Wednesday night sees the continuation of La Liga action as we approach the climax of yet another entertaining season. This night also sees Real Madrid and Mallorca meet with the match a must win for both sides for different reasons. The match will be played at the Santiago Bernabeu and may be decisive in both the title and European race.
This game can be watched from multiple sources. These are LaLiga TV and Premier Sports – where the match is streamed both on their 2nd channel as well as their Sports Player.
• Real Madrid have picked up the joint-most points at home with 43. This is a stat that is matched only by Athletico Madrid. • Madrid have been awarded the most penalties of any team in La Liga this season with 12. • Mallorca are ranked 3rd for clearances during the 2024/25 campaign with 973. • Mallorca make an average of 5.9 crosses per match – the most of any team in the division.
Both teams come into the fixture with something to fight for in the form of the prospect of European Football and the title. Currently sitting 2nd, Madrid will view this as a must-win game if they are to stay in with a chance of winning the title from Barcelona’s hands. Losing this game could mean eliminating their chances of winning La Liga this season.
Mallorca go into the match currently placed in 9th but only out of the 1 Conference League spot on goal difference. Winning this game could propel them into this spot and even as high as 7th. However, losing this game could mean this gap is extended which decreases their chances of securing European football for the 2025/26 season. One thing is for sure, this game is one both sides must attack.
Predicted Lineup (4-2-3-1) – Courtois, Garcia, Asenscio, Tchouameni, Vasquez, Ceballos, Valverde, Vinicius, Bellingham, Guler, Mbappe. Coming into the game off El Classico, the game is crucial for Madrid as covered. The front four of Mbappe, Guler, Bellingham and Vinicius should be watched out for. However, Real’s defence should not also be underestimated. With the experience of Courtois combined with the stability of the back 4, Madrid have established themselves as a well-rounded team in La Liga this season and winning 4 out of their last 5 proves this. This, alongside their excellent home form, puts them in good condition for this fixture.
Predicted Lineup (4-2-3-1) – Greif, Mojica, Raillo, Vajient, Maffeo, Samu, Mascarell, Darder, Rodriguez, Asano, Muriqi. Fighting for European football can be especially hard but in La Liga, it is even more difficult. Mallorca come into the game off a 2-1 victory in their last match against Real Valladolid and should not be underestimated. Vedat Muriqi and Sergi Darder can be seen to be key players but considering the games the away side have lost recently were by tight 1 goal margins, their defence also offers stability.
