Latest team news for Mallorca vs Atletico Madrid
Mallorca may be without Javi Llabres and Marash Kumbulla as both need fitness tests before the match. Vedat Muriqi is the biggest bright spot with 3 goals in 3 games and will certainly lead the attack. Mateo Joseph is yet to score but will continue to be trusted, while Pablo Torre – a former Barcelona player – will start on the wing.
Atletico will be without Alex Baena, Jose Gimenez, and Thiago Almada due to injury. Additionally, Johnny Cardoso and Julian Alvarez's participation remains uncertain. Alvarez sustained a knee injury in the match against Villarreal and missed the Liverpool game; it is unclear whether he will be fit to return.
Nico Gonzalez is likely to continue playing on the left wing, while David Hancko, Koke, and Alexander Sorloth could be brought back into the starting lineup by manager Simeone.

Latest football match prediction: Mallorca vs Atletico Madrid
Mallorca had a difficult start to the 2025-26 La Liga season, suffering a heavy 0-3 defeat to Barcelona at home, before securing their first point with a 1-1 draw against Celta Vigo on August 23rd.
However, Jagoba Arrasate's team then suffered consecutive defeats against Real Madrid and Espanyol, leaving them with only 1 point after 4 rounds, temporarily placing them 19th in the standings. The "Pirates" need a win soon to boost their morale, and Atletico's recent strenuous Champions League campaign could be an advantage for the home team.
Last season, Mallorca finished 10th, just 4 points behind the European qualification spots. However, their recent performances haven't shown the potential to repeat that success. Historically, Mallorca have won 18 out of 65 matches against Atletico but lost 33, and in their last 5 encounters, they have all been defeated by the "Rojiblancos".
Atletico Madrid also had an unsatisfactory start to the season, only earning 2 points after the first 3 rounds, losing to Espanyol and drawing with Elche and Alaves. After the September international break, they finally found their first win, beating Villarreal 2-0 at home.
However, Atletico suffered a defeat in the Champions League earlier this week. Despite brilliantly drawing 2-2 against Liverpool after being 0-2 down, they conceded the decisive goal in the final minute scored by Virgil van Dijk, leaving the field empty-handed.
Thus, Atletico have lost two matches this season, sitting 11th with 5 points after 4 rounds, 7 points behind Real Madrid – the league leaders. After failing to compete for the championship in the 2024-25 season, Simeone and his players are under immense pressure to get back into the race.
