Latest Mallorca vs Real Madrid match review
Mallorca will be in La Liga for the fourth consecutive season, marking their best run since 2013. Despite finishing 15th last season, seven points above the relegation zone, they have a new coach, Jagoba Arrasate, who left Osasuna to take charge at Mallorca.
Mallorca have made three key signings this summer, including Johan Mojica from Villarreal, Takuma Asano and Mateu Morey on free transfers, while goalkeeper Predrag Rajkovic has left the club to join the Saudi Pro League.
Mallorca have only won one La Liga game against Real Madrid since October 2019, a 1-0 win in February 2023. Last season, Real Madrid won both games 1-0 and will be strong favourites to win on Sunday, especially after a strong showing in the UEFA Super Cup.
Kylian Mbappe scored on his Real Madrid debut in a 2-0 win over Atalanta that helped Carlo Ancelotti win the UEFA Super Cup. Jude Bellingham shone in a deeper midfield role, and Real Madrid are favourites to win La Liga and the Champions League this season thanks to their impressive squad. Despite a less than perfect pre-season, Real Madrid showed good form in the second half against Atalanta.
Last season, Real Madrid won 95 points from 38 games, with the best offensive and defensive records in La Liga, and lost just one game.
