Since both Mallorca and Real Madrid are looking to start their season on a good note, we are in for a tough fight over their first points of the season this coming Sunday.

Mallorca have a hard time getting on the scoreboard these days, as they managed a poorly nine goals in their previous ten matches. That is an average of 0.9 goals per game, in which they conceded nine goals, or 0.9 goals per game. Furthermore, they fought their way to three clean sheets in this run.

Mallorca vs Real Madrid Prediction

Mallorca Form

In their last three matches, Mallorca drew 1-1 with Osasuna before recording another draw with Almeria in a 2-2 match and beat Getafe with a 1-2 scoreline. Mallorca won half of their previous six matches on home soil in the LaLiga, while also drawing one. They suffered two defeats, while they scored five and conceded four goals.

Anything lower than at least a second place finish would probably be considered a disappointment for Real Madrid, as they look to build a title challenge.

Real Madrid Form

Real Madrid look well suited to take on any opponent as their last three matches ended with a draw and two wins. They started off drawing 0-0 with Real Betis, before downing first Borussia Dortmund by 0-2, then Atalanta in a 2-0 win. Real Madrid performed a very admirable four wins in six LaLiga away matches, as well as two draws but no defeats. They scored 16 times, while also conceding eight goals.

Defending champion Real Madrid are of course a red-hot favourite to re-claim the title, and they aim to make a good start to the season.

With Real Madrid looking strong, we expect them to get the better of Mallorca, and with goals flowing freely, the hosts could be in for a hammering.
