the game.

However, the club have also lost some integral players this summer, including Toni Kroos, who announced his retirement from the sport. But, Los Blancos look well covered in the midfield area, with Jude Bellingham expected to drop into a deeper role for the team this season.
| Recent Form (all competitions, most recent first) | W-L-L-W-W |
| Key Players to Watch | Kylian Mbappe, Jude Bellingham. |
| Team Strengths | World-class attacking talent. |
| Team Weaknesses | Potential teething problems in the forward line. |

With all the focus on Mbappe ahead of this La Liga opener, it could be easy to overlook the excellent start to Spain that Jude Bellingham enjoyed in 2023-24.

The England international struggled with injury throughout the EUROs, but the break could see him come back to action in sharp condition. Bellingham was the standout player in Spain last term after netting a staggering 19 goals in 28 league appearances.
Mallorca vs Real Madrid Tactical Analysis
Unsurprisingly, we expect Real Madrid to dominate the possession in this season’s opening league match against Mallorca.
The hosts will sit back and look to hit their rivals on the counter-attack, but that could be challenging against this talented side that are as professional without the ball as they are with it.

Mallorca vs Real Madrid Prediction
- Football pick: Real Madrid (-1)
- Odds: 1.81 (22Bet)
- Score prediction: Mallorca 0-3 Real Madrid
We could see Real Madrid putting on a show in this opening match of the new season on Sunday.
Los Blancos have a strong attacking lineup following the arrival of Mbappe, and it will be intriguing to see after the European Supercup how they set up in La Liga with the Frenchman playing alongside Bellingham, Vinicius Jr, and Rodrygo.
Mallorca vs Real Madrid Betting Tip
- Football Pick: Vinicius Jr To Score
- Odds: 2.4 (22Bet)
All the attention will be on Mbappe this weekend, meaning that there could be value in siding with the current favourite to win the Ballon d’Or to open the scoring.
The Brazilian enjoyed another strong campaign in the Spanish capital last season after netting 15 goals in 26 matches.
